Re: Re: Has anyone ever dealt with this?

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for the help. I wish it were something as simple as an

obvious rash that could be linked directly to a certain food. It's more

general and it's a combination of small symptoms that are not so noticeable

by people who don't spend the day with her. But to say, well, she's not

doing the creative play that she had been doing, or she's harder to take to

the grocery store, or she won't let me pick her up like she used to doesn't

really make an impression on someone who doesn't have a really good

understanding of the baseline that's been deviated from.

Anyway, I think the best I can do would be to leave some relevant books

around and hope that they'll get read. He doesn't read or research this

condition either, so I've been the one to make all the appts, investigate

supplements and treatments, etc.
