[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 71760, member: 3837"] When he started this diet, all foods we ate as a family were from scratch. If we wanted to add something like mac n cheese to the meal, we just made sure there was always another side like a veggie. He would eat leftovers the next day for lunch, even at school. When school started this year, we still provide his lunch, but we were allowing him to have a PB sandwich, which isn't on the doctor ordered diet. All of the food in our house that isn't in a can or isn't something he'd want to pop in his mouth, is locked in the cabinet. Today though, our daughter left a half drank capri sun at the table and difficult child got ahold of it. As a family, we eat dinner together every night. I cook or husband cooks every night except Friday. We eat pizza on Fridays. On Fridays difficult child would eat leftovers from a previous day or we'd make him some chicken with veggies. We were really hoping to ease up on his diet, because it stinks and because he is so small. He and my 3 year old are darn near the same size. This is mostly due to the medications he was on, but the diet didn't help. So now I'm thinking I can't even ease up on his diet. Or maybe what I should do is keep him on plain foods until he is on medications. Then I'll know for sure if its the food or the lack of medications. One thing that stinks is, if it were still summer, he'd be behaving better. School just does this to him. He just doesn't do well in a classroom setting. He does so much better on a very structured schedule at home that doesn't involve interaction with anyone unless I'm around to supervise.' I've thought about shadowing him at school for a few days once our daughter goes back to preschool. I thought it may help the teacher see the difference in his behavior when with me and with her. But then I think that would just make things worse. As his old preschool said, I run things like a nazi, so this is why my kids behave. Thats the last thing I need the new school thinking. [/QUOTE]
