Re:Fed up with schools food demands -need advice!!

[Guest guest]

Be encouraged. If you want them to see why the diet is so important, just

keep it up. I would guess in time they might see for themselves how your

son has improved.

My daughter also is in a special ed preschool. They stopped complaining

about the restricted diet when they saw her go from non speaking to

speaking, from being off balance, to balanced and running, from being non

responsive, to very responsive. Now she sings, laughs, plays with other

kids, runs. She still has lots of room for improvement but the change is

dramatic and the school has seen it! They now help to make sure Abby

doesn't get the wrong foods. They sometimes remove her from the class

during " treats " (sometimes just by scheduling her speech or ot or pt at the

same time). They are always happy with what I send her. Best of all, once

she got over the hump of craving all those wrong foods, she is plenty happy

eating her SCD food while everyone else eats something else.

Keep it up... time and persistence will be your advocate.
