Gluten/Dairy free

My boys are officially gluten/dairy free and have been for a few months.  Now that summer is coming I plan to transition them into a grain, sugar free diet.  I'm curious to see if they will eat more veggies once I do this.  The transition was not hard at all.  I told D that I think this diet will help him with his speech and he never once questioned the new diet.   I suppose he really is having a hard time with people not understanding him, the poor guy.  The diet has helped with his speech a bit but more then that I have noticed that he seems to comprehend things better.  He has been struggling with colors and has finally caught on.  A week ago we went out of town and I broke down and let him have a sandwich with wheat and cheese (it's hard to adhere to the diet when you don't have a fridge or appropriate grocer).  Anyhow, I noticed that he is struggling with his colors again.  I find that very interesting. 
I plan to diary our findings as we move along.
