Hello My name is Dori! I'm new to this group and to this diet. We actually

haven't officially started the diet. I'm going to pick up my book today. I just

have to wait till my grocery money comes and then I'm putting my whole family on

the diet. My husband and I feel it'll be more successful if we're just all

eating the same things. We have 5 children who are 7.5, 6, 4, 18 months, and 7

wks. Our 6 year old has encopresis possibly the 4 yr old as well. Our 18 month

old has a dairy allergy and potentially more that we're still trying to figure

out. I myself have a lot of illnesses (bipolar, PTSD, neurocardiogenic syncope,

asthma, Raynaud's phenomenon, IBS) and think it couldn't hurt to have us all

try the diet out. So far our children seem open to the change. I hope it stays

that way. I was wondering what other people do when they visit at other people's

houses. Do you take your own food with you? Do you only eat at home? My children

and I often go over to my parents home in the

evening while my husband goes to work so they can help me out (because of my

illnesses) and also just because the children enjoy it. I've already told my

parents about our plans to begin this diet so they sound open to it. The problem

I see is more in the potential for my children to want to eat illegal foods that

they have at their house. They often times like to share a Little Debbie with

grandpa for instance! I was wondering if someone who's been in a similar

situation could give me some advice on how to deal with those issues? Any other

suggestions on transitioning on to the diet would also be welcome? Thanks so

much!

Dori
