Re: has anyone ever dealt with this

[Guest guest]

Have you pointed out to your husband the changes in behavior when her diet

changes? Perhaps you could try to explain that various food allergies cause

different reactions. I.E. peanut allergies can cause anything from a mild rash

to Anaphylactic shock. And he should be able to find out about lactose

intolerance from the conventional med personnel he meets with on his job.

BTW, does he not notice the differences in her behavior when he changes her

diet?

(gluten, soy, dairy, corn, sugar and yeast-free) for about a year now and she is

making a lot of progress. I have also started her on chelation (according to AC

protocol) and several vitamin/mineral supplements and vinpocetine.

including toe walking, more difficulty with speech, verbal stims, refusal to sit

on the potty, and more screaming instead of articulating when she wants

something. Lo and behold I just discovered that is about the same amount of time

my husband has been giving her foods not on the diet without my knowledge. He

refuses to stop feeding her these foods although I have asked. I think he

doesn't believe diet or supplements have anything to do with her progress. He

works as a field service tech for a hospital, so most of his info comes from the

opinions of conventional med personnel. I think he also views this as kind of a

power struggle. I'm the one who spends almost all the time with her, so I'm the

one who notices the small changes. Has anyone dealt with a non-cooperating

spouse when it comes to biomed/diet? I know we should be working together and

believe me I would like to, but some people can be very difficult to persuade.

I'm getting to the point where I don't really want to leave her alone with him.
