Just wanted to give an update:
My oldest, Chanel, is sticking to a gluten free diet and is doing well on it. We have even found that quite a few restaurants have gluten free pasta, you have to ask, because it may not even be on the menu.
The youngest, Tyne, has a more difficult time with a MSG free diet. We Have researched and formed a long list of all the hidden MSG ingredients in foods and it is a lot. Pretty much all processed foods have it in one form or another. She has been preparing her meals from scratch, which is better for her any way. So she has not been sick since she has meticulously removed MSG from her diet. We had determined that restaurants have a lot of MSG in there food, but she can go to the ones if you know they use fresh ingredients and just be careful in ordering. She just has to avoid it as much as she can and seems to be doing all right so far.
So things are not so bad. When you're in the middle of a health crisis you tend to get worried and fretful, but we always need to remember worry will never solve anything. Thanks for all your prayers, advice and suggestions, it was all very helpful.
mercy, peace and love
