==============
we've been wondering about when, or even if, we should challenge the
children. I had an inadvertent challenge a few months ago and
reacted badly to the very tiny bit of dairy I ingested. None of us
have life threatening allergies, we just end up with GI problems,
inflammation and very sore joints.
I have no plans on adding dairy to our diets, but it would be good to
know that I don't have to be hyper-vigilant about what the children eat.
I had undiagnosed celiac disease for around 30 years, plus a small
intestinal bacterial overgrowth for heaven only knows how many
years. This messed up my GI tract and gave me a myriad of food
allergies and intolerances.
Our children were diagnosed at age 4 with celiac disease so their
bodies weren't abused by food for too long. we're wondering if a
gluten free diet for a number of years won't allow their bodies to
heal enough to be able to tolerate the odd bit of dairy.
anyone have any experience with this?
