I do not envy you. My youngest had a variety of allergies that included some combination of dairy, soy, eggs, and gluten. It wasn't until we eliminated all four of them from her (i.e. my wife's) diet that she was able to properly digest food and put on weight. Even after she stopped breastfeeding, it took her 17 months before she would sleep through the night, because so many foods went straight through her and she would wake up an uncomfortable mess in the middle of the night. The good news is, she outgrew most of her allergies by about age three. Wheat/gluten took her until about five. The day that wheat pasta returned to my life was a glorious day in the history of my fatherhood. They can make a lot of decent gluten-free foods, but pasta is just not one of them.
this is my second favorite entry yet - your LIverpool fan origin story was amazing and I meant to leave a detailed response but, you know, LIFE and also DEPRESSION - sorry for all the pain that initiated the writing of it
I literally do cocktail commissions as a side hustle, so while I don't have any breast milk on hand, I can fuck around with some pro bono stuff (dairy free or not!) to help you and the missus unwind and / or potentially sleep
You, sir, are a warrior. Thanks for not mentioning Spurs.
Dear gawd, man. I don't even know what to say. I'm sorry? I mean, does that actually help in cases like this?
I'm sorry.
Also, West Ham are massive. Thanks.
