Miserable drama! LOLOL THAT is correct!! Well put.

I have learned some survival techniques. Amazingly, Ben has lost

about 10 pounds. He's OK, but doesn't need to lose anymore. I

gained 5. How that works...I know it is because I am the one in the

kitchen. That is really the pits!

One of my survival techniques has been a carrot cake. I make 2

broiler pans worth, freeze it for lunches. I realized I wasn't

making enough food for the family, and that was creating stress.

This helps to fill in the holes.

Our grocery budget was also being killed. So, no expensive nut

flours for us! Walnuts in the food processer from Sam's Club, we

just have to adjust. I will try and write up our recipe. We like

it. It is not Marie Callender's, but we are years past that

anyway.

This past two weeks, after sooooo much reading, we started raw goats

milk and raw cream (cow). I fermented it with kefir grains (Elaine

said after you are well on your way it is OK--bifidus issue again).

the problem is, it tastes so good. Almost pure fat, similiar to

cream cheese. We eat it by the spoonful. So THAT is where my 5

pounds came from! Just another way to get the good bacteria in the

gut. We have access to goats milk now and will have the yogurt.

Ben is pleased about that.

We are on day 2 of cheese, trying to be moderate. Ben is looking

and feeling awesome.

I always thought our son would be healed, but thought that before he

moved away from home it would be almost too much to hope for.

Grateful beyond words.

Great tips Lorraine! Yes, I can relate about the grocery budget getting

murdered every week - please do share the walnut based carrot cake recipe when

you have a moment!!

So good to hear your family is doing well with the addition of some dairy

products. I long for the day when my ASD daughter can have a hunk of cheddar!!
