[QUOTE="Josie, post: 161300, member: 1792"] Terry, I hope you will take this in the spirit it is intended and not be offended. You say that difficult child is guaranteed to wet the bed after having pizza (wheat and milk). You are letting him have a Reese's peanut butter cup (with milk) every day if he makes his bed. If he really has a problem with wheat and milk, giving him these foods, even as a treat, is undermining his whole ability to be his best. Honestly, you might not even need therapy for behaviour management if you eliminate these foods strictly. If my daughter has even 1 M&M, she turns back into a difficult child, sometimes to the point of raging. She is disrespectful, defiant, mean, and violent. No discipline works. Without milk and gluten, she is a pleasure to be around. She's off from her medications and she is out of therapy. We do have to read every label and avoid anything with traces of wheat or milk. We hardly ever eat out because of cross contamination and when we do, it is at places that understand the whole gluten issue. It is inconvenient but it is better than dealing with a difficult child. You might have the answer to 1/2 of your problem in your son's diet. The problems with your husband are a separate matter but would probably be less of an issue if difficult child were not such a problem. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
