After Christmas, my son, Jacob received quite a gift ...we got his test results back and he is in fact gluten sensitive. I feel like this is a gift because now Jacob can start to feel more like himself, do better in school, and lose some of the physical symptoms he has been dealing with.
We had Jacob tested through www.enterolab.com It was so simple...just a few swabs of his cheek and a collection of stool...The swab showed that he had the gluten sensitivity gene and the stool test showed an autoimmune reaction to both gluten and milk.
We have had him gluten free for about two weeks and wow we can see such a difference in him. He is a happier, more energetic child. And I am amazed at how well he is adapting to his new diet!
Packing school lunches starts on Wednesday...we'll see how it goes...Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
