[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 288563, member: 1991"] Hi Trish. I'm not a Jenny McCarthy fan, I'm afraid. Long story... For info on diet and especially it possibly helping with autism, check out the Allergy Clinic at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. Rob Loblay, Ann Swain are the names to look for. Somewhere in my filing cabinet I have the diet guideline books. It's very mainstream (although it doesn't sound like it). We were involved when tey were doing a research project on diet and whether or not it helps with autism - they said in about 40% of cases, diet helped some symptoms. They worked on eliminating things like additive,s of course, butalso eliminating things like salicylates, amines, glutamates etc. And of course dairy & gluten. Different kids react to different groups and trying to eliminate them for sure is tricky. A suggestion, though - if you're trialling anything like that diet-wise, trial everybody at the same time. it makes it easier. You also need to keep a diary to write down what they ate (you need to list everything) and to also report on any behaviour observations. It's a big job! Then again, the way we got difficult child 3 bowel-trained was to blu-tak a mini-box of smarties to the bathroom wall. He got a mini-box for poo in the toilet. It wasn't quite as simple as that, but it was a big help. Of course, not when he was on the diet - then, the only sweets he could have were honeycomb (like the inside of a Violet Crumble bar). I love bribery... Marg [/QUOTE]
