Today I was thinking about Nemi's Gluten/Casein Free diet. I had started it back in June, and the entire summer I was very strict on it. Now, in September, I find myself slacking a whole lot. I am not sure if it is because:
(a) we miss 'real' food at times. Not a whole lot of things, but bread we miss a lot, and juice. The list is not long, but after living 30 years of bread and juice it takes a lot more than three months to get used to not having it. Though when we have it we feel sick to our stomachs, which confirms how bad bread is to your system, we still crave it once in a while.
(b) Nemi does not eat as well and at times it is just easier to give in to the junk I know he will eat than to fight or even let him go without one meal.
(c) we think that it does not work in terms that I am not quite certain it was just the food that made a significant difference though it certainly does not hurt.
or (d) maybe because he has improved so much that we think we could just ease back to the old way of eating (I guess this goes with c)
Not sure why I am slacking off, but in either case I feel terrible about it because I want to continue to do the best I can for him. I think I want to give it another 3 months of a 100% conversion to the diet before I decide if it is working for him or not.
