After 575 days on GAPS, Carter is offically healed. Now he eats everything! Well almost everything! He's still eating a real food/non processed diet for the most part and we will stay away from soy in all forms and cauliflower, mainly because Mommy is still scared of those foods. We are sticking with the 80/20 ratio of foods because now he can indulge in a cheat every once and awhile and he's just fine!

Fire Burn

Carter’s second birthday party is set for May 21. It will be a time filled with family, fun, friends and Carter safe food. I was trying to think of fun ways to use Carter’s safe foods. Sugar is a safe food, and what is cotton candy? Spun sugar!! We are renting a cotton candy machine for his party. I went to the store yesterday to get cotton candy sugar and paper cones. I picked up the Pink Cherry Vanilla flavored box. In the ingredient list it stated: Contains Soy. What?!?! This isn’t Soy flavored cotton candy! Why in the world would there be any reason to put Soy in this? I am still floored by the way that Soy makes it into so many everyday things! Luckily, the Blue Raspberry flavor did not contain Soy. I am also looking into using Baker’s sugar and making some without any flavoring, so I know they will be Carter safe. It shouldn’t be so hard to have a little fun!
