We are on Day #4 Giving little bit some gluten each day until the biopsy on the December 8th. As all of you who have gone GF and had to go back please join me in stepping outside after this for a screaming session and GF drinks!!!! Really though I knew Gluten did BAD things to my child and I know when she had it in her system even though we try our best to keep her in a GF environment. I mean you can see it physically in her stomach but also all emotional changes. Now on day 4 I sit here trying not to rip my hair out watching my child's regression in her behavior, speech, and well all of her functions. I am only on day 4 and emotionally overwhelmed. I am shocked that I was so happy at all the positive the GF diet that I forgot all the horrible things that prolonged gluten caused her. I am exhausted from the chaos that is now my child's mood. (ones of the sure sings she has had gluten though) I have whiplash at the speed in the breakdown of her speech, motor functions, and regression for her age.
I look at her behavior everyday saying this is not all her it is the gluten too. I still make her do the things she was expected to do before. She just spends much more time calming down in her room then before, being reminded to use her words, how to hold utensils, and now to go to the bathroom. I go to bed each day thinking how did we live like this not knowing? How did I have the patience to live like this all the time?
Well this is just day #4 in our journey I am sure I will post more on this. GL and Bless you all that are going through this right now or that are not yet diagnosed.
Note: I have thanksgiving day pictures and info that I will share but not today
