Overdrive

GAPS is how we hope to begin to feed Levi. Using real food to heal
his damaged little gut. All organic, all grass fed, nothing

We're so done with fake, bring on the real stuff

processed, all homemade, starting with broth made from marrow bones.
Did ya know you could do that?? My most amazing culinary skills were a
little stumped at that. Then we'll add a little bit of meat that
belonged to those bones. Then on to boiled non-starchy veggies.
Then on to.... well lets not get too excited. This means my sleep
deprived brain will go back into constant OVERDRIVE.  Broth... which
one to start, how much to give, how many to add to the rotation so we
can keep his body guessing on what proteins it is getting so it can't
reject them. Wait... is that goop coming out of his eyes again?
Should I pull the food trial or push through?? What, you ask?? Goop,
how does that fit into the equation? Strange you may think, but
that's the thing, his body does WEIRD things when it comes to food.
We witness him not begin able to stand still, he topples like he's
drunk, falls over A LOT. He also has eerie manic behavior, I can't
explain it. It's over the top hyper and he makes high pitched
squealing noises. He also has spent hours screaming in *crawling out
of your skin* pain from ME eating something. So you see there is a
lot to consider, and lots to watch for when feeding Levi. We were
planning to start with a rotation of 5 broths right after Christmas,
but it seems we all have been fighting off sinus colds, and coughs, so
I'm holding off till it clears up, so I can decipher if I should keep
pushing through a food trial or pull. If I push too hard, he ends up
really sick, there is a lot of mama guilt that comes with that.
Warning. Don't talk to me after pulling a food, I'm a blubbering mess.
