Interesting piece

For those who have read my blog in the past, know that I go back and forth with the GF/CF diet and of course the risky business that is chelation. There was in interesting article in our local newspaper about a chelation research that has been called because of the dangers it could pose to children. You can read it here if you wish.
I'm still not sold on this whole idea. After speaking to the gastro specialist, he isn't sold on it either so I'm still stuck where I'm stuck. Again, Wes is making such wonderful progress almost daily, that to throw this at him makes me uneasy. I will say that I tried giving him Van's Gluten Free Waffles and after much gagging, he threw them up. I'm not going to force him to eat them because they might help. It's not worth it in my eyes.
