RE: To We're Starving--It's worth it...

[Guest guest]

Hi--I felt just like you did the first two weeks--I even called my MOM and

just boo-hoo'ed over the whole thing. It's very hard to completely change

something up, and for me, it's hard to let yourself believe again that

something might work for your kid--you just don't want to get crushed again

when/if it doesn't. We've been through the entire DAN protocol and a

million specialists, homeopaths, etc., etc., etc...We've worked HARD for

over 7 years to find out what's wrong with my son--and yes, sometimes I want

to just say-- " Screw it--if he's going to feel bad anyway, he may as well be

able to eat SOMETHING he likes " (though I never have actually given him

something I knew he couldn't have). BUT, this has been different. We have

seen more improvement with this than anything else we've tried. Something

is wrong with this kid's digestive system, and no one knows what. When I

read BTVC, the research just seemed so sound, and I felt compelled to keep

at it. This site has helped b/c I got the tips about the ketchup in the

crockpot (another crying incident happened before I knew this, with my five

year old yelling-- " Mom the tomato sauce just exploded! " ), substitutions,

etc. It will get better. I hope you'll stick it out for a month and see

for yourself if there's a change. We are at the one month point in a day or

so, and the hyperactivity has decreased nearly 75%. I am impressed.

Please take care,
