Re: Diet/and other frustrations -- To Robyn and Lynne

[Guest guest]

Hey ladies,

Sorry I didn't respond to your earlier replies to me. Somehow I missed them.

Anyway, thank you for your input. does seem a lot better now -- I think

he WAS just adjusting to the new medication. He still gets those red cheeks,

though, but I honestly don't think it's usually related to food. He will come

home from school with normal-looking cheeks, and then he starts playing a video

game, and within about 1/2 hour -- red cheeks. I think his heart rate goes up

with the excitement and he just gets flushed. I've noticed that when he does

eat a " forbidden " food, his cheeks *and EARS* immediately get red. When he's

playing, it's just his cheeks that do so, even though he hasn't eaten anything.

So I'm still more inclined to believe that the red cheeks are related to

excitement and not a food reaction.

I realize that Dr. G would probably disagree, but this is where I am for the

moment.

Thanks again,

Donna

diet for our kids? We have been doing it for 3 years now and I am growing

fatigued from it (and falling off the wagon). Of course, Dr. G says how

important it is, but when we occasionally " cheat " , we don't see any negative

results, until we gradually cheat more and more. Then I think, " Well, maybe

is one of those kids who does not need the diet " . Meanwhile, three

months go by and were wondering if the diet needs to be adjusted.

Hi There! Each week after a 2 hour socialization class my 5 year old would have

extremely red cheeks. He was never given a new food. I had a feeling it was an

exposure to something in the room and ended up snipping a piece of carpet and

bringing it to our NAET (allergy) doctor. She treated him for it and his cheeks

are not red anymore after class. He also has a similar situation with a

sensitivity to rubber mats when he was 3 years old. It may not be " carpet " but

could be a residual carpet cleaning solution. Hey, whatever works! Good luck.
