He will eventually grow out of it.<BR/><BR/>At least that's what I keep telling myself about my 5 year old boy -- but I look at his older brother, and <I>he</I> mostly outgrew it! (Pre-teens have different, more insidious ways of driving you crazy... if you come through motherhood sane, you haven't done your job properly.)miriamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339767447913960853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294304.post-64213620352092498102009-01-13T14:37:00.000-05:002009-01-13T14:37:00.000-05:00Time to switch your baking strategy to all parve a...Time to switch your baking strategy to all parve all the time.<BR/><BR/>I've never baked with butter, so i don't miss it, but it's just not worth it if it's going to ruin your (and Iyyar's) entire week for two cookies.<BR/><BR/>Earth Balance Buttery sticks and Smart Balance (regular) small tubs make good parve AND non-hydrogenated butter substitutes. <BR/><BR/>1 small tub is 15 oz -- roughly equivalent to 16 oz of sticks (ie 2) and I just substitute straight (I slice the block in half for 1 stick) and haven't noticed that one TBL making a huge difference.<BR/><BR/>But anyway, what LC said. Also, there's always the slim possibility that it's the dairy AND something else, but hopefully not, and it really does sound like the dairy is the culprit -- just banish it from things worth sharing with him (like cookies) and hope it's enough!miriamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339767447913960853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294304.post-1321651091968783882009-01-13T11:46:00.000-05:002009-01-13T11:46:00.000-05:00I took him off dairy Thursday, so two weeks ago th...I took him off dairy Thursday, so two weeks ago this Thursday. By the following Tuesday it was like nothing had ever happened. The Cookie of Doom was Sunday, the day before yesterday. So we'll see, I guess.uberimmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241150570179494353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294304.post-35721964526428600282009-01-13T11:40:00.000-05:002009-01-13T11:40:00.000-05:00I really want to think that this is not mere coinc...<I>I really want to think that this is not mere coincidence and dairy is the culprit, because it's something that's relatively easy to manage. So why am I hearing him crying now?</I><BR/><BR/>Makes sense to me that it should be; if it messed with his insides, I could see it taking a few days to get all better, especially if everything is still irritated.<BR/><BR/>Don't 'dairy-free' diets need a full week to prove effectiveness? That seems to say it can take a week for someone's system to clear/heal itself. Good luck!LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628546442999250169noreply@blogger.com
