Footloose and Gluten Free

As of today we've decided to go gluten free. For those of you that have no idea what gluten is, let me be the first to explain. It's anything made with wheat. We are mainly partaking in this adventure because there is some research that children with food sensitivities (not allergies) sometimes respond to these sensitivities with neurological symptoms.
Sometimes these children have dark circles under their eyes, don't sleep well, don't behave well and have pretty short attention spans. Removing the wheat from the diet allows their bodies to rest and start to concentrate on other things that might be causing the problems. Then you pinpoint those new problems and start to fix them. Like peeling the layers of an onion.
Not only have we throughly researched this, but know people that have actually had profound changes in their children that were struggling with one issue or another.
This doesn't mean that we'll be off of wheat forever. It just means that we're off of wheat for a while.
Even at birthday parties. Even at your house. Even at the grocery store where they give out the free sugar cookies.
If we see positive change we can start to unravel the other issues that come up, strengthening his neuro systems and then slowly introducing wheat to his system again without his body thinking it's a toxin. If we go several months with this and we don't see any changes at all of course, we'll stop and try something else, but we figured, if not now when?
Footloose and gluten free baby! Come on over for dinner, y'all. We'll have ice cream for dessert.
