Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I really hope someone can help me!! My 3 yr. old daughter started the diet 5 days ago. I shouldn't even say she's doing the 'diet' because she's not - she just stopped eating. She never, ever ate good to begin with (Nutrigrain bars, toast, yogurt, chicken nuggets. That's it.) but now she's not eating anything since Wednesday. She had a small amount of Jello Tuesday (made with Welch's Grape Juice) and that has been it. I made homemade nuggets, applesauce, banana bread, peanut butter brownies, everything I could think of that she might possible try. But nothing. I took her out of school this week and next week, thinking i'd have her eating by the following Monday but it's not looking good at all. Here is my biggest dilema. She will not keep her clothes on or her shoes. Nothing I put on her. She keeps taking her diaper off and pooping on the floor (which is all diarrhea because she hasn't eaten anything). We had to throw her sheets away last night because she smeared it everywhere. She went on my living room floor. She just went in her bedroom. She is a little red on her private area. My husband is losing it. He's talking about killing himself. He said he can't stand to see her smear her poop like an animal. He has been so supportive of all the biomed we have done, all her supplements and chelation. Everything. But this just set him over the edge. He can't bear to see her like this. I just don't know what to do. Is this die off? Is she starving? What do I do if she won't eat anything? I'm at a loss. She has severe texture issues - I even tried to give her baby food (I know it's not legal but I just want her to eat). Do I try to force her to eat or do I just lay it our there and she'll eat it eventually? Any advice at all would be sooooooo appreciated! And any answers on the poop smearing and not wearing clothes - has anyone else experienced this before? How long does it last? I have been giving her charcoal to try and absorb some die off but I don't even know if that is what's going on. Sorry for all the questions - we're just a mess over here and I'm on the verge of losing my husband. I have the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle and I didn't read anything this horrible in there. I guess it's easier for people who have children that actually eat. The diet isn't going to work for us if I can't get her to eat ANYTHING.
