Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Not to throw any discouragement in, but this didn't help my oldest son. He was a wild child, always in motion and constantly talking too. Lots of trouble at school. I read the book and was very hopeful, and my doctor agreed. We did all the testing, but that apparently wasn't Jordan's problem. We eventually put him on Ritalin and saw a big difference. Not perfect, but so much better that he could function at school and otherwise. I do know others who did improve with diet change, though, so I pray it helps Kit. Shari yes...the kids in the case studies responded pretty dramatically to diet changes > > > Is the Doris Rapp book and old book--like from the 70's? I think I do have that one...need to break it back out and see what it says. I probably need to really " bite the bullet " and look at diet. All three of us (Mac, Kit, me) eat terrible and I don't cook and we are probalby all suffering from our bad habits one way or another. > Thanks, Kathy.>> ---------- Original Message ----------------------------------> > Reply-To: DownSyndromeInfoExchange > Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:35:25 -0500>>>Jill, you have checked out Kit's diet and possible allergens,right?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Are there specific tests they can do upfront to see if dietary changes will make a difference or to tell if it would be likely or is it all just a matter of trial and error and wait and see?
