I'm afraid that they won't eat enough and then will be hungry and cranky later.<br />But the key is consistency so that your bodies can adjust (it can take 18-24 months to heal a gut that reacts to gluten or other things!). You WILL get used to and even enjoy these new foods as your palettes adjust to less junk. <br />I just tried Pamela's Gluten Free pancale mix to make banana muffins tonight (no dairy either) - a hit! The price of it will make it a treat for us but it's nice to have something easy to whip up on occasion. Also - try using almond flour or pecan meal (whatever you can get cheaper - online is the best place to find these) mixed with Herbamare/salt, and other spices to bread your chicken or chops. Drizzle with olive oil & freah basil and bake until the almond flour starts to get brown. YUM!<br /><br />I'm soooo rooting for ya cuz I know how good this is for your family (as already seen by improvements)!! :-)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />AndreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515461667570309152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295929005439567974.post-30356714622696368142009-12-05T13:15:07.544-05:002009-12-05T13:15:07.544-05:00WOW!

By the time we got to day 5 it was no big deal. <br /><br />I remember being very close to tears passing a mcd on day 3 because I wanted a diet coke sooooo bad!<br /><br />The funny thing about the diet coke was that after 10 days, I didn't like it anymore. I ended up not drinking any for about a month, but now I'm hooked again:)<br /><br />Hang in there! It will get better :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000316469819029565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295929005439567974.post-3449695333550532512009-12-03T20:04:31.576-05:002009-12-03T20:04:31.576-05:00What is the recipie for that dinner?

Maybe the bad side-effects will wear off in a few days. It's so exciting to hear your progress and it makes me want to go on the diet (Michael says not while I'm pregnant :)).Heather L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09892693393383714339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295929005439567974.post-83877175870284821012009-12-02T23:18:58.493-05:002009-12-02T23:18:58.493-05:00I admire your courage.

The "withdrawal" will go away, but I know it is so hard. I don't feel good when I just take out bread, so I can't imagine how you all feel taking so much out at once. It obviously is working though.Tisha Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764004265353388587noreply@blogger.com
