It started out rough but it did get better. After Shawn woke up from his nap, I got him to eat 3/4 of a banana. At lunch, I fixed him a plate of chicken and carrots and cut the chicken pieces really small so he wouldn't hardly have to chew but it still didn't work. He had a really tough time with the chicken. I made him something a little different today. I fried a banana cut into pieces in some coconut oil and then drizzled with honey. Shawn liked it but wanted cinnamon on it so I put some on and he was happy and ate it. So far, only about 1 1/2 bananas and a few small pieces of chicken in him. I was a little worried at this point. I decided I was going to make him some chicken pancakes. I just pureed some of the cooked chicken we had with an egg and fried it in some coconut oil. I gave it to Shawn but he said he didn't like it. I asked him if he would eat it if I put some honey and cinnamon on it and he said yes (I watered down the honey). He ended up eating 3 of them! Joshua had one also and seemed to like it. Shawn even asked if he could have more for dinner! For dinner, I pureed chicken, carrot, and egg and fried it in the coconut oil. He wasn't happy at first but I told him to at least try it. At first he said it was yucky but then when I told him that there wasn't any more chicken and he would have to eat something else, he said he was just kidding and proceeded to eat 6 of them.
As for our reactions: Don said he's been sleeping better since we started on the diet. He also said that he's been peeing a lot more. I've had a headache for the past two days along with the tongue gunk. I haven't seen much change in Joshua except for the fact that he's starting to eat a little better. Shawn on the other hand has had the most die-off of us all. Besides throwing up this morning and then taking a nap, he just looked like crap for most of the day and just laid around watching t.v. Then after the first batch of chicken pancakes, he had some hyper activity going on. Almost the same as when he had the milk but without the disobedience part. I'm not sure if it was die-off or a reaction to either the honey or cinnamon or if it was just because he finally had some food in his belly and it gave him a burst of energy. He didn't seem to react as bad after dinner so I don't think it was a reaction to the food. I'll keep an eye out because I have a feeling that chicken pancakes are going to become a staple in Shawn's diet.

YOu are doing awesome Karen. It definitely sounds like die-off. Grace went through horrible die-off last week with vomiting and diarrhea...I think it was because we added kefir to the diet. Keep up the good work and I'm glad to hear Shawn ate.
