[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 254872, member: 1233"] I think serious research into allergies as a cause or contributing factor to autism and mood disorders would be very interesting and valuable. I know personally that it took over a year of detailed food journalling AND a statistical analysis of the journal (how often certain symptoms happened with-in certain times of eating a food) to find some of my migraine triggers. They can be VERY VERY DIFFICULT to pinpoint. For me the reaction to food comes in the form of a migraine. I find that if I have more than 2 small servings of preserved meat (bacon, sausage, deli meat, etc...) within a three day period I WILL have a severe migraine. I also react to something in fresh tomatoes, asparagus and to whatever is in Beano. The Beano reaction is downright scary - I have respiratory problems. (Beano is a tablet or liquid used to prevent getting gas from certain foods like beans - it is a natural substance of some sort). I also do MUCH better if I use Lactaid when consuming dairy products. I think many people may do this. But not ALL dairy problems are related to lactose. Wiz, for example, has NO reaction to lactose, but a terrible reaction to the fat in dairy. Or something else removed when the fat is removed. He is FINE on skim milk, yogurt and cheese, but whole milk or even 2% milk makes him angry and belligerant and aggressive. Our school lunches do NOT have skim milk so they were a NIGHTMARE when he wanted to buy lunch - luckily he preferred packing his lunch. I think many of us, and our kids, would be truly helped with a detailed food and mood diary and then an anlysis of those. Just in my opinion. Interesting idea that mood disorders and allergies could be relatied. [/QUOTE]
