Ryan had been doing great! His ADD had been all but
gone, and his back hadn’t hurt in months. Raisins have been in our diet, and
for some reason he thought, what are a few extra raisins? Which turned into
more and more and more and more over the period of a month. I mentioned that I
thought he was eating too many raisins, and he brushed me off. Then I mentioned
it again, with no effect. Gazillions of raisins were the only change in his diet.
The consequences? Ryan’s back has been hurting like
crazy and his brain is less sharp. Needless to say, he is off the raisins. It
is obvious that he has not fully healed his gut, or he would not have craved
and eaten so many raisins with such crummy results. It will be interesting to
see how long it takes for his body to be pain free. He will have to rid himself
of the bad stomach critters that were fed by the raisin overload. Here is a
case where even too much natural sugar can be a bad thing.
The real downer is that we were just getting ready to reintroduce
our favorite sourdough bread (fermented the old school German way), but we will
wait for him to heal. I am guessing it will take about two weeks.
Sigh…
