Re: looking for encouragement...

[Guest guest]

It would be helpful if folks answer this onlist, because we just

started intro today & I don't know what to expect with my 4,

especially my ASD son for whom nothing has really worked. I'd be

interested in hearing any stories, *especially* if they don't follow

the " typical " pattern. And I follow these kinds of threads so I can

keep watching my own as things happen & learn.

Thanks too,

Michele

nature.

not seeing anything. Still mushy stools in my 22mth old, still

constipation in my 9yr old ASD son, no improvements whatsoever in

his Aspergers behavior. We know that our 9yr old and 4.5 yr old

have high yeast (OAT test) yet there has not been any sign at all of

die-off. Is this doing anything at all for us????

> I am not looking for another analysis of our food and supplements;

several of you have been very helpful with that over the last few

weeks. What I need right now is to know...even if we are not seeing

*anything at all* is it possible that this is doing any good? It

has been a very long, expensive, emotionally exhausting 7 weeks, we

are really tired of the monotony of the very short list of food we

are eating, and to not have anything to show for it except for

weight loss is very very disheartening. We even did two days of

intro this past week (except we didn't use carrots this time; one of

my kids tested allergic to them so we used the spinach and green

beans we have been eating) and did not see any difference at all.

> Oh, and for the last 3 days, my 9yr old ASD son has had a tummy

ache every single time he eats. I am at a loss as to what is

causing it, because it happens no matter what he eats. Each time he

mentions it I feel nearly hysterical because here is *one more

thing* to which I have no answer and don't even know where to try to

find one!

> Even if you do not want to post to the list, I would LOVE to hear

from SOMEONE else that did not have instant results but that has

experienced improvement over time. I do not want to give up; the

science seems so sound behind this. I just do not understand at all

why we are not seeing anything happen. Please email me offlist if

you prefer at cubrock@...

I posted 's story on Sept. 16. Here is the link.

I called his story " not dramatic " because there was no sudden

improvement. Yet when you compare his behavior today with 3 years

ago, huge progress can be seen.
