Forgive my rant-needed to vent

[Guest guest]

I am so infuriated right now I feel like I need to be sedated....I

(like so many of you) knock myself out trying to keep the substances

out of my son's diet to which he is allergic or intolerant-most

everything has to be made from scratch, of course, so, when trying to

put together a supply of safe snacks for my preschooler to take to

school I was almost in disbelief when I found a packaged cookie my

son could have-Pamela's Ginger cookies. I have been feeding them to

my son for the last 2 or 3 weeks ONLY TO FIND they have been just

recently recalled!!!!! These are cookies clearly labeled as wheat

AND GLUTEN-free! Even when making foods from scratch I feel like you

no longer can be assured of what you are getting. My son is

allergic/intolerant to so much-food and otherwise, that after a great

Winter last year (after going GFCF) things have gone to hell since

last March and I wonder some days how much more I can take. When you

see the rewards that a clean diet gives it is worth the headache

(seems like the understatement of the year right now), and you could

not pay me to knowingly give my son ANYTHING to which he is

intolerant, but I feel right now that my efforts are like spitting

into the wind! With everything else going on in the world today I

feel guilty even writing this, but on the other hand, my kids, my

family IS my world and right now things ain't goin so good. Sorry,

but I do feel better already. Guess I will go see if I can find

something safe(?) to make for my family's supper. Rosie
