[QUOTE="Josie, post: 202319, member: 1792"] in my humble opinion, taking the cereal is not a big deal. He is supposed to be on a very restrictive diet and there is tempation around him all the time. He is probably going to cheat on it at times. When he does, he is probably going to lie about it so he doesn't get in trouble. I will admit I am extremely angry when my child cheats because then I have to deal with her behaviour for a few days. She also never admits it. I only know because of the way she acts or one of her friends says something. I've been on the girlfriend diet for 2 1/2 years and never willingly eat something with gluten in it. However, a few times I have accidentally had some. Something about the gluten in food makes it very addictive to me. I bought some cookies that were gluten free but something about them made them irresistable to me. I ate half of the box at once. Then I had my gluten symptoms and noticed the box said there might be traces of wheat. There was nothing special about those cookies to make them irresistable. It had to be the wheat in them. This is not the only time this has happened to me with something that later gave me symptoms. I don't cheat because I turn into an irritable, angry person when I have gluten so I am not tempted. One of my daughters does cheat and also turns into an irritable, angry person. She has trouble resisting even though she knows what will happen. I can only hope she will be less tempted when she is older. I would guess his stomach ache and headache are related to the gluten in the cereal. I agree with having natural consequences take their course. Sometimes, I add another consequence to reinforce the idea that when difficult child 1 is an adult, she can't just eat whatever she wants and then go to work late or not at all if she is sick. For example, I would be so annoyed at having to make a separate trip that I would have her do an extra chore to make up for my time. I'm sorry you are dealing with the underwear stealing again.
