Blood and Sugar

Sweet Serenity had blood drawn on Saturday morning. They are running a full Celiac panel and checking a few other things. She was less than thrilled. She was so not happy that we had to bring in the big guns. DAD!! He was able to talk her thru it when I could not. Poor kid, Poor dad....
Anyway back to the Celiac issue. It is not common in Asians, but shows up some. She has a less common symptoms so it is worth a shot. The more I read a gluten free/dairy free(gfdf) diet is thought to help with ADHD. We already know that dairy and sugar are problems for her so if she tests positive for gluten dinner just got a whole lot more complicated. I hope she likes lettuce. Just kidding #1 I know there is lots more to eat and #2 she does like lettuce.
My girl takes after her mom in being an adventurous eater. On our last cruise the waiter stopped bringing her the children's menu after she confidently ordered sushi telling him she liked the salmon the best. Like any other American kid she will miss MickeyD's but the world her oyster. And yes she will eat oysters but they have to be cooked.
