{Just Call Us Hippies...}

Yes it's true...for the next 7-10 days our family will be going all organic (Not sure if Ryan is on board but the rest of us are). 
Brady is having digestive issues and has for a long time, I thought it was just HIM, but the more I talk with our pediatrician the more I am realizing I think his issues steam from diet. Not to say that we eat unhealthy, we're pretty good about eating fresh, eating fruits and vegis and taking our vitamins. But I'm thinking he has a lactose intolerance (which runs on my side of the family). I bought fresh everything and soy milk, (which costs a fortune, FYI)
I've been eating all organic for a while now (thats not to say I don't enjoy an occasional Big Mac because I do!)
But once I switched to organic my migraines went away, my aches and pains went away, my mood improved. I have more energy, more stag-ma, and best of all weigh what I weighed in Junior High.
I've been wanting to switch the family for some time now, but let's face it: eating organic is insanely expensive. But with my little guy having issues we need to do this.
So we're trying this for the next 10 days and we'll see where it gets us!

Have you tried lactose free milk? It is less expensive than soy, but only slightly more than regular. It tastes better than soy and regular in my oppinion.
