Gory Details

If you know any Celiacs you know we're not shy about the horrible details of how gluten affects us. So, warning to any readers right now, these posts will contain some fairly stomach turning details at times. Like right now.

The boys have some minor diarrhea today. It isn't full blown liquid, but it's runny and difficult for them to control. Gabriel has made it safely to the toilet for both of his episodes, but Zach had a couple small accidents. Now, given that we live in India and diarrhea is a fact of life, I can't be 100% sure this has anything to do with gluten. But this diarrhea isn't the pure watery, volcanic mess that usually results from the boys getting Delhi Belly. I'm wondering if this is the beginning of the purging process. It's only been one day, but the body can clear itself out pretty quickly. We'll see how things develop this week.

Yesterday was GF pancakes and an apple for breakfast, GF mac and cheese and another apple for lunch, dried fruit and cashews for a snack, and GF pizza and salad for dinner. Who says you GF eating isn't awesome?
Today the boys are currently snarfing down bacon and eggs. Lunch will be peaches and GF PBJ; dinner will be crockpot chicken, potatoes, and carrots.

The kids are loving it so far. Gabey was tantrum free yesterday even without a nap.
