Gluten-Free Day 4

Izaac, who is sleeping soundly in his crib, has unknowingly completed day 4 of a gluten-free diet. I've read dozens of stories in the past few days of people having severe eczema disappear when they removed gluten from their diet and am even more hopeful that this diet will do the same for Izaac.

The boys understand why Izaac can't have gluten and will offer him something he can have when he comes asking for what they're eating. (Just to clarify, Izaac does sit in a seat and eat normal meals and snacks. He doesn't just wander around eating whenever he gets a chance, yet if he sees someone eating, he wants to eat too). It amazes me how understanding Elijah and Joel are, probably because they know how much the eczema bothers him and I'm sure they're as eager to see his skin clear as I am.

As I research the benefits of a gluten-free diet, not only am I not freaking out anymore but I am inclined to go on it myself! Maybe I should. But if I do, I'll wait until after the holidays.
