[QUOTE="Josie, post: 97662, member: 1792"] My husband didn't want to do the diet at first, either. Since I am still married to him, I had a lot more influence than you will over an ex, obviously. We still had many heated disagreements over the whole thing. Now, he is a believer and is even mostly gluten free himself. I'm not sure even I would have seen a positive result if he had given them gluten every week. There are restaurants that do gluten free meals. Outback, PF Chang's are two. It's not as safe as making it yourself but it would be better than eating regular spaghetti or a sandwich. If your ex eats out a lot, he might be able to accommodate the diet without feeding your son totally differently. Have you ever had your son tested for celiac disease? If he tested positive, your ex would have more reason to do the diet and could possibly even be ordered by the court do do it. Even then, it is hard for others to accept that it needs to be done. With a celiac disease diagnosis, I believe the public schools have to provide a suitable lunch if you make them. I'm not sure if this comes under a 504 plan or how exactly it is done, but I have read that it can be. I would not trust the school to do it right though so it would be better to send his lunch every day. It is inconvenient but is actually less inconvenient for me to cook every single meal and pack a lunch every single day than dealing with all of the behaviour problems that came along with the wheat. Does your son have any stomach problems? If not, it might be tough to get him tested for celiac disease. Maybe your history of wheat intolerance would be enough but doctors are pretty resistant to the whole idea. One of my daughters had stomach problems and was tested but was negative. My other daughter and I were never tested by the regular doctors but in all of us, our response to the diet has shown us that it is the right thing to do. I could see improvement in my daughter the first few days we tried the diet with her. To really see the whole effect, it is important to get rid of all traces of gluten. With an uncooperative ex, it will be difficult. So sorry. [/QUOTE]
