I wrote this post awhile ago and shared it elsewhere but I wanted to update it and share it on here. Since the original post we’ve also realized that Raeca is at a minimum lactose intolerant and possibly just straight up dairy sensitive. I’m planning on taking her to a naturopath in the next few months and getting a few tests done and doing some elimination diets so expect some updates in the future! (I’m also planning on getting myself tested too, I’ve been meaning to do that since my Crohn’s diagnosis to see if there are other foods I should avoid.)

Shortly after Jared was diagnosed with celiac disease 3 years ago we started to wonder if Raeca had some degree of a gluten sensitivity. Research shows that if someone is diagnosed with celiac there is a 1 in 20 chance a close relative also has it.
