Re: questions - lotsa questions

Holly,

That was me, Janelle, not , but they rhyme so that's better

than I usually do with names.

I don't have a DAN dr. I would guess maybe 1/4 of us do? What do you

all think? Not that I won't some day, but right now, not. I journal

everyday. We've been gfcf since July. It is getting easier to narrow

down what things bother my daughter once you get into the diet and

start limiting the additives, colors, etc. they are eating. I don't

think I really noticed a withdrawal. I am sure there was something,

it just wasn't horrible enough for me to remember off hand. Have you

found www.gfcfdiet.com?

Some kids scream and tantrum, but mine just wanted to eat anything

everything everywhere all the time, even inedible objects. This

lasted for about 3 months.

My children are also celiac, so forever for gluten, possibly they can

have casein later in life.

I have never consulted with a DAN doctor. I have a nutrition manual

here at home that I use, plus the internet.

I give enzymes if my kids get any " bad foods " , and sometimes when I

LET them have " bad foods " , so they do not get " behaviors " most of the

time, altho sometimes my son will stim for the next two days after the

infraction, but nothing more than that.

I did for the first year, VERY helpful!
