[QUOTE="gwend1, post: 606710, member: 15994"] I think I'm the one who posted our experiences? We have been using Feingold for 3 months now, we are also gluten-free, casein-free but that's not a part of Feingold. Some people need to do bpth Feingold and gluten-free, casein-free, others are successful with one or the other (and some I'm sure aren't helped by either but the Feingold facebook groups I'm now on are compelling with the experiences of how many people are being helped - kids and adults) One thing that I've learned, and experienced Feingolders are adamant about it, is that to know if it is going to help or not you have to remove all potential offenders. I started with just additives at home, we still ate out and we still ate fruits and vegetables that are high in salicylates, and I didn't see any change. It's called a diet, but it includes personal care products that touch the skin or create fumes as well. It can sound SO intimidating...but I took it a step at a time and it wasn't too bad. We've been on Feingold for three months now and I have a new child. She has had struggles since she was very little with sensory processing disorder (SPD) and a very high need for movement (which was helped to a degree by gluten-free, casein-free) but she was increasingly becoming violent and as she got bigger it was getting harder to control her and harder to feel safe. Her rages were frequent, at least several times a week, and I was becoming unwilling to take her anywhere because if I needed to say "no" she could react with hitting, kicking and running away from me regardless of where we were. I could see her eyes change and she would intentionally try to hurt me, even though at other times she could be a loving child. Even days without a full rage were exhausting because so many things were a battle. If she was going to get a bath I would need to start several hours in advance to get her used to the idea; shopping was becoming impossible and most mornings the first thing she said was "I'm not going to school." It took us a month to get fully on Feingold. I needed to buy new personal care products and get used to cooking new recipes and finding new products. Once we were 100% I saw small changes pretty quickly, but it took 2 months to get to consistently positive results. Part of the process is that once you have consistent results you start reintroducing the fruits and vegetables you've excluded...so far we've tried two and they have been disasters! I would never have believed that organic grapes could cause raging, hitting and screaming - but for my daughter, they do. It's a lot of work cooking everything, but I have so much more energy now that every day isn't a battlefield that I have the time to do it. Everything is just so much easier.... [/QUOTE]
