OT-recent threats

[Guest guest]

I just read about people being concerned about the possibility of required

vaccinations due to terrorism and am wondering about another worry. My

concern is that what if something happens to the primary caregiver (I call it

the keeper of the kitchen) of a child on this diet. It doesn't have to be as

a result of terrorism, it could be an everyday thing, that may even require

an extended hospital stay. Would our substitutes, even if they support the

diet, know where to shop (some of us mail order and have 3 different stores

we visit for different products), what even in the house is ok, when to give

the supplements and how, how to access this site for questions, where the

recipes are, how to make the playdough and fake pizza, where is the binder

with the list of acceptable foods is, how to mix the darifree (ok-those

directions are on the box, I'm going a little overboard) Anyway, my point is,

I've realized how much I keep in my head, and this whole diet for most hinges

on strict compliance so after obsessing about it I think I'm going to type up

directions and leave them with loved ones. Maybe I'm being morbid, but I

think it's important. Food for thought-Helene, who is obsessing way past her

bedtime.

This discussion has got me thinking- thanks.

I have three on this diet, but only my, recently turned, six yo has worked

to learn about what he can and can't eat. He is completely knowledgeable

about his foods. I also have educated, or at least partially educated my dh

on these foods. I think, for me, the real fear is not what foods mine can

have, but the extent of keeping these food pure.

I do have a cabinet set aside for gfcf foods, so this might help with that?

I'm wondering how to write out a simple plan that will convey the need to

keep everything pure.
