Now we have gotten back the results from Griff's allergy tests and things that I thought were good for him...just kidding, I was told. Here's the list...peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, shrimp, soy and spinach...he is not technically allergic to dairy but is borderline on the charts, so we are going to begin the process of omitting that from his diet as well. But spinach, really??? We are also in the discussion process of whether or not to omit gluten, not because he is allergic, but there is a great deal of research supporting a healthier, high functioning body without it.
He is doing great with all the supplement and we can see an improvement all ready...we are still having some issues with his behavior...a combination of adjusting to his new way of life and as a friend pointed out, McKenna walking full time may be causing him to act out as he is adjusting to that as well. His naturopath was telling us that kids with allergies and asthma have deficiencies with zinc, vitamin A and C, and that we should increase his protein intake.
We have just been so busy lately with t-ball, play dates, and soaking up as much of the weather as possible before we get into the triple digits...

Sara...I am so glad you have found a path and that you are being given some specific direction on which way to go. That is probably a huge relief!
I loved being around you guys the other day. And, of course, I couldn't see ANY "acting out" on Griffin's behalf. Your kids are always so full of sweetness. Golden, I tell ya!
mmm, thanks for that...I wish the public behavior was like the home behavior...but it never is...we love playing with your beautiful faces too
Glad to hear you finally have some answers! Your kids are adorable!
YEAH!!!! I am so glad to hear that you have some REAL answers. Follow up on that Zinc thing, it makes a HUGE differnece to so many aspects of their health. TO be honest I would put the whole family on a zinc supplement, you would not believe the difference it makes to your energy levels, hormone balancing, general mood, and digestion!!!! THey have even linked post-natal depresion to zinc deficiencies. It is so amazing how a little zinc can make such a huge difference... anyway I am rambling. So happy for you, can't wait to hear all your stories to come of his improving health!!!
Though a bit complex and not so easy to manage, I'm so glad you have some results back and answers to move forward with =) Keep hanging in there Sara! Your kids are so cute. I think Griffin really looks like you - it's amazing!
