<3 Writing through past things is a beautiful challenge. I hope you're finding release.
Tonsil stones are very painful. I'm sorry your son is dealing with that (or something like that). Dairy allergy is pretty common. It's a frustrating one, too, because dairy is everywhere!
Isn't it amazing/irritating how the body image/eating issues sort of pop back up? I had been in the clear for many years before the last relapse, and I am still struggling to stay on track with eating, quite honestly.
I hit the one year mark (the first time EVER that I've stuck with something that long) and some huge shift happened and I started struggling with every.damn.thing.
It's very irritating. I thought maybe I'd just outgrown it. Of course I'm ALSO writing through old stuff and 'clearing out' things as well, so that probably isn't helping.
He eats plenty of dairy anyway, but has recently really upped his dairy consumption. He won't like the idea that it could be aggravating his repeat tonsil issues, but he's frugal enough to probably try it to avoid doctors!
It's worth a shot. My life was changed forever by omitting dairy. Like coming out of a fog into the sun.
