But, ugh, I'd have been so sick from all that sugar.

She already been fully tested. She doesn't have celiac. She basically has a leaky gut. An immature gut and part of why she was so little at birth and had stomach issues from birth... that the shortened version.. basically her body mimics many symptoms a celiacs would. Wheat amount other things is a big trigger..
It's something that over time we were told she could outgrow to some degree...
I'd love if we were there... I'm not sure.

BTW I'm not sure if this is right or not. DH and I decided.. While we'd like for her to keep gluten free longer she is also at an age where she is going to test things. She getting older and with more "real world" exposure and temptations to test her limits. That it might be time for her to (with guidance) test those waters. I also said if we do try to test how she does some of her exposure also needs to be in secret as reasons Ive brought up before..
So today we were doing some shopping and ended up at target around noon everyone was hungry.. I got her a single hot dog but gave her the choice of trying the bun with it. I know from previous try's she can do the hot dog it self without issues. She had a honest kids juice with it again I know its fine and an apple I brought from home.. safe.. She choose to try the bun was very excited...
Later she started complaining her tummy hurt
I asked her to describe it and she just says its like its all blown up. (gassy maybe?) latter at home she vomited some.. She for now says she doesn't want more gluten... So still kind of in limbo and wondering..
