[QUOTE="Josie, post: 393377, member: 1792"] I understand. We just went through a terrible week after my daughter, A, cheated on her diet, too. There is no reasoning with her when that happens and she will take a consequence she doesn't like, just to show us we can't control her. Luckily, she stays in her room for the most part when it happens, but it still casts a depressing atmosphere over the whole house. It lasted a full week from whatever she ate at a party. She left as a easy child/typical teen and came back as a difficult child. Any way you can totally remove access to those foods? While you shouldn't have to, sometimes that is what is needed. Maybe you can take advantage of the upcoming school break to keep him under strict supervision without access to any foods he shouldn't have. Also, do some research at [url]www.celiac.com[/url] to make sure he isn't eating something regularly that you think is ok that really isn't. I had to ban Frito Lay products even, for example, because they are made on the same line as wheat products. Eating those on a vacation totally ruined a trip we took. I try to make my daughter's life as miserable as I can if she cheats so she won't be as tempted the next time. I only know she cheats when her behaviour is over the top, so I really punish the behaviour, not the cheating. For the most part, she is compliant, but we do have the occasional trouble. Early in my girlfriend days, I mistakenly bought some cookies that had traces of wheat in them. There was nothing special about them, but for some reason, I just ate those cookies uncontrollably. All 3 of us that were girlfriend at the time, had issues from eating those cookies. Honestly, I think for those of us with gluten issues, there might be a craving issue when we get it. If you can just get him away from it for a while, he might be less likely to crave it. And, provide him with his own treats that he can have instead. (Most of the store-bought ones are not good.) If you can just find a way to get him to stay with it, I think you could be surprised by the changes that can happen. I know he is at a difficult age to get him to agree, but maybe some serious consequences would gain more compliance. [/QUOTE]
