Jody,

We just got back from a quick trip to Lowes. My kids were just as crazy as

always. It is insanity living w/ them most of the time. Today is day four and

no improvement just losing the improved stools. I am very relieved that it

doesn't appear to be a phenol problem, but frustrated that we still don't know

how to help them (and us!). They will both be seeing Megson and Mumper in the

next two weeks so we will discuss this again. I really appreciate all your

help. I think this will be the last day for this experiment as I want to get

those carbs (SCD/LOD) back into their diet.

Thanks again!

If you've remove phenosl for 3 days already and you are not seeing a

decrease in the hyperactivity, my opinion would be that phenols are

NOT contributing to the hyperactivity.

From all of the moms I've seen post about phenols, the reaction is

quick and happens almost immediately after ingesting the phenolic

food. Red ears, red cheeks, crazy hyperactivity and often

inappropriate laughing (which lasts longer than the other symptoms).

But with it already being 3 days of no phenolic foods, to me it

doesn't appear that the behavior is related to phenols. Someone else

might have a different opinion.

I would really consider scheduling an in-office or phone consultation

with Dr. Mumper at this point. Hopefully, she will have some ideas

for you. Perhaps a supplement to try or she could run some tests to

see if she can find the source of the problem.

One thing is that a really restricted diet for more than a short-term

period, could easily cause vitamin and mineral imbalances. One thing

you will find in my history of posts is the constant reminder to feed

kids fruits and vegetables. I do my very best to come up with

creative ways to get the pickiest of eaters to expand their diets. I

am very concerned about the nutritional status of children with

extremely limited diets.

At this point, I think you need professional help. A nutritionist and

Dr. Mumper both perhaps.
