Going Gluten Free

We have decided to try going Gluten Free in our household to see if it will help the problems we are having with Peyton. After all of the research I have done and all of the other Mothers and Profesionals I have talked to the only thing it can do is help. There is NO negative side to taking this protein out of our diet. I recently found out there is a family intolerence to gluten. SO my prayer for Peyton is not only to help with behaviors but if she was prone to intestinal issues we have already nipped that.

The search for Gluten free products has not been easy. There are not very many places here locally that have a whole lot. The prices are also not within a range of being able to change your pantry quickly which is frustrating. We have started basically one meal at a time. Alot of fresh fruit, vegetables, rice and meat. I have found a pancake and baking mix called Pamelas that we made pancakes last night for dinner with gluten free maple syrup and they were the best pancakes I have ever had. The kids loved them. Tyler of course has a little mental block beacause it is a change but I think he liked them. We tried the Bisquick gluten free pancake and baking mix and the pancakes were not good. I think we will definently stick to the Pamelas. There are alls orts of things I can make with this mix.

Today she had greek yogurt and bananas with strawberries for breakfast and so far things seem fine. We will se how the day goes
