Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 , I am in starting the third week of the diet with my son, and I am finding the same thing. All he does is go to his chair at the table and want " bup " (up), his signal to eat. He was also been extremely unhappy, crying (and hitting - something he doesn't usually do), at the drop of a hat. I hope this wears off soon. Good luck.

First 6 months was normal, but now he eats so much I even was wondering if he had worms or something. He's only 6 years old and eats just as much as an adult at meals and is always asking for snacks non-stop. `` on Long Island New York * ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 All I know is that my son is doing the same. He has had a couple days when he slowed down, but generally he's been eating for close to three months now. I figure he's got to grow! Which is exactly what I'm waiting for.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 He may be trying to get his gluten and casein fix by eating everything in sight. He also may be really tasting food for the first time and enjoying all the different tastes and textures. My older son eats like he has a tapeworm when he's hitting a growth spurt too so that also may be part of the issue. Good luck with your food bills!
