Looks like gluten's out

It's been about three weeks of testing foods. Monday we added in wheat in the form of my favorite breakfast food, spoon-size shredded wheat. What a treat! Of course we are suppose to eat it three times a day for three days so the treat wasn't as wonderful by the third day. However, the good/bad news is that by the morning of day two, Joe had all the symptoms return that made us try this in the first place. Headaches, intestinal stuff...you get the idea. He's been feeling so great the past few weeks and now, with the return of symptoms, realized just how bad he's always felt. Since he was a kid! We are so thankful to have a place to start focusing. We know that it could still be something else everything seems to make sense so far though this lens. This week we've been working on learning all we can about gluten intolerance. I'm looking forward to trying new ways to make bread and other foods Joe loves. Any one that has good references on the subject feel free to comment!
