Re:Lots of pain

[Guest guest]

Marla,

You don't say how long your daughter has been on the diet for but

this could be die-off symptoms (supposed to occur around 2-4 months,

6-8 months and 10-12 months). With both my die-off periods at 3 and 6

months I had some intermittent stabbing pains and just generally felt

completely drained. You may have some relief by putting her back on

the intro diet for a few days and then re-introducing foods slowly.

This is just a suggestion of what might be going on. I am sure other

group members might be able to suggest other causes.

Regards,

the one I have because I've found that placing food on an oven safe

plate on the top shelf of my oven, and pre-heating the oven to 350F,

then turning it off, heats the food far more evenly and completely

than any microwave. I also have a toaster oven for re-heating small

stuff.
