What sugar does to my kid.



This is Gage about an hour after eating about 10-15 Skittles he got for Easter. It was accompanied by wild crazy behavior and lots of whining and tantrums! He also had the same reaction yesterday after eating a small snack size pack of skittles. We have really kept Gage away from large amounts of sugar but with Easter we let him indulge. I think the Easter Bunny needs to bring just toys next year! This is just not good for him.

Matthew used to get face rashes like that...I never figured out which food caused it! Yes, since M didn't eat any of the candy we got him, next year will be just small toys! :)

Red cheeks can be from so many things. It can be yeast (which sugar feeds), from phenol intolerance, or from food dyes, or from a simple food intollerance. Gage used to have them much worse before we went GFCF but obviously we have not removed all the culprits!
