The next step in our journey.

So along with the fact that we're a fairly dairy free family. I am a gluten free Mama. After many months of avoiding the subject and digging my heels in I gave up and have made the transition. As of right now it hasn't been that hard. I am actually surprised because I know most restaurants etc do not have many if any gluten free things on their menus. What does this mean???? "Hey miss? Could you please make sure that salad doesn't have croutons?" Not an issue croutons are gross anyhow. I feel silly for avoiding it actually.

A few things.

I just realized how behind I am here. Just a few things I've been dealing with lately.

Item #1. The fact that Theo will likely NEVER digest dairy and I am okay with that. This is an amazing conclusion since I found enzymes that aide him in digestion but I can still tell that it's a toxin to his poor little body. Please folks if you think that this is the way to go in order to digest dairy please rethink it. Much research proves that humans were not intended to digest dairy from other animals. We can use other things to make our sweet treats (that we should also limit) and get our calcium.

Item #2. I WILL be healthy no matter what my weight does. I am starting to feel really good and it's been almost a year since my surgery (thyroid for those that are unaware). My weight fluctuates and that is extremely difficult for me to deal with emotionally. It's NOT about my emotions though. It's about being healthy. I exercise and eat appropriately (most of the time). This is what I am going to accept as my reality.

I will be adding more to this later when I am more clear in thought. Thank you for reading this installment.
