[QUOTE="Josie, post: 231390, member: 1792"] Have you ever considered the gluten free diet for him? And even for you. He does have stomach issues. The girlfriend diet can be helpful for headaches, too. I think 30% of people with migraines reduce or eliminate migraines with a girlfriend diet. I used to be anxious and imagine the worst case scenario for everything. I did not consider myself anxious but thought that I was just being prepared. Since being on the girlfriend diet, I don't do this any more and sometimes wonder if I am too relaxed! Probably half the people on the girlfriend diet had to decide for themselves to do it. Testing is not accurate and doctors are sometimes not open to the idea anyway. Not to scare you, but some children with anxiety do have real medical problems. I feel that doctors are too quick to dismiss problems as "anxiety". My younger daughter complained about her tummy for years and it was thought she was anxious. Changing her diet cured her tummy aches. Later, she said "something doesn't feel right". The testing didn't show anything and they decided again that she was psychsomatic. She eventually got sick enough that she was taken more seriously and it turns out she has Lyme Disease. She is slowly getting better now but if we had known about it earlier, it would have been easier to treat. Surprisingly, my daughter's anxiety is getting better as she gets better. That makes me think that physicial illness can cause anxiety. Also if you have real symptoms that are dismissed and unexplained, of course you will be anxious about it. It is possible that your son really does have something medical going on that needs to be uncovered. From my own experience, it is possible you will have to go out of network or out of conventional medicine to discover what it is, if anything. [/QUOTE]
