Wheat!


As some of you know we have been battling stomach issue with my daughter. 
Which I would call episodes where the poor thing would wake up in the middle of the night and vomit for hours. To the point of exhaustion. We went through all the necessary thing like keeping a good journal, seeing her pediatrician, referred to a GI and an endrogonologist. With nothing other then some puberty concerns and an inflamed stomach. I was one frustrated mama. Since all this has been going on for more then 2 years and hospital visit after hospital visit this mama is taking things into her own hands. I started her on a probiotic, a lactaide pill  and daily vitamin.  After a no rule bedtime sumer we are back on track and going to be in complete darkness no lights, TV or music. This one has been tough but so far just a few preteen feet stomping and slamming doors.  we have notice the probitic has help but the major change was what she was eating. I cut salads down to once or twice a week, limited the dairy consumption and no soda (unless special occasion). We do not eat school lunch I pack her a balanced meal daily. I even changed the products I buy for her lunch. No fruit roll ups no rice crispy treats, no brownies the list can go on. It may seem like in torturing her. She hasn't seem to notice. We bake alot more now all from scratch. This has helped. We also started to go organic when we can and 100% whole wheat. 

I thought for sure the men in the household would fight me the entire time. So far they are all in. Last night on my day off we baked three different things for our busy week. The teenagers commented "if 100% whole wheat organic is going to taste this good then I'll be ok, but I will still need my soda once in awhile" I was shocked. To be honest I don't purchase soda unless we are having company or my dad is home for the weekend. We are water, tea and juice drinkers (100% fruit juicy). 


Some things we Cooke..
