Teeter Totter

 Matthew did another food challenge today. He has been a trooper in terms of these weekly events. He has shown so much courage and I’m so proud of him for being able to take these steps forward in spite of his fears. Unfortunately, today was yet another disappointment. He tested a full-size cake baked for 30 minutes at 350 degrees and while he didn’t react to one bite, he did react to a full piece.

There was been a lot of back and forth with these challenges. Sometimes he reacts and sometimes he doesn’t. We’re not sure why but we’re hoping by continuing the process we can get a better idea of what his reaction threshold is so that he can continue to add some new things to his diet. But it is a slow process and it’s definitely taking longer than any of us want.
