Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi, My daughter, 15 months old and myself are both on the diet. I started her on the diet this fall because she was head banging and developing slowly in motor skills, and had poor food digestion. I was too trusting of our family doctor who suggested to start her on rice ceral at 4 months. That is when the problems began. Anyways, in the beginning back in Oct./NOv. I saw great improvement but over christmas she was sick with the flu and we are back to non-sleeping a lot of nights and many days she can't nap at all and just screams in her crib. Any suggestions to improve sleep while we try to get back on track other than the baths before bedtime. Poor thing just seems so over- stimulated and worn out at the same time. Would any supplements help? Vitamins that are appropriate for 15 month old? mary- scd-2 yrs for IBS- daughter-martha scd for 3 months-diet; is eating eggs,turkey burgers,chicken soup, chicken, beef burger cut in small pieces; ( carrotts, french style green beans, squash,apple sauce all veggies and fruit are blended, frozen, & crushed up so my daughter can feed her self. She has 15 teeth already. I'm still nursing her as well. I haven't started her on vitamins; I've given her a little cow's yougart before christmas but it caused stuffyness. I may try her on goat's yougart next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 ---Hi Marilyn, No, Martha hasn't had the IgG blood testing. I'm not familiar with it; is it accurate for food sensitivities or intolerances and is it done by ped's or allergists or alternative medicine dr's? thanks for your help, mary scd 2 yrs mom to martha 15 months, scd since Nov.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi Jody, Martha was on antibiotics for a couple of days christmas week.; her sleeping went from bad to worse at that time. The liquid suspension solution was loaded with sugar...long story. Once I found out, I took her off antibiotics, 2 days later, had her re-evaluated; 2nd dr. said ear wasn't infected but just red from allergies and fluid from allergies. Told us to elevate her matress and get vaporizor. I did those things & I refused to give her any allergy meds knowing it would most likely make things worse. She seems better..less stuffy; however, most nights are frequent night wakings with lots of screaming & naps where she just can't fall asleep. It is similar to what she went thru pre-scd with the sleep. thanks for your help, mary-scd-2yrs mom to martha, 15 months, scd since nov. In pecanbread , " Jody G.
