Well folks, the results are in! Our family doctor called yesterday with the results of my son's abdominal ultrasound and blood work. It is essentially good news but still leaves a lot of questions regarding what he can and cannot eat.
Happy Weekend GF peeps! And Happy Memorial Day Weekend to my friends south of the border! For us, this weekend will be spent continuing to pack for our move in August. Although we are excited about the move, this whole packing and purging deal sucks! I'm just sayin'......
Anyway, in an effort to delay that fun-filled job for as long as possible (just being honest!) I thought I'd share a few more Hits & Misses that we discovered this past week.
I am happy to report that my kitchen, fridge, and pantry are now approximately 50% gluten-free. As my son is the only one who NEEDS to be gluten-free, I find we are slowly paring down on the "old" food and replacing it with the GF variety.
Good morning everyone! And a warm hello to all of our new followers. Udi's Gluten-Free was kind enough to direct many of you to my blog via their Twitter account and I am very thankful for the kind words and useful advice that has been coming our way. As many of you know, we are only 2 weeks into this gluten-free journey and it is an adventure filled with trial and error. So, as we try to figure out what my son likes, and inevitably doesn't like (!!) I thought I'd share some of those Hits & Misses here.
It has been 2 weeks today that my son has been gluten-free and our household has been gluten-reduced. And as we continue on this journey we are discovering new products almost daily. Many of which we have never eaten or tried before. So I thought we would share some of our "Hits & Misses" in the gluten-free/healthier eating department as we go along.
The past 10 days have been interesting for us. On the advice of our family doctor we have put my 12 year old son on a "gluten-reduced" diet. A bit of history:
My son has had a diagnosed Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) since the age of 5. I'm sure there will be many blog posts to come about our experiences dealing with that issue and the things that worked (and didn't!) for us. But this is about the gluten.
My 12-year-old son is currently working on a school project for his IT class, where he has to create a slideshow of pictures, all of people, places, or things that are special to him or that he enjoys. So far he has photos of the dogs, his Pokemon cards, and some X-Box games. These are the "important" things in the life of a 12-year-old. I am hoping a photo of his mother will rate at some point. *wink*
So this project of his got me thinking about the thousands upon thousands of pictures I have taken over the years, and I thought I would share a few with you on this chilly Saturday morning in May. And by the way, Mother Nature, what up?!?! It is not supposed to BE chilly in May!
