Negative reaction to olives/olive oil

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

Have any of your dd/ds had negative reaction to olives/olive oil? My ds is 4.5,

dx'ed with HSF also hyperlexic. We've been on GFCF for 5 months now with pretty

good improvements.

I've been thinking about adding fatty acids since he seems to not get enough of

those in his diet, and they are supposed to be so good for you. Once in a while

we'd eat at Fresh Choice or Sweet Tomatoes because you can choose non GC foods.

He loves olives so I'd get some for him. It seems every time after he eats them,

he'd be irritable and defiant, much more than usual. When I add olive oil in

dishes he gets the same reaction. I've tested a couple of times and it's the

same every time.

It's amazing how certain foods can trigger such specific behaviors. Since we've

been on GFCF and his communication has improved so much. When we were back on GC

to test if he'd be different, he sure was. It's now easier to spot these other

things that just stand out. So with olive/oil, he was still spontaneously

communicating, but his attitude was negative toward just about anything.
