I got a very sad "remember Live Journal" email the other day, which made me think to pop by here. My thoughts are a little too scattered to make a meaningful post because I am exhausted. But I'll do my best

I am extremely unconcerned about GMOs, but because most of the stuff that bothers to be dairy free, soy free, gluten free, etc. tends to also market to the organic and no-GMO crowd, that's basically how I'm eating right now. (I spend more time standing around in Whole Foods reading labels than I care to admit.) It's astonishing just how MUCH stuff we eat is made from corn and/or soy. I don't think most people would say that they eat a lot of either. But holy crap, they DO. Those two have been by far the most difficult to eliminate from my diet. I literally cannot eat out as long as I'm excluding them from my diet. I've looked at allergen menus for a ton of places. They usually don't even list corn on those. But most all of them had soy in every single dish.
The wheat thing, at least for Ryan, is a sensitivity that he'll grow out of. The protein passes into my milk and he has some difficulty digesting it. Gives him a tummy ache. By ten months old, his digestive system should have matured enough to handle it. (Unless it is something like celiac. Which I hope it's not. Although gluten free has been super easy. I don't mind rice pasta and the gluten free bread is really pretty good.)
Cereal, with the exception of oatmeal, isn't something I eat at all. I can't because it's too hard on my blood sugar. And since I don't eat it, the kids don't either. Honestly, if there was one food that I'd say most people ought to give up after all the crazy diets I've been on thanks to pregnancy and breastfeeding, it's cereal.
