Yesterday

When I picked victor up from daycare they told me he was less whiny yesterday. I wasn't even aware that he was being whiny there but I guess he would whine or cry during transitions from the playground into class. I don't know if this is due to GF or due to him just getting more comfortable with his class.

He ate a couple pieces of his sunshine burger but not much but he also didn't eat much of his pasta which he had gobbled up the night before. Maybe he just wasn't hungry?

For snack we gave him gorilla munch & he loves it. Its a little sweet so I'm not surprised!

Last night Victor had Ian's GF fish sticks. He gobbled them right up - he really liked them. He also had some leftover Annie's GF mac n cheese & pepper slices. He has really started to love peppers lately. Just a couple weeks ago he refused to eat vegetables & then one day poof! we were at a restaurant & he wanted my salad! I'm not complaining - its awesome. I have noticed that he has been eating up all his dinner but not so much lunch. hmm. Today I sent him in with the fish sticks again to see if he'll eat them.

Oh he did throw a tantrum yesterday again when DH opened the door but not the glass door in front. Victor had wanted to go out and DH was about to take him to Lowe's but realized he forgot something so he went to get it. victor freaked because he really wanted to go out. He finally stopped crying when we opened up the glass door.

That's funny about Victor. Austin does the same thing if we open the door. He knows that we are leaving but if I forget my cell or something else and stop to get it he cries until we finally leave :) Oh yeah and we had fish sticks for dinner last night too and Austin loved them!

Hi there, I am another GFCF mom and I just wanted to say hello. We've been doing the diet for 3 years. For us, it has definitely helped. I would not say my son is "recovered" but he is doing great, speaks at his age level now, is in an "inclusion" kindergarten and is definitely higher functioning than when he was first diagnosed. For us, the diet helped his many tummy troubles, and when he started to feel better, he was better able to respond to all the therapies--ST, OT, ABA.

There is no way of knowing if it will help or not until you try, and it looks like you are off to a great start!

It's hard to tell if your son is already having gluten withdrawal, but it is possible. If he is, hard as it may seem, the tantrums are a good sign, I'm sure you have already read that. But like you said it could also be teething or even a little virus, or just being 2!

Also, my son used to lead me places like the door too!

Thanks Katherine! I have been over to your blog and wow there's a lot to read! I hopefully will catch up.

Can I ask what your son wasn't doing when you first started? My son does not speak at all and he also does not understand a lot. Sometimes he has been constipated & sometimes he has had diarrhea but I don't think it was a constant problem so I am worried this diet won't help us. Of course I know I won't know until he has been with it for awhile!
