foods be done prior to the start of this diet. Often times, our children have allergies to more than just wheat and
dairy.
By now you have either heard of or read about the GFCF Diet. We are a big
fan of this diet, but not before I tested it out. We were told for many years to
start this diet & me being the sceptic that I am put it off. Then our OT
recommended that I take Lexie to a Homeopath. Again sceptical, I went
anyways. (Our OT only has our best interest at heart) The homeopath did the
muscle test & told me that Alexis was allergic to many things, but had a deadly
reaction to peanuts. ( I had told her I thought she was prior to her telling us
that) Anyways she told me all these things I needed to do. I said uh huh, OK
we will try. I never did try. A year after that Alexis started having major
behavior problems. She's never had any before. So I took her to the allergist.
Sure enough everything the homeopathic had said came back as Lexie having
severe allergies to. Bad enough that I walked out of the office with an epi-pen.
Anyways my point to this is two-fold. One, the diet works. Two, you never know
as much as you think you do.
We have started seeing a homeopathic. We are currently on our 5th weeks.
We have already started seeing amazing results without any side effects. This
week we will start detoxing chemicals and will do this for four weeks or until her
body tells us otherwise. I am very pleased with the results. We are sticking to
our diet and we make sure others don't allow Alexis to eat anything on her
"no,no list." So I encourage you to try the diet with your child, but ONLY if your
going to follow through with it. It's not easy, but the rewards are worth it.
Now I am going to give you what I have found the most helpful<laughing>
another website. The editor Judy of this site has put a lot of effort into this. I
think you will find it answers all your questions. If it doesn't, e-mail her! Or me
& I will try to find the answer. Here's the link.
