We wheel and deal here too. My kids are used to it now... my almost 6 year old will offer the deal even... Mom if I eat 3 bites of each of these things, can I have some coconut ice cream for dessert? LOL

 

I remember when I first discovered the world of biomed...supplementing and dieting, I tried to make too many changes too fast.  Tom was already a ticking bomb and I was desperately searching for a way to help him.  School had become a nightmare and the few moments of peace he was able to find each day was here at home.  Out of desperation, I started pouring supplements down his throat.  He didn't swallow pills so everything had to be crushed or poured out of capsules and mixed in food and drinks.  Some are easy to hide in food.  Some are very difficult.  Meal times became stressful.  I was frustrated, he was pissed and it only took a few weeks for me to realize this wasn't the answer.  When we eat, we should walk away from the table feeling

nourished and satisfied.   I just can't see how the very thing meant to nourish your body becoming such an enomous stressor can benefit a person any more than a frosted doughtnut.  So I backed off, wheeled and dealed with him, started juicing and started again slow and easy.  He has tested on the higher side for gluten and casein, so we've cut it out of most of his " goodies "

, but leave it in where the benefits of the food (as a whole) outweighs the " infraction " .  We're using enzymes and so far, so good.  He has a cousin who is gfcf, another who is lactose intolerant and a friend who is diabetic, so the little sicko finds it kinda cool that he shouldn't have certain foods (hey!  when life gives you lemons, I'll make lemonade for my kid!)  haha
