Point of Clarification

Just to make it clear, we are not doing the full intro on GAPS.  In fact, we're even cheating on the full GAPS a smidge, if you will.  I think the intro diet is a great idea.  I'd love to do it.  I just was too chicken to deal with the fallout of 3 people de-toxing all at once on this crazy diet while still needing to function through the rest of life. Scared stiff.  Yeah, that's a better description.
Still, I think it is having good results overall. So, we've been eating all home-made food.  Roasts, chicken, oodles of veggies.  Yogurt (which is really more SCD--semantics), sauerkraut, kombucha and some kefir are the source of most of our probiotics.  I need to go hit up the butchers in the area for bones so I can start my broth making operation.  And what do I see?  M did not fall apart as much this weekend as I thought he would.
See, last week I had to clear out his room of extraneous distractions. Such as his toys and MP3 player.  Oy, that was dramatic.  Today, when he wanted to know if he could have his MP3 player back and I said no, he didn't complain hardly at all.  Coulda fainted!
Hubby is  feeling pretty icky today, and I'm hoping its just the toxins moving through.  Hopefully he start feeling better tomorrow.  I think I'm doing a bit better, but it's hard for me to judge my own behavior accurately.
We went ahead and tasted the kombucha today.  The kids loved it.  It is still pretty sweet, which probably means the SCOBY didn't eat all the sugar.  Ooops,.  But that did make them want more.  G is already my kombucha kid, it's just M I need to get on board.  And he and I have been talking about how if he would decrease the pickiness a bit, the diet would be easier.  The biggest challenge I have with him, is getting him to eat more fats.  I'm sure it will get better.
Tomorrow, I need to make new menus and grocery lists.  Oooh boy.
I almost forgot to tell you about dinner.  Yummy.  I realized that one of the kids favorite ways to eat fish is GAPS legal.  And easy!  We put a couple of salmon or steelhead fillets in the pan, sprinkle them with salt and a curry blend and pour coconut milk over it.  Cover and simmer until done.  It is just the right amount of creamy.  For the veggies, we had carrot slaw.  Homemade mayo with shredded carrots, some cinnamon and a few raisins.  And I whipped up some guacamole real quick as it was a very yellow meal otherwise.  ;-)
