Re: Off GFCF HELP PLEASE!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My son Jack has been GFCF for almost 2 years now, and because we saw no

changes with the diet we decided in January to challenge it. However, right

around that time Jack ended up getting really sick (horrible sinus infection)

and became lethargic and mellow and refused to eat. We put him back on the

diet because we didn't know at first what was going on. After a few weeks

the sinus infection cleared up and he was back to his old happy, active self

again.

Anyway, we just decided to reintroduce gluten and casein again. About 2

weeks ago we added dairy into Jack's diet for one week - no changes. Then

last week we added gluten. Again, no negative changes. However in the last

few days he's refused to eat anything, even his beloved Mc's fries and

he is very mellow and sad seeming again. (Now he's a huge kid for 3 1/2

years old - 56 lbs, so I am not too concerned about him losing weight) he

just seems so mellow and sad. I am not sure if he is not feeling well

(spring allergies are horrible right now and he is congested) or if it is the

diet. I just have never heard of any child having a reaction like that,

don't most kids WANT the foods they couldn't have and aren't most kids

affected by being more hyper or aggressive???? Jack won't eat ANY foods and

is just MELLOW - so unlike him.

Needless to say I am getting very worried and would just like to hear some

other opinions on what might be going on.

Thanks so much in advance!

-HI

My son always wanted the gluten and casein in the beginning ,

but now he does not want it... He tells me it doesn't make him feel

so good... Maybe that is what is happening to your son.. MY son

tells me, " It makes me sick " ... Maybe your son is afraid to

eat .. for fear of becoming ill. I notice this with my son ... He

checks it out his food really good and he asks me if it is ok... I

would go back to the diet and see if he starts feeling better again.
