Quick update:
Sooo... we ran out of all varieties of 'milk' over the weekend. My husband was very helpful and ran to the store to get milk. I forgot to specify not to buy actual cow's milk, so of course, that's what he came home with. Since milk is in fact what most people buy when they go to the store to buy milk.
Now, I am one of those people who will finish the crusts off my kids' grilled cheese sandwiches no matter what because a) I loooove grilled cheese but feel too guilty about eating them to ever fix them for myself and b) I HATE WASTING FOOD.
So we just dove right in, and started drinking the milk. Well, Mini, Pickle and Yummy did. Just to be clear. They all had a cup Sunday night, and two cups Monday and Tuesday. And Yummy (who is 2 and would prefer to get milk all day intravenously rather than eat solid food) had probably two additional cups - one for naptime and one for bedtime, in addition to one at breakfast and one after dinner. That's a lotta milk.
So call me crazy (it's happened before, and I can take it) but Yummy has had a runny nose all day. It's running faster than my friend's husband Bryan runs away from Triscuits. (It's an inexplicable phobia.)
And about a half hour after he went to bed he started coughing. And coughing and coughing and coughing... a very dry, asthmatic, borderline croupy sounding cough.
Is this my answer? I hate to jump to conclusions, and this is hardly a controlled study, but it seems like an interesting development, right?
Or maybe Yummy just got an actual cold and I'm crazy for thinking this way...
What do you think?
Great posts so far. I am excited to follow along in the eating of "food."
ReplyDeleteAs I described earlier I have been eating with a paleo diet lifestyle for about a year now. I love it, and have never been happier. I've healthier, faster, and stronger.
For ideas on what foods to prepare, you could turn to a book called Everyday Paleo. It is a fantastic cookbook, that I have been using. I actually gave a copy to all of siblings to use with their kids. You should check it out.
Have a great day.
Thanks, Dr. Henrikson! I'm so excited to find a doctor who doesn't think I'm insane for trying something besides steroids. As you can see we're nowhere near paleo standards yet but I think we're at least doing a little better than the average gatorade swilling American toddler. Oops, there goes my gatorade ad... Thanks for reading and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSorry. HenriksEn. I am the worst spelling snob in the world. Apologies for misspelling your name when it was RIGHT THERE one post above.
