GF

After many years of ongoing gastro-intestinal problems, we have decided to take Jonny off gluten to see if it helps. His specialists and dietician are hopeful. It has only been 3 days and my emotions have been all over the place. From thinking this will be terrible to feeling encouraged by the selection of food at Superstore. From feeling bad for Jonny over all the things he asks for and can't have to excitement when he likes one of the new gluten-free foods.
The next step will be trying my hand at baking gf (gluten-free). So far we have just avoided anything with gluten but you can only have hashbrowns for breakfast for so many days. Tonight I made macaroni and cheese and the kids all loved it, I on the other hand thought it could have been a lot better. I substituted corn starch for the flour and you could taste it. In hindsight, it may have been better to just use gf flour. Luckily, Jonny loves the corn pasta and I can make regular for the rest of us.
We don't know if this is only temporary or if it will make him better but it is worth a try.  I have been amazed by how many people I know who eat gf and am blessed by all their advice and recipes.
