Re: Starting diet

[Guest guest]

Janice, we took a little at a time out of Evan's diet. He was 6 yo old and

I wanted it to be easier for both of us BUT if you went cold turkey a couple

of weeks ago and your child is adapting well, I would not go back to gluten

just to take it out slowly. You should be over any big withdrawals by now,

IMHO.

I've talked about this in the past. I took Austin off Gluten and Casien at

the same time. At the time, I wasn't on the list and really had no idea

what I was doing. I also started him on Super Nu Thera vitamins -- full

strength dosage. I now know that you are supposed to start out with 1/4

dosage.

He survived it all but his withdrawal was awful. He was verbal prior to the

diet but became non-verbal about 1 week into the diet. He was in such a

daze that he walked off a jungle gym at the park and broke his arm. Because

of the way he was acting, his PT asked me if he had a injured his head. He

didn't hurt his head -- it was withdrawal. He did get through it.

I don't think I would re-introduce gluten now.

Wishing you the best.

I went cold turkey because I couldn't wait to do them seperately. It probaly

was an overload on his system in the beginning but I was very impatient.

After the first two weeks things started to calm down and I started to see

big changes. I guess it all depends on the person but it might be better to

do one thing at a time.

Hi Janice, I did both with in three days, I had no

computor and no guidance and was desperate. The

changes I saw were immediate and so positive, that my

son gave little resistance to the changes he liked the

way he felt- he said day three " I remember how to

play this way! " We are also now corn free and nitrate

free. It is very had to be free anything and as far

as withdrawl goes I bet there are still a zillion

sources that you have not discovered yet that will

ease the withdrawl, I would watch for any instant

craving and cross-examine the ingredients with the

list. Good luck.
