Re: Re: 44 kids is crazy/re millk

Hi -

Regarding removing milk ... I wondered if you have

replaced it with a substitute? Occasionally some

changes can increase symptoms, but removing dairy

isn't always one of those things, unless there's a

problem w/the replacement. Soy proteins makes my son

very aggressive and hostile. Rice milk can sometimes

be reactive due to the whole grain rice ... I limit

mine to rice milk on cereal only because too much

seems to be a bad thing (circles under the eyes,

irritability).

Someone may have mentioned before ... we don't all

remove gluten entirely from our kids diets. In fact,

many gluten substitutes are more irritating to the

kids than simple plain white bread. We're tight and

limit grains and limit bread/carbs/big starches. I

did go GFCF for about 9 months until Dr G convinced me

it wasn't usually necessary and often potentially

negative to be gluten free. (I've heard of celiacs

reporting a big increase in allergies after going on a

gluten free diet, too.)

Anyway, always watch out for illness ... coincidence

often escapes me w/diet changes and I'll assume diet

changes are causing problems, only to find out that

they're sick.

If you're not keeping a diet-behavior log, that's the

best tool in the world when you're getting started.
