Gluten-Free Diet

It has been extremely difficult just starting to write this blog, even though it is something I wanted to do very much. I wonder if others have had this experience. So, I am on the computer this morning researching gluten-free foods and I thought, "I will just blog about this while it is fresh on my mind and in front of me." We are starting a gluten-free diet in our house because my son has experienced an extreme speech delay. I have read some about it and don't really understand it completely yet, but people suffering with a variety of issues have benefited from it, one group of which is children with autism. My child was diagnosed earlier this year with pdd nos, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified. It is a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. If you are wondering why I didn't capitalize this diagnosis it is because I don't even respect it enough to give it capital letters. You see, we are Christians, and it is impossible for me to accept this diagnosis. God is a healing God and Jesus took stripes on His back for this sort of thing. So I won't accept it, respect it, etc. I will fight it in whatever way is necessary. God has a plan for my son's life and I am part of that plan. My purpose as his mom is to facilitate a portion of that plan, so I continually try to find things in this natural world that will help him while we continue to believe God's Word as truth. Therefore, I am creating a list of gluten-free foods which we will all implement into our diet. I will keep you posted as this venture progresses. 1 Peter 2:24
