My son is 12 and has been vegetarian for 2 1/2 years...fortunately he will at the very least try anything that is put in front of him.

My daughter is grade 8 and turning 14 in a month. She has missed more days off school in the current school year than the rest combined and it is nuts. My kids were sandwiches 5 days a week kids, and my son still is, but through the summer they hardly touch them. Once my daughter entered grade 8 they had a microwave in the classroom and she started using that to have leftovers for lunch a day or two a week and sandwiches the rest of the time. She was so ill almost daily. I always knew she had a sensitivity because you can visibly see her bloat up after eating gluten but she never complained of pain or nausea and I always stuck with complex ancient grains like kamut etc which she seemed good with. I think because she was close to GF over the summer and then had this sudden onslaught of sandwiches it hit her like a ton of bricks. I eliminated the gluten and wheat and voila, totally better. I actually think she has a wheat intolerance not gluten because she can have rye and barley and I buy GF oats anyway. GF is easy to accommodate these days.

I need to eat an anti-inflammatory diet and if I don't it's a viscous cycle for me. I don't eat well because I'm tired and run down. I'm tired and run down because I don't eat well...and so it goes. I have endo so dairy causes me chronic pain. and its getting progressively worse meaning gluten and refined sugars irritate me....even wine...which is criminal :-(
