Sorry this is so late today; I didn’t get a chance to use the computer all weekend and today was wicked busy! SO…as I left it last week we were wondering about the corn in the probiotics and weren’t sure if Zac was handling them well or not. Monday I … Continue reading
I was woken up far too early by children who got far too little sleep. (6:45 a.m., in case you were wondering.) My normal “get up and go” routine took far too long as I stumbled around in a brain fog until I looked up at 9:00 a.m. to realize … Continue reading
Well, it’s been a little serious here lately, what with probiotic trials, paper eating, and Mommy Meltdowns, so I’m lightening it up a bit with a new recipe today! When Jed was first diagnosed with MPI (Milk Protein Intolerance) I struggled mightily in the kitchen. ALL of my limited cooking … Continue reading
Last week, I wrote an article about thriving as the parent of special needs. In it, I talked about “finding your tribe”; a group of people in the same situation as you that you can share, commiserate and celebrate with. I said they would make your life better, even if you never … Continue reading
Thursday night last week, I received a distressing phone call. My grandmother had been taken to the hospital, and my aunt was told that “it didn’t look good” and that she should “call the family in”. As it was late, the kids were asleep, and Darrel and I were both … Continue reading
In February, I had a miserable time trying to make some Valentine’s Day chocolates for Jed. The poor child has never had a chocolate bar in his life, and I was determined to make some for him! I failed, but I vowed I would keep trying until I got it … Continue reading
On Monday I talked about Zac’s ongoing FPIES reactions, and how he’s had some “unidentifiable somethings that LOOK like they might be food, but really, I don’t know” in his diaper that were our only clue as to what might be causing his current acute/chronic reactions. And we really did … Continue reading
Jed is seriously allergic to eggs. He’s also intolerant to dairy. He also has issues with fructose – meaning most sweeteners are no good for him. Well, that just shoots Easter goodies right out of the water! No hard-boiled, dyed Easter Eggs, no gigantic chocolate bunnies, no jelly beans or … Continue reading
So here’s the story: it’s Monday afternoon, and time for me to make some dinner for my family. I’ve fallen out of my meal planning routine months ago, thanks to Zac and Jed’s food issues (I have to get back into that!) and I have NO idea what to make … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I really just wrote about what is happening with the boys, so here’s the latest: Jed is doing well on our Fructose Malabsorption diet, and we’re trialing him on different foods to see how he handles them. So far, we’ve tried coconut shreds, coconut milk, … Continue reading
