Last one.. I promise

I'm sure that at some point you all are going to get completely tired of hearing about my new gluten-free life style. Actually I'm sure that you are since even I feel like that's the only thing that I've talked about for 3 days straight now... And I actually like the sound of my own voice.... most people don't ;) lol.

Well I promise this is the last blog where I write about it all for while.

Today was a really good day. I had more tests done today, and met with a nutritionist. They were for the first time in .. a couple of years now, conclusive.

So I'm writing this because I actually feel... OK. Talking with her calmed my nerves so much. The tests she did basically proved that my body is completely and utterly out of whack right now. I'm on like over drive because my body is so confused and so unable to handle everything going on.

It was nice to talk to someone who listened. Someone who had some answers. Someone who let me be completely candid and probably make a fool out of myself in the way I normally do. Talking to her was easy. I had a lot of questions for her. A LOT. My biggest concern.. my baby. Is this new life style OK for him? Is it OK to remove gluten completely from his diet too?? Is it safe? Is it healthy for a kid who already burns off everything he eats... or a kid that's typically under weight for his age?

Actually I'm kind of excited. She told me that it's actually one of the best things that I can do for a super active little kid. That removing these things now eliminates a lot of future problems that can arise. I'm already sort of a strict mom as far as his diet goes. I limit sugar intake as much as possible (minus candy... I need to get a hold of his candy addiction) and he only drinks water, no soda... so the opportunity to do something even better for him is exciting.

One of my friends today said that he was gluten free until he was 18 because of his father's allergy to it. He said that his friends always thought his mom's cooking was amazing.. and I thought.. I can do that. I can do this. You have to learn how to cook different.. but that doesn't mean it has to suck. Actually this was one of the most comforting comments of the day because I feel like I'm baking or cooking something all the time, and I don't want that to change.

Actually it's something that me and my baby do all the time together.

I still have hives :( I know that they'll go away. I know that it's going to take some time... it's not going to be an instant fix. I just wish it was.

I went to Whole Foods today to check out their gluten free stuff. Kind of cool that there's so much out there actually. I'm on a mission to learn all the things in the regular grocery store that I can eat without having to go to specialty stores all the time.. eh gives me something to do :)

Well much love everyone, thanks again for all the advice, love and support!
