comparison photo. top gluten. bottom no gluten. This was 4 days after gluten free. He is EXTREMLY gassy if he eats gluten. He wakes up off and on crying in pain due to belly pain. it sucks.

Pretty much any baked good or sweet. I will just eat and eat anything starchy or sugary.

My problem is I am a all or nothing girl. I had quit soda cold turkey for 6 months. I had surgery and was throwing up so drank ginger ale...got hooked again :( smoking cigarettes same thing. I had one after 4 years of not smoking and then kept doing it for 2months the cold turkey again. My impulse control sucks. (I have a…

It's right near the front of her mouth (canine tooth). They said soft foods only for right now until her mouth heals.

the hard part is she hates a lot of the soft foods. wont touch yogurt, hates oatmeal, does not like lintels, smoothies, not big on pasta (and we are trying to cut out pasta and bread in our diets). Maybe we can do a veggie soup :)

all the crap the dr advised is. Mac n cheese, ice cream, Popsicle and so on.
