Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 , Hi its , LJ is doing fantastic with this diet. He is on it 14 months and in that time has improved eye contacy, is now reading very very well, easy math and easy spelling and printing. He is on no meds, does take a daily multi vite. He does ABA, but will be transitioning out in late Sept. to a non ABA class., as he now does dittos, work books, etc. LJ is 6 1/2 years old. YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION WAS TO SEE IF THOSE doing well were on a strict rotation diet. LJ is not on any rotation. He is 100% GFCF, also no pork, peanuts, & cashews. Rice and banana he only gets 2x a month, soy and chocolate 1x a month, with confusion in between!!!!!!!! As to your question as to why some succeed and some do not, I truly know that all kids are different, but I do believe that you also can't allow for these slip ups and just pop an exzyme and hope for the best (I know I am heading for people replys now), but I have gone as afr as I have no reg, bread in my house, only GFCF bread as to not cross contam. wityh my toaster. Only gfcf snacks and cookies and cakes to avoid all this too. I call up manufac. and ask about cross contam. of their product. I don't eat out with LJ at all, only 2x in these 14 months, and I bought his ENTIRE MEAL AND BEV. with me. Now we go on picnics together. I also eliminated ALL artificial colors, artificial flavors and preservatives form his diet. I have such a variety of foods, meals planned, desserts baked, etc. that he doesn't miss any of these things that is eliminated. Sorry, if I rambled, just giving my opionion. on Long Island New York * ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2001 Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 : One of the best things about your post are that you speak from the heart, openly and honestly even if criticism is around the corner. The rotation diet is not for everyone, each child acts and reacts to things differently and we must do what is best for our kids since we know them the best. I have eliminated all of the possible cross contamination issues with our family by introducing the zero tolerance order. Everyone eats the same food, if you don't like it go out and get your own food. I am not a short order cook and the GFCF food is good once you have been cooking for a while and it won't kill you. Some of my friends are doing the rotation diet and go crazy trying to remember the third thursday of the month is this food and the second tuesday of the month is this. That is not for me. For the people that are doing the rotation diet, I have this question for you. How many foods do your children have? It seems that our kids only like a small percentage of foods, chicken, fries, etc. So how do you do it? Thanks for taking the time to respond.
