Mandy,

Refresh us please. How long has he been on the diet? This could be " die

off. "

You *could* see him experience die-off for numerous weeks, off and on. It

doesn't all happen in the first seven days and then " all is well " . It really

depends on the state of his gut.... and the extent of bacterial overgrowth.

On the other hand, if he was doing fine with the squash.... then you added

banana and he is whiney.... if you feel the banana is bothering him, take it out

again and see if things return to where he was. Try banana again later. Some

things he can't tolerate now may be tolerated later, once his gut has had a

chance to truly heal. This takes time, though.

Today is two weeks. He will act fine for a while then get really

cranky and impatient about things. His eye contact is not as good as

it was either. He is also eating ALOT!

Mandy,

This certainly sounds like die off. Please keep us posted in the next

few days. Often around here " the storm comes before the calm. "

Did you make the pumpkin pie filling according to the pecanbread

recipe? It calls for a lot of honey, is it possible he was reacting

to that - especially if he ate a lot of it. Had he had honey before?
