We cheated.

Yep, that's right. We gave Austin gluten and casein. It has been 3 months and since we have not noticed significant improvement we decided to reintroduce gluten and casein to see if anything changed. Austin had some pasta and cheese yesterday for lunch and a biscuit this morning.

We were disappointed to see that nothing changed. In fact, he had a great day yesterday. We took a car ride for about 2 hrs. to Virginia Beach to go shopping at the mall and drop a friend off at the Norfolk airport and Austin was just peachy. He was in a great mood and babbled tons. He slept well last night, has had a great day today, as well as a good 3 hr. nap.

I think for the rest of the holidays we will just continue to add back in more gluten and casein and monitor the effects. If nothing bad happens, I guess we can assume this diet is not for us but we also may end up retrying it in the near future as well. I will continue to keep everyone updated.

So the day we start, you guys stop!!! Now that's funny! :)

I've been meaning to email you. Yes, sucky pen-pal strikes again! Things will be better in January once M goes to school. To answer your question, we didn't get the diaper issue in writing but they made a verbal promise and that's about all we're gonna get at this point so we took it. I'm over it now...have moved on to other crises!
