Trying A New Diet
Our son was recently diagnosed with PDD. I didn't think it had anything to do with diet.
However, he recently had a bowl of Weetabix and started bouncing off the walls.
So we are going to try a gluten-free and casein-free diet.
I want to chronicle what we have purchased and what he has eaten and see the correlations in behavior with each food.
Then we will see if it works. I am hopeful but I know this won't be easy. And boy are these gluten-free products expensive!

You might talk to Gina, she is experimenting with a macrobiotic diet which I beleive has some of the same restrictions.
Also, will you email me (I am at work till 7) at babelbabe(at)comcast.net? I have some questions I want to ask you about BFing past age 1. If you don't mind, that is.

Oh Lisa, I thought one kid was bad enough. I can't imagine your grocery bill - not to imagine all the different meals you cook.
Anaphylactic allergies are downright scary. Peanuts and dairy and wheat are in almost everything. Did you know wheat is in sausage? It makes it kind of hard to find foods without.
