The gluten test was either thru a blood or urine test, can’t remember which.

The dairy was tough because I’d have to send meals with him for dinner as well as lunch.. I did do that most of the time, but not 100%.. same with friend’s or even neighbors houses, sometimes he would eat something with dairy. I realize the lack of following an elimination diet to the T sounds irresponsible..especially since I only have one child.. but I don’t pick him up until after 8pm most nights, we get home around 8:30, chat, go over homework, then he gets ready for bed. Then I do laundry, the dishes from the morning, play with dog, try to wind my brain down, lay out our clothes for the next day, then go to bed, or at least lay in bed wishing my brain would let my body fall asleep ;). Mornings aren’t too hectic, but it’s the one time of day where we just sit together and talk or work out.

Then.. I’d get to work and realize that I totally forgot to make and drop off a snack and dinner for him.:hilarious:

Summer is so much worse with all of the camps. Honestly, I don’t know how people to a complete elimination diet for kids!

I don't think those tests are perfect. A lot of them come back falsely negative. The only way to really tell is to eliminate it and see how he does.

The has part is learning to shop and prep. Prep can be minimal with a well stocked pantry. The easy part no more tummy troubles.

We tried an elimination diet a couple years ago, but admittedly we (i ) failed.. it’s so hard between caregivers and school to do it properly. I tried to eliminate all dairy first, and then moved to other foods/veggies that are known problems. He wasn’t 100% dairy free, but pretty close, and his stomach still hurt. He’s not lactose intolerant (we think), and he tested negative for celiac.

He did have severe GERD as a newborn/infant, I’ve asked if that could be related, but they say he doesn’t have it now. We’ve done everything from X-rays, to stool samples, to blood tests and urine tests. The only thing they ever find is constipation. We do medicine off and on. He hasn’t had a regular allergy test though.





My favorite drink!!! That sugar cane and mint look so appetizing right now!! It’s difficult to find a bartender who can make a perfect mojito.

If you can find a way to siphon off a little of that metabolism, I'd be interested in purchasing a vile or two. My grandmother used to tell us how my grandfather would eat a dozen eggs and nearly a pound of bacon every morning for breakfast and he always stayed thin. The catch was that he owned/operated a farm and was also a professional carpenter so he worked around 16 hours a day for years. That might have helped.

My grandparents came from Ireland. They ate like that, too, over there, but the men were out working in the fields every day and just burned off the calories and fat. No one was overweight, no matter how much butter, dairy, carbs, meats, etc. they would eat.
