I'm going to tread lightly here and just share what I'm going through today. My youngest child, my son, is dealing with similar symptoms to mine and I want to transition him to a Paleo diet. My husband agrees - sort of.
He recognizes that my son has health challenges,but thinks that I'm being unreasonable in presenting my son with a 2 week Paleo challenge. He thinks that I should, instead, give him healthier options (what kinds of options he didn't elaborate on). My son is currently dairy free, but really loves his carbs. Just yesterday, he ate two donuts for breakfast (store bought), and then Wheat Thins, cheese and ranch dressing for lunch. The only paleo meal he had was dinner - and the only meal that didn't give him terrible stomach pain :(
My husband doesn't eat Paleo, except for dinner and occasionally lunch, and probably never will. I've never expected him to eat the way I do, but I really wish he could see that the benefits could outweigh the costs.
Do any of you deal with non-Paleo spouses and trying to get your kids/teens to eat in a more healthy way?
