Well since October my husband has come home from the Middle East, but he’s only here until January 09 so we’re enjoying our time together. A-man is still seeing his speech therapist and behavioral specialist… while he did test genetically-negative for celiac disease, the allergist believes he’s definitely got a wheat sensitivity so we’re putting him back on a gluten free diet. We’ve also seen a neurologist who has told us he’s an Asperger’s kid but we’re doing yet another evaluation to get a proper feel for exactly where A-man is.
What a ride it’s been but I’m ready to take the bull by the horns… I’m beginning A-man’s gluten free diet again tomorrow, I’ve decided to let him eat my homemade pizza twice a month but everything else will be gluten free. His behavior is unbearable when we let him eat wheat on a daily basis, and it’s obviously negatively affecting his brain so… bye bye wheat and gluten!
My new recipe to try tomorrow – Gluten Free Yellow Cupcakes courtesy of A Gluten-Free Guide. I’ll have to modify the recipe to make it organic… the recipe calls for Jello brand products which is a no-go in our house.
