So after reviewing everything again we decided Megan's "gluten detox" was way too similar to a reaction so we dug deeper in our investigation of her new bread and it turns out she was in a full-blown reaction. One of the grains in her bread actually turns into salicylates when it is digested! Unbelievable! We were seriously overdosing her.
Yesterday was the first day without any of the bread and she did better last night. She was awake for 4.5 hours and slept in until she had gotten 8.5 total hours of sleep. This is huge progress from the previous night.
Despite the lack of sleep she continued to do really well during the day. She has been saying new words, playing by herself, asking to have her picture taken and laughing. She has been playing with Sam more and more and just doing really well. It is very obvious that her body was struggling to digest the gluten and she feels so much better when she is not eating it. I can't wait to see how she feels when it is finally all out of her body.
