We will definitely keep that in mind.<br /><br />I really appreciate the prayers. It means a lot coming from someone who understands how it feels to be sick all the time. I really want to be healed, but this diet is proving even harder than I anticipated. Yesterday was a really tough day. My husband keeps telling me to take it "one meal at a time". I've never dreaded meal time more in my life!Ericka B.

I don't know if you are aware of this, but there is tax break for special diets. Anything gf that we bought for him we could deduct the extra that is costs over what you would normally purchase. So, if I would normally by bread for $2.00 and his cost $5.00, I could get the tax break on the $3.00 extra that I payed for his special fool. I don't know how this applies to your diet since it is more than just gf, but you might want to check into it and save those receipts just in case you can get a tax break from the purchases. <br /><br />I had stomach and intestinal issues for a year after we brought Isaiah and Laila home. Like you, many doctors visits and tests and lots of weight loss(which wasn't so bad. Too bad I gained it all back!). Mine was a mast cell issue. After 6 months of meds, I was better, but because I have had this issue, it can flare up again at any time and don't think my stomach/intestines will ever be normal again. I understand being sick for a long time. Praying for some relief for you.<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656514419028761669noreply@blogger.com
