Raising Gluten-Free Kids by Kimberly
Parenting. I don't think most of us realize exactly how much becoming a parent will change every aspect of our lives. Few of us manage to have children, then gently glide back into everything without a ripple. Raising children rearranges our daily schedules, restructures priorities, adjusts how we view the world, and redefines the meaning of responsibility. What once used to be beer and pizza for dinner has morphed into wholesome meals for the family. Read more...

It seems like a lifetime ago when my son, Andrew, was beginning to show the indicators of autism. He was three, and the reality of it all was easily the most emotionally draining experience I've experienced. Something as simple as playing outside turned into hours of obsessing over fans, pinwheels and rituals. Days revolved around Andrew's obsessions, as did my life.

Leaky Gut by Andrew
It sounds awful, and microscopically it is. It's one of the reasons many of us become gluten-intolerant. So just what is leaky gut?
Leaky gut is still somewhat of a mystery, but simply put, it's when "something" has created microscopic holes in your digestive tract (stomach, intestines, etc) thereby allowing undigested proteins to enter the bloodstream where they become the enemy.
