Hi,

The first weeks are the hardest (and stop bragging about having time to shower

-LOL). Pretty soon you'll be skipping the emails on the topics you've got

down pat. You'll find a few trusty brands to buy. Meals will become simple

(albeit repetitive). Just deal with gfcf, and don't sweat the detox, gelatin,

multi-supplements for now. Check books out at the library before you decide

to buy. GFCFrecipes can give you everything you need for cooking for now.

Initially, I felt a lot of pressure to replicate dishes and desserts as much

as possible. Forget that! Too expensive & time-consuming. (And mostly

rejected by my child anyway.) Cook in bulk and freeze (like chicken

not-mcnuggets, waffles & chili).

Re " allergy " testing - a hot topic lately - you need a cooperative, or at

least pliable - doctor to order the ELISA panel to test for food antibodies.

It is just a tool and not 100% accurate, nor does it disclose phenol and

opioid problems. Your insurance will probably cover at least a portion of it

if the doctor fills out the insurance form properly. That test was very

helpful for us - I never would have guessed that rice, garlic and carrots

would be a problem. (And subsequent slip-ups have proven it.)

Now, we better get some sleep!

Welcome to the club,

.... Please tell me there's another way!!!

Also, I don't know anything about all of this allergy testing

many of you are doing. How can I do that, on a very tight budget?

Thanks for reading to me vent.

's mom,
