DS and I had our appointments with the naturopath today. I liked her a lot. She was awesome with DS. Listened to what my concerns were and talked to him. She is suggesting a month dairy and gluten free for him. His fidgetiness, dark circles under his eyes, perpetually red ears (external) and pale skin all are suggesting gluten intolerance in particular to her. So we'll see how that goes. We start tomorrow.
She ordered about 3 pints worth of bloodwork for me. She's strongly suspicious of food intolerances with me too, gluten being her favorite culprit. No dietary changes until she gets it all back. She's looking at a bunch of other things too.
We came home with some supplements and a plan. I'm feeling really encouraged.
Tomorrow, depending on the weather, we'll head out to Whole Foods and our local food co-op. DS is NOT happy about having to go without milk for a month. He's not a big fan of soy or rice milk to drink.
We're off from school for the week. Chance of some snow tonight, but not a lot in our part of the state. It shouldn't slow us down too much. Not that we have a lot planned. I'm hopping to get into the pantry and cupboards for a good cleaning out. It's time, gluten free or no. Haircuts tomorrow. Would love to drive up to Vermont for a day but we'll see. We're busy Wednesday and Friday nights so we can't go then.
One thing the doctor recommended was getting the carpet out of the house. We'd been planning that but DH has been resistant. Now that he heard her say it he's more willing. It may even happen this week.
We're enjoying the Olympics. DS is in love with snowboard cross and short track speed skating.
