I know I have read that many bipolar people crave carbs and sugar... Do other parents notice this in their teens? Of course, most kids love that kind of stuff, but do you see any difference when they have binged on sugary stuff and their behavior?
For example, today difficult child had three pancakes, drowned in syrup, covered with chocolate chips, and a hot chocolate with cool whip all over the top. Now, she has walked to Braum's for ice cream. I have noticed that when she makes a half gallon of kool aid we usually have drama to deal with. Not sure if there is a physical reason or if it is my imagination... I try to limit foods like this... but she finds ways around it.
We see the new therapist on Tuesday morning. I am so hoping we get some answers, advice, or at least tea and sympathy. LOL. KSM
