[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, just to clarify: we're definitely not the most health-nutty family we know but due to our specific family histories, we cook at home most of the time, with whole ingredients, and abstain from certain foods (refined sugar, white flour, transfats) as best we can. Cake, crackers, etc are not band per se - I did make DD a cake for her birthday - but our notion of "moderation" is a couple times a year, not a couple times a week. So if we were to green light cookies or ice cream for every day that Grandma+Aunties+family friends visit and for every birthday party, then we'd have a lot more junk food in the diet than what is recommended by our Ped, what we would feel comfortable with based on our own health histories, and even more than what the actual grandparents want DD eating. No one wants DD to eat that much junk food either; they just don't realize that they're not the only ones trying offer DD treats.[/quote]

Well surely your family, who gave you your "health history", must understand that then right?  So just remind them you have a restricted diet for whatever your various ailments are and leave it at that.  If your pediatrician has your DD on a special diet it's easy enough to tell them that too.[/quote]
