Re: Anyone ever tried the Feingold Diet?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone ever tried the Feingold Diet? I am considering putting my

kids on this diet to see if it helps with the symptoms of ADD.

I haven't tried it but I know someone who did. She had 5 kids, one of them with severe ADD. She got tired of the drug route and put the whole family on the Feingold diet (she wasn't about to cook different food for everyone, so they all ate it). She said it really worked and definitely got the ADD under control.

Hi Rose,

I tried that briefly a few years back. Here's a site you may want to

look at, if you haven't already found it.

http://www.enzymestuff.com/dietsfg.htm

I remember thinking that if I take gluten, casein, soy, corn, and

saylicates out of his diet-all he would end up being able to eat were

pears and rice. What's going to happen with a long term diet like that?

There are enzymes that help with phenol(saylicates are a sub group of

phenols) intolerance. Kirkmans makes one and Houston Nutraceuticals

does also. I know if you ask Houston, they will send you samples.

My son uses the Houston enzymes and seems to be doing nicely on them.

No more aggression or frustration and it's only been a couple of months

(if that long).

I have done this diet ( a combination of the Feingold, Specific Carbohydrate Diet, Sara's Diet and G/F C/F) with my son. I the list of foods they give to avoid is valuable. They also go into soaps, hair products and so on that your child maybe reacting to.

I didn't renew my membership since all I wanted was the list of things to avoid and why. Now that we do allergy corrections with a form of kinesiology I don't see the same negative reactions when my son eats something off the list.

I pray this helps

This helps a lot, Marilyn. Thanks! What is the kinesiology for

allergies all about? I'm interested in hearing more.

Thanks much!

Certainly makes sense to put the whole family on this diet.  My husband will moan and groan more than the kids, I'm sure.  LOL!  Thanks, Gloria!RoseOn Oct 25, 2005, at 4:23 PM, MorningGlory113@... wrote:Has anyone ever tried the Feingold Diet?  I am considering putting my  kids on this diet to see if it helps with the symptoms of ADD.

Hi Rose,

He eats whole foods, fruits,fresh vegetable juice(only because he

won't eat vegetables anymore),very little meat and eggs ,nuts,

cultured dairy, and sprouted wheat/spelt flour from this place:

http://www.creatingheaven.net/eeproducts/eesfc/index.html

He was GFCF for 2-3 years and I saw some improvment but it was a

constant battle having my husband and daughter keep stuff away from

him. With the enzymes, he is doing as good as he ever has and I

can't tell you how much stress has been relieved since I don't have

to shadow everybody around here and keep tabs on who eats what. He

takes all 3 of the Houston enzymes.

Good luck,

Ann

Here is a website that I think explains Kinesiology pretty good. I Also work with the this practioner.
