White

I decided it’s been a while since I trialed anything for my son. He hadn’t had white potatoes in over 2.5 years (even though the ALCAT test said they were fine) since I knew he reacted to them. He’s been doing really well with the digestive enzymes and the cranio-sacral work, so I decided to trial him. Last Friday, on the way up to New York, around 2pm, I gave him about half a cup of Utz potato chips. He savored them, eating them very slowly and telling me how good they tasted. When he was finished, he asked for more, and I said no, explaining again that this was a trial to see how he tolerated them.

Around 6:30pm, he had explosive diarrhea. At bedtime, around 9pm, he complained that his stomach really hurt. Then later in the night, he wet the bed. And he wet the bed on Saturday night. And Sunday he was still complaining of a stomachache. And Monday he finally pooped again normally. Definite fail. Bummer.

But we trialed cinnamon for my daughter, and she had absolutely no reaction. So she gets another one added. He doesn’t. Poor kid!
