New attitude

Can it be true? Has going gluten free really adjusted Brady's attitude? It seems to be the case. He is much more easy going, happier, and sleeping better....seems to good to be true!!!!!

I'm still struggling with reading labels and find myself questioning the ingredients...I know it will get easier, but right now it is still so hard...on the wallet too!!!! The prices of gluten free stuff is outrageous...they are leaving stuff out, so shouldn't it be cheaper!!!!! I know it takes more work, so I'm really just kidding, but it is nice to dream!!!

Brady is turning 3 on 2/28, which means he will no longer get in home speech services, but he does qualify through our school district, which means he will go to preschool 2.5 hrs twice a week. It breaks down to an hour of speech a week, but he will also have much more peer interaction. Thankfully going in on an IEP does not require Brady to be potty trained...we are not even close!!!

GF Update

It has been over a month are things are really slow. I am slowly learning all the labels and what he can eat. However, labels can be deceiving. I just discovered that a package of cookies I had reserved for him, which I had been so excited since it said Wheat Free on the package (**note to self don't forget to read the label more carefully**) although they are wheat free, they are not gluten free....Idiot!!!!! No wonder progress has been slow. Of course I feel so guilty that I have been feeding him these cookies, now back to the drawing board for cookies that he likes.

Why do companies have to be so unhelpful...I am getting such round about answers to such a simple question...is your product gluten free? Why is that so hard...I am supposed to be able to figure it out & I am not a manufacturer...why can't they figure it out????? Thank goodness for fresh fruit & fruity pebbles!!!!!
