I know, its actually been a few days since my last post but I didn't want to jinx things. The last few days have been SO quiet on the health front. Lucy has been coasting along problem free which is a rarity for more than 2 days at a time. We are weeding through Zachary's food sensitivities one by one and having a lot of success there as well.
Originally we started off avoiding wheat, soy, and milk, but now I can seen clearly that oat is a big problem as well. Zachary also had some issues with mouth sores when we switched to almond milk. At the moment we are using hemp milk as a substitute and he seems to be tolerating 2 glasses of that a day.
Zachary has made some pretty significant strides in the 2 weeks since we started the new diet. First, hes gained almost 3 lbs! And second, his ashy skin has cleared up for the first time since toddlerhood. Around age 1 Zachary developed this terribly dry skin on his arms and legs that was downright gross. There wasn't a lotion or soap on the market that seemed to help. It was just always there, but miraculously I noticed as of tonight its gone!
Hopefully this is just the start of a long standing record of "feeling fine" for my kiddos!
