What a difference a year makes… After an enormous shift in my daughter’s eating along with her willingness to faithfully adhere to dietary restrictions, she is much healthier, her skin is happy, she has considerably more energy, does not require a daily nap, and seldom gets stomach cramping. Twelve months of modified eating has paid off in massive health dividends.

Retesting for food sensitivities revealed her “do not eat” list has radically changed. She is embracing the good report as she carefully begins to add former favorites such as chicken, dairy, and rediscovers the simple delight of vanilla.

While the the past year has been enormously challenging, I am grateful for the invaluable information I garnered along the journey as I acquired a new way of preparing and thinking about food. With a vast reservoir of knowledge, I anticipate incorporating what I have learned into everyday meal preparation as I discover new things yet again.
