With the hustle and bustle of school starting I didn't post about the challenge phase of Paulo's elimination diet.
We've started challenging the foods that Paulo was restricted from last Friday. He got to pick the order in which they were reintroduced. He chose eggs first. So Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday he had eggs twice a day. Once at breakfast and again at lunch in the form of a hard boiled egg. At first he was quite excited but by Tuesday after breakfast he requested no egg in his lunch. Which in itself is telling.
Some things I noticed, the shiners got dark again, he had some difficulty falling asleep, but with the change of school and seasons I am not putting too much weight on that. The thing that really stunk (pun intended) were some of the gastrointestinal side effects. That boy was stinky by Tuesday. I took him back off eggs Wednesday and then let him have one this morning to see if anything changes. The other thing that I noticed was Tuesday night. We were reading story and he kept squirming around and scratching, I took back the covers and realized that an eczema patch had flared up. He seemed to have had some level of reaction to eggs, but the thing is he would never eat two a day normally. So, like Kelly mentioned, we may be able to have eggs as long as we keep it under his sensitivity threshold.
Saturday we start with wheat. I'll keep ya posted!
