Two Week Challenge

So after endless nights with random awakenings throughout I've decided to attempt a gluten free diet for Alistair. My friend Lisa has just started doing the same for her son and raves how much better he is in just a week. Considering Alistair already has low tone which includes his bowl perhaps this change for his system will be beneficial in many ways. I've decided to give it my best for two weeks and re-evaluate the situation after its all done. To my surprise most of the products I was looking at buying were cheaper in our local health food store rather than the big box grocery store. This wouldn't have been my first guess. I am going to try making some bread as the stuff I've bought is so dense and heavy and Alistair just wouldn't beable to consume this stuff. The little munchkin has a full set of teeth but hasn't realized the benefits of using his little chompers to break things up. So we can give him textured stuff but it does have to be just right for him and the bread just doesn't cut it. To my relief though there is all sorts of hot cereals we can give him which is what he loves for breakfast. So I bought a selection: rice, quinoa, and oats which all get to a palatable consistency for him. I'm also going to start giving him some high fat shakes too beef him up a bit as his metabolism is so high. I've been told its due to his high resperation rate due to the funky lung. Anyhow, I don't think I will stick so strictly that I worry about the odd sauce but overall he'll be a gluten free kid for then next couple weeks! Wish me luck : D ~ Cheers Julie
