oops - I misread your original post, and thought you ate corn as one of your few foods. When I reread, I realized you meant veggies minus corn, not including corn. Please disregard my corn comments, and good luck!

Did the quinoa pasta have corn as an ingredient? (The only quinoa pasta I've ever seen was a quinoa-corn mix.) Corn caused bloody stools for my son as an infant. Maybe try eliminating corn from your and your child's diet for a while and...

Thanks for your responses! My gut was telling me not to include the note, but my husband thought we should. I like the idea of having ds just say "my parents said I could only invite four friends from school", if he does run...
