We are reasonably certain that the bad flare up was the result of getting a hold of an illegal food. The flare subsided after several days back on the intro diet, which our 4 year-old seemed quite tired of by the end of day 2. We've noticed that his face is more pale and that he doesn't have much energy lately. He's also fairly irritable (more than his usual irritable self). We're thinking that blood loss during the flare caused some anemia and are going to have his blood drawn this week to verify.
We're toying with different ideas for food and symptom journals. We kept an online food journal for a while but it got to be a hassle. It would be nice to have something portable and quick... I know, a pen and a notebook work - but I analyze data for a living and want something e-accessible.
I'm going to play with this offshoot of Twitter:

It doesn't totally fit, but it's not bad.
