From dabbling to all Seriousness now

I've tried trial and error techniques and strategies to discover any food intolerance hidden in my children's diets. Thus far the obvious ones were artificial sweeteners, colours and dyes, and fast food. 'A' was taken off cow's milk due to chronic constipation and abdominal cramping. Soy milk seems to accomodate easy digestion, and aids in the digestion of new foods. Also it provides that pleasant effect of combating acid reflux.

Chef Michael Smith's book has some awesome healthier alternatives to common family foods, including delicious multi-grain pancakes

I am still reading this one, but already I have a full list of daily nutritional supplements to get us on track towards better health, and closer to our goal of a balanced whole food diet. 

I have the second book to the left: Raising your Spirited Child, as a matter of fact I hadn't realized there was a whole series and am now going to look around for them, particularly this lovely looking workbook! This has given me a real world view of my child simply as being spirited, without any labels or medical terminology. It is an amazing reprieve, as well as revitalizes my own spirit as a mother.
