They DO make gf/cf cheesepuffs and we have tricked Kaelyn that way... feels wrong, but we gotta do what we gotta do, right? Mainly, we just don't eat the things she wants and can't have. Eat them when she is in bed or sneak into another room. It IS a huge adjustment and be prepared for some SERIOUS behaviors when you remove foods. It's like an opiate to them and their bodies WILL notice it's gone and for 3-6 weeks, it won't feel so great. But in that time, in Kaelyn's case, she made great progress in verbal development.

I'm going to jot a few of those things down on a piece of paper and stick it in my purse as a reference when I go shopping. It will be an adjustment for all of us. I can't sit and eat a bag of Cheetos and tell my kid "sorry, you can't have any". Well, I could, but it wouldn't be very nice. Do you know if there is any info that will help explain this in a way that a child would understand? I've told Paige in the past that we may have to make a change in the foods she eats and she just doens't understand why. Very good info Lainna!

Fruits, veggies, HEALTHY foods. Anything that tastes REALLY good or has things listed in the ingredients that you can't pronounce, it probably isn't good. We are also adding the Feingold diet to Gluten and Casein free, and I am finding the Feingold to be MUCH harder than Gf/CF. Because the "toxins" really are in EVERYTHING. I have set a time limit of 4 months for us to go green and all natural. I figure that is a realiztic amount of time to learn and implement the diet and the lifestyle changes that need to happen. @beckyla Here are some links…

I've been through alot with trying to find my son the right medication and stuff, I've been thinking about trying something more natural, to where I don't have to worry about keep changing meds, Since he was 5 years old he has been on just about every dose of Concerta, he was on Ritalin, Seroquel, Rhisperdal, Adderral (the long lasting one) as well as the one that works like ritalin, Benadryl to help him sleep, several meds for bedwetting, (which is still an issue) plus other medications that I don't remember the names of. Now he is on one pill called Vyvanse which so far is working ok, but he still has trouble listening and gets irritable and whiny when he comes down from it, His newest issue that just started a few months ago, is he's been pulling at his hair behind his ears and actually leaving little bald spots, and he would do the same to his eyebrows and one time he pulled his eyelashes out. it's been a big challenge with him, but I didn't want to just stop his medication while he is still in school, I figured I would try to start doing it naturally for the summer and use that as a trial period, to see if it would help him better than the medication, I'm just lost at where to start, I've heard of giving fish oil w/ omega 3, and I've heard of the feingold diet, so I really wanted to look more into it, like I've said before and thanks again for putting that section in there, I think what you are doing with your daughter is amazing!
