[QUOTE="Josie, post: 358183, member: 1792"] You haven't failed her. You are doing everything you can for her. She is a tough one to parent and to figure out. I know I have suggested that you try the girlfriend diet but I don't know if I have ever mentioned it for her. As you probably know, my younger daughter had stomach problems until she was 8. She was tested for celiac disease and it was always negative. The doctors said she was "anxious" because she was always complaining about her tummy and they couldn't find anything wrong. Finally, I tried the girlfriend/CF diet for her, even though the doctors said it wasn't her problem, and her stomach problems went away and haven't returned in 4 years. My other daughter was a pretty serious difficult child until she was 10. It was bad enough that I was thinking she would end up at an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and I had the psychiatric hospital phone number taped to the cabinet in case I needed it in an emergency. Putting her on the girlfriend/CF diet made her into a typical kid. No medications, no therapy, and she responds to typical parenting methods. Your daughter is old enough that she would have to want to try the diet herself, which might be a problem. If it helped her stomach, though, she might be willing to stick with it. And, it might make her a less anxious kid as an added bonus. No medications are required so she might like that part. [/QUOTE]
