Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 I can answer 2 of your questions- the EnerG egg replacer contains citric acid derived from corn, there is no soy connection that I know of. Clariton redi-tabs are gluten and casein free, but only the redi-tabs are. I hope this helps. Also for margarine, you might try coconut butter, you can get it from Miss Robens.

But it seems no matter how much I learn about this diet there is always another layer that has be decoded and memorized. Quite frankly, my brain feels as if it is on overload and spinning out of control. > My daughter has been CF since the end of Sept. 2000 and GF since Oct., I discovered in Jan, 2001, that Soy is also a problem. We are now working on taking out corn and eggs (oh, what fun we are having). She is also off all food dyes, nitrates and sulfates (Spell?).. and finally here are my questions: > > 1. With milk, soy, and corn being a problem what do you use for butter/marg? > I have heard of Ghee and purchased a jar --but I think this may be a problem --I will have to test it again to make sure, but if it is a problem are there other alternatives? > > 2. I would also like to know what the conversion rate is with Ghee in case I can use it. > > 3. I use Ener G's egg replacer -- I think I read somewhere that one of the ingred. is derived from Soy. Does anyone know this for sure -- if so, what ingred. is it? I called Ener G to confirm one way or another and they were unaware of the possible soy connection. > > 4. Does anyone know if the Claritin Reditabs are GFCF? If not, does anyone know where I can find out? > > 5. Has anyone had better results using Brainchild over SNT?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 My daughter takes Brainchild and I think it's great. We tried her on TMG but saw increased aggression and hyperactivity. She does much better on DMG. This is not true for every child, though; lots of them do great on TMG. I used to give her folic acid (1600) a day; it seemed to make the hyperactivity worse, so I lowered the dose until I finally stopped giving it altogether, and she seems fine. I can't give her the vitamins after 4 PM though or she is up really late. My doctor suggested lemon balm to help calm her down and this has seemed to work. I think those are the only questions I can help with - good luck! Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
