We Survived Christmas!

The holidays were hard for my little lady, but she handled them quite well for an almost six-year-old.   She and her brother ended up with the stomach flu!  Buddy was down-and-out on Christmas Eve with waves of nausea, but never threw up.  We had to skip church, which was sad because it is always a great service and helps us to remember what Christ mas is all about.  Buddy rallied for a couple hours that night to open presents with the cousins on my side, at grandma's house, just down the road. Miss Tootsie ended up with the bug on Christmas morning...she woke me up at 6:30 saying her tummy hurt, then a couple minutes later she was vomiting on the floor.  By mid-day they were feeling pretty good and we were able to join my husband's family for Christmas dinner.  One of the cousins also had the bug so we figured it couldn't hurt to get together since everyone had been exposed. There were lots of temptations on Christmas and we caved on a few treats, which didn't see

GF Bisquick

A good friend of mine has a gluten sensitive hubby and she told me about GF Bisquick last night!  I never thought to look for it.   We make homemade biscuits with the same ingredients, but it's nice to have it premixed to save time on busy evenings.

SIBO & Food Allergy Testing

Well, little Toots has been having some trouble with constipation for the past month, she seems to get full quickly,  and she has had a stronger craving for sugar.  I have also noticed a bit of irritability and she has been looking a little thin.  We called down to the GI specialist (Dr. L) to see what we should do and he said we should schedule another breath test.  Ugh.  Not something we really wanted to hear, but we agreed it should probably be done... Today was the big day and the test didn't go so great.  She swallowed the last drop of the fructose solution, then started heaving.  I tried to get her to breath deeply and was rubbing her back, but it didn't work.  Most of the solution came shooting out in a projectile fashion all over the floor.  Poor girl - she looked grey.  The lab tech called up to Dr. L's office and he said to send her on up.  We stopped by the restroom to change her clothing, and she ended up covering the bathroom floor with the rest of the soluti
