[QUOTE="Josie, post: 85565, member: 1792"] My daughter's ODD/depression completely went away by the gluten/casein free diet. If she cheats, the old difficult child is back. I can tell when I pick her up from school, before we even get out of the parking lot, that she has cheated. The no carb diet your son was on before would have been pretty gluten free. If he is now cheating and having normal carbs, unless they are rice, potatoes, or corn, it could easily affect his behaviour. What kinds of things is he eating when he is cheating? I suggest you send him something to take its place. If he has to have carbs, try gluten free carbs. I think the only way to keep a kid on a restrictive diet is to make it as easy as possible for them by providing things they will see as treats. There aren't many people, especially doctors, who will tell you that diet will work. You can find out about it on the internet from other people who have experienced it, but if you haven't experienced it, it seems incredible. Even difficult child's psychiatrist, who has seen the results in difficult child, tends to think it is just her maturing. Even though, she was headed to an antipsychotic on top of her a/d, and now is on nothing and doing great. Maybe it isn't just diet in your son's case. Since you have already noticed a possible connection between his diet and behaviour, it is worth pursuing. I think difficult child's behaviour would never have been controlled by medicine for long if she had continued to eat gluten and casein. [/QUOTE]
