Help...DAN Dr. says no sugar[long]

[Guest guest]

Today we had our first appt. with a DAN Dr. He asked questions that

NO dr. has ever asked and he looked noticed things about my son that

NO dr. has ever noticed.

After the exam, he stated that he wanted us off of all refined

sugar as well as gluten and casein. We've been gfcf for 3 months

with small improvements. He also ordered an organic acid test and

gave us supplements to take. I met with the nutritionist, but all I

could think was...no more wonderful Ms. Robens Choc. Chip Cookies, no

more great cocoa crispie treats...I finally have this down to a

system with lunches and snacks and have managed to bake treats that

my son actually loves. Now I have to find no sugar subs. Is anyone

on a gfcf and no sugar or low sugar diet? I can really use some

ideas. I went cold turkey on the gfcf part, and I have such a good

kid that it was met with very little resistance. This will be hard,

but everything this dr. said was astounding. He likened the gut

brain issue to fuel in a car. His analogy was that you don't put

lousy fuel in a Porche, but we're taking these kids and putting food

in them that is treated with chemicals. We're immunizing them with

vaccines that could be lethal and we're exposing them to toxins that

could comprimise their already oversensitive systems. I walked out

overwhelmed, but determined that I'm doing the right thing.

That said, I hope you will provide some much appreciated advise

about the best way to remove sugar. I sure wish I'd known about this

when my son was 2. Now I have a 10 year old that is addicted to

sweets. Please feel free to email me if you like, and I would be

happy to share the other details of the drs. visitas well. Please

excuse the length of this post and thank you all for keeping me sane!
