You have really taken this mom job over the top and made it a full time career and I applaud your effort.

I remember my mom trying to figure out HOW I would eat. Birthday parties were fun until the cake and ice cream came out, not because I couldn't eat them, but because the situation separated me from everyone else. <br /><br />The worst part was finding a bread I could tolerate. We went from one that tasted like eating a spoonful of salt with every bite to one that felt so heavy, one bite felt as if I were eating an entire piece of bread.<br /><br />I never looked at it from my mom's point of view until now, so thank you for this post.Theresa Wizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991340792082953965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-5558110257666992932011-07-14T11:53:05.754-04:002011-07-14T11:53:05.754-04:00What lucky children you have to have such Great Mo...What lucky children you have to have such Great Mom like you!

No ...Jenn, our older son turned out to be a celiac. No hope of reintroducing. That explains why the reactions to it were so violent. He will also react to casein and soy, which, as I'm sure you know, are similarly-structured proteins. I haven't tested our younger son for gluten in a loooong time. He's a nut...maybe I should. And, ohhhh, the journaling. I remember it like a horrible dream.Amy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-85540290931500733972011-07-11T13:56:29.005-04:002011-07-11T13:56:29.005-04:00You are such a good mom.

Of course when my daughter was younger, we only had so many recipes available. We did eventually reintroduce her to glutens as the 18 month journaling of that didn't prove to help her behavior or her gastro-intestinal issues. We have kept her casein free and she's still allergic to soy and oatmeal :(<br /><br />BRAVO for you though!! I'm thoroughly impressed with the dolphin cake!! You rock for sure :) Cheers, JennJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.com
