Gavin has been not eating any dairy, egg, wheat or other gluten for a long time now. Yesterday he decided he wanted to try wheat again. We’d been thinking of trying some things again soon anyway, but had been waiting until the teething process was over since that affects him as well. It gets really confusing when there are so many things going on at once. Hard to tell if one thing or the other is causing a problem, or if it’s a combination.

Yesterday we were having lunch and Gavin reached over and snatched a (vegetarian) chicken nugget from my plate and stuffed it in his mouth gleefully. He proceeded to eat it in two bites. The second bite which was most of the nugget took him about three minutes to get down, but he was determined. The “meat” in the chicken nuggets we eat is mainly made from wheat so we watched him last night and didn’t see much going on. Of course one nugget may not be enough to tell.

So today for lunch he ate four whole chicken nuggets. That’s alot of food for him! He was quite pleased, since he always wants what his Mama and Daddy are eating. Now we watch for yucky diapers, irritability from tummy pains and stuffy nose. Hopefully we won’t get any of those and Gavin can continue with his nugget munching in the future.
