Re: OCD and diet success/ Judy

[Guest guest]

Yeah!!!! All the aggravation with the diet is paying off. So glad

to hear this Judy. This is big. I have heard about this connection

from others but had not really heard a success story yet. I sure

hope it continues. You are overdue for some positive results!!!!

Are you going to try the probiotics? If there is compromised

intenstinal stuff going on this can be really helpful. I swear by

it, even my husband who doesn't do much of anything else this way

swears by it.

We did nystatin (drug) for candida years ago, eliminated wheat and

dairy and all kinds of diets etc. Think it may have helped things at

the time (pre OCD), but good luck now at 17... I asked what he

thought about trying to cut out bread for one day, said he'd rather

suffer! Ours eats bleached white bread now, and it kills me, just

know it can't be good...

So glad to hear some good news from you kiddo!

Hugs!

Judy,

Houston Enzymes are specifically formulated for autistic children and are

digestive enzymes that are supposed to make it so that children who are

sensitive to gluten/casein, etc can take the enzymes and they break down the

products and in many cases are more successful than the gluten/casein free

diet.  If she is resisting the diet, possibly this is an alternative?

you can do a google search on houston enzymes

I just ordered some to try on my younger daughter with adhd issues, which are

believe are food related.

Hi Barb,

Thanks,

My daughter is not happy about this diet.Believe me!!!!! My older daughter had

some friends over on Saturday night, and I had out some brownies and cookies.(I

also made special ones for her) and she snuck some of the cookies.

I'm finding it hard at school too.She was acting up last night, and I'm not sure

if she ate something, because now she will lie about it. I'm left wondering if

she ate something or it actually is not helping her behavior and she just had a

good spell. She has not had diarrhea since she started the diet(except for when

she had the cookie).but still nauseas.

I did try Activia yogurt, but there is something with her and dairy going on

also, I believe. Maybe I should try the nystatin. Is this over the counter?

We'll see what happens!!!!! !!!

Barb, did I read your son is not doing well again????

I hope not!!!!!!!

Hugs to you

Judy
