Flour in food as welcome as Arsenic!
So, food allergies... restrictions.. what ever you want to call it.
It's been almost two months since we started this gong show and .. well.. I tis noticable. In the kids if nothing else. Gabe especially. The poor little guy's entire digestive system seems to be starting to recover and he is actually beginning to enjoy foods again.
Roarke seems to be struggling a bit with peer issues and the restrictions.. but is pretty good. I could attribute it to just a developmental hurtle, but I think instead I will give credit to the hard work of the foods. Either way, his moods seem to be less..errr DRAMA QUEEN overall.
Demetris is old hat at this and is doing quite well. He is experimenting with foods with me. Things from California Rolls to rice flour cookies.
I did have a bit of a revelation last night. Gabe and Demetris seem to have caught a cold. Coughs and sniffles and runny noses. This startled me because suddenly I realised that the constant runny noses had stopped. I am so used to Roarke and Gabe being purpetual mucus factories that I hadn't made the connection that they hadn't been lately.
THe down side of all this is there are no indisputable proof that this is linked to the foods. Just a whole lot of " coincidental" possibilities.
.... well... ok.. maybe the day we fed Roarke Kinder Egg Milk Chocolate for breakfast at the movie theatre and he later upchucked all over the house steps for his father.
Or... the night I threw a temper tantrum and shared a hamburger ( bun and cheese and all!) and a mud pie with extra hot fudge... then spent the rest of the day and night paying for it!!!!!
So.. now I start the slow progress of returning key foods back to the diet and see if they are ok. What first? EGGS!!!! In Controled amounts!
