HIP, HIP HOORAY!!!
Owen cleared the Gluten and Candidiasis treatment on the first try. Owen has not had grains in his diet for 1.5 years. He seems to be ready. He has been asking for the past month to eat breadsticks and cereal and pretzels and noodles.
I promised Owen that when he was able to eat grains again that he could get a happy meal from McDonald's. I know it's probably not the smartest thing to start with, but I just wanted him to have the feeling of being a "normal" little boy. Everywhere we went, I had to take special food for Owen to eat, so I just wanted to give him a chance to be like everyone else.
We went through the McDonald's drive thru on our way home from Dr. Boggess' office and ordered happy meals for both Owen and Aubrey. The first thing Owen said was "I want some of Aubrey's chicken" He called it that because he knew that prior to today he wasn't allowed to have "Aubrey's chicken". His face lit up when I told him that he could have "Aubrey's chicken"
I have never seen Owen eat so fast in his life. I think he was afraid that I was going to change my mind.
Happiness is..... seeing your child grin from ear to ear because they just ate a McDonald's happy meal.

ReplyDeleteMy 2.5 yr old son is on gf/cf/sf diet. right now is ok cuz its easy to control but once he gets older I know it will be an issue.
I am glad Owen is doing well. I want to try NAET with him and hopefully we can afford it next year.
