[QUOTE="Josie, post: 247513, member: 1792"] I think I have just become a huge fan of yours! I will read your new book but since you are here, maybe you can answer a specific question of mine. My 13 year old daughter has diagnosed food allergies to gluten and milk. When she maintains her diet, she is a lovely child with some manageable typical teen behaviour. Unfortunately, she cheats on her diet with the whole family then suffering from her defiant, mean, ways. I have really been trying to teach her the value of staying on her diet by coming down hard on her with loss of privileges for chore refusal. When she cheats on her diet, though, there really is no reasoning with her and she doesn't care about consequences. There is some depression that goes along with it also. So far, I don't seem to be making much progress with getting her to stay strictly on her diet with my approach. If I didn't know that diet was the cause of this, I would consider medicine, but I am not convinced medications would help when she would be eating her allergens. I've considered homeschooling her and not letting her go anywhere unsupervised but that doesn't seem like a good answer either. The whole family is on the same diet as her since we all have the same allergies, so it is not that we are eating this way in front of her. I used to go to a lot of trouble to make treats for her to take with her until I realized she wasn't eating them. What do you suggest to parents in your practice who face this problem? [/QUOTE]
