Going Gluten-free...Again!

GracieGirl and E went bowling on a school field trip yesterday. Before they left, the school secretary called me to see if it was okay for E to have a soft pretzel. Well, when they got home, GracieGirl lifted her shirt, saying, "Look what happened after *I* ate the soft pretzel!"

Her tummy was covered with itchy, red bumps! I gave her some B-dryl, and before long, the bumps were gone.

I'm spending the day today making lots of gluten-free foods for her. Since timing is everything, I'll add that just last week, we went through our huge tote full of different GF flours and threw away at least 50 pounds of flour after discovering lovely weevils in them! I thought that they would be safe in zip-locks inside of the tote, but apparently not. Ugh.

Nick got new flour yesterday and I'm ready to start cooking. GracieGirl isn't too happy about this, and she already has food issues, but I'm going to do my best to have a lot of options for her so she doesn't feel deprived in the beginning.

Also, when we got E his Allerbling allergy alert bracelet, it came with two bracelets. Since E isn't allergic to wheat, we gave the extra bracelet with the wheat charm to GracieGirl.

Let the fun begin! :)
