I have sent gluten free pizza and a dessert to parties and heard other kids saying, “Hey, why did she get the good stuff?” We have also been amazed at how many parents have gone out of their way to provide gf alternatives.

My oldest was the hardest to get to go gluten free, especially since he wasn’t sick like his sister, and he knew what he was missing out on, lol. But he came around quickly, and doesn’t fuss about it at all.

Everyone always asks me what I’m going to do when my other kids, who don’t get violently ill with gluten, become teenagers and want to eat “normal”. I figure we’ll cross that bridge when we get there…but at the very least, they’ll be armed with the awareness of how what they eat effects how they feel. They may cheat as teenagers, but I think they’ll come back to a healthier lifestyle as they mature.

Or they’ll just gorge themselves silly on McDonalds just to make me cringe,lol.
