My youngest daughter

My youngest has suffered from migraines for the last several years. We have tried everything, increasing her fluid intake, using natural supplements like fever few. Took her to the doctor, she was thinking due to her age, that it could be hormone related. She was then put on some meds like a bedtime muscle relaxer and phenergan to control the nausea during the migraines.

The summer after my discovery of being gluten intolerant, after lots of researching about gluten intolerance, we decided to put her on a gluten free diet as well. It wasn't that much of a difference for us anyways, since by now I had eliminated anything with gluten in my home already. Her only exposure to gluten was her school meals. During 2013 summer just eating my cooking, her migraines went away!!  In the first part of July she was babysitting a friends children for a week, while he went to work. over there she ate all kinds of items that had gluten, like pizza's pastas, breads. by the second and third day she was back having migraines again. At that point she choose to never eat those items again.

She's just like me, we both miss those old foods we used to eat. Every once in a while she will get in the mood that it isn't fair, she wants to eat like everyone else, but then I remind her of how she felt during that week of babysitting. She still misses those foods, but always decides to not eat them. I'm very proud of her, cause I know how hard it is to pass up those foods.
