Gluten free & BMs

A friend of mine was telling me that she suffered from constipation for a long time. Then she figured out she was allergic to gluten. Since she's gone gluten free, she's had regular BMs. (You see why I'm leaving this anonymous "a friend" - like she would want the blog world to know about her BMs)

I'm considering trying this for Will since he has such bad constipation problems, all though I don't have any reason to believe he has an allergy to it... just curious if anyone else has had this experience OR if any mito friends know squat about how this may or may not affect him.

I sent a query over to his doctor and her nurse said that gluten free won't hurt Will, but to remember that he likely has BM/constipation problems because he has slow motility because of the Mito. Which is very true. But perhaps incorporating some gluten free foods into our diet will help with the motility.

Any good website suggestions for gluten free foods / recipes?

On the BM front, our little pooper has had THREE days of daily BMs! I can't tell you the last time that has happened. On Sunday it was from a suppository, then he had BMs on his own at school in the potty - no accidents. Seriously, I can't remember the last time he's been this consistent. I think it's a good sign that he's really turned the corner from being sick recently. At least that's what I'm hoping. Plus, I started a new BM "treatment" - I'm alternating miralax and L-Reuteri. Maybe that's actually doing some good.


I really need to download more pictures off the camera... this was from Christmas. They love playing in Tom's truck!
