I regained motivation to try to stick to the elimination phase. I hope I haven't messed things up, I did let Ruth and Sam have a juice box and kettle corn on Saturday. A big no no for sure. So once again it's hard to tell if we are getting reactions. I can say that Sam was wiped out Saturday night, more from a busy day I think with emotions running high because of his birthday party and high maintenance friends. Sunday was not feeling well, tired lethargic, slight fever. And he didn't eat much of anything his stomach hurt. hmmm...
Monday morning he was fine. Though he seems to have a cold, or maybe allergies, running itchy nose and sneezing. Could it be a food intolerance reaction? He also said something interesting yesterday after school. He thinks the potato chips make him dizzy.
Sam has been calmer and more focused, it will be interesting to see if he reacts to foods once challenge foods one at a time over a few days.
Ruth I still haven't seen much change. She is flighty, unfocused, still demanding and still with a short fuse. I"m not sure what I could change for her.
I will try to keep closer tabs this week on my food journal forms. I have developed a nice variety fail safe foods for them that is not too hard to stick too. If we can get through a weekend we may get some results.
I'd really like to try to challenge strawberries this weekend...
