[QUOTE="LauraK, post: 117661, member: 4525"] Thank you all so much for making contact here and making me feel so welcome!! I have looked at some of the Asperger's stuff that has been mentioned and, while some of the symtpoms match, others do not correlate to my girls. For one, they all have always made GREAT eye contact and LOVE LOVE LOVE hugs, kisses and cuddling! (Sorry if it seems like I latched onto a couple things, but those really stood out to me.) K (#1) and I have been talking recently (and have talked in the past) about doing an elimination diet for her. The trouble with her is that she really wants a quick-fix and to not have to work at/for anything! The times we have had her in to see nutritionists, medical professionals she has NEVER had any compliance to what they told her to do. (She did think it was 'cool' and 'funny' to hear them all tell her to do the things that husband and I had been telling her and encouraging her to do all along!) We have given her pretty much full-reign over her schoolwork, grades, sleep (ie - have to be in your room by 10, but we know we can't make you go to sleep). I just told her 2 days ago that for 3 weeks, she needs to take breads, cereals, etc and all dairy out of her diet (since those are the most frequent offenders) and keep a journal of how she feels. Then she can slowly add back in, while watching and keeping track of symptoms. BUT I WILL NOT fight with her about this! I learned A LONG time ago that I need to limit fields of battle with her. She has to want to get well herself! She will be 17 in 3 mos....needs to take more responsibility for her life and health. (Or do you think I am off base on this?) I have been on many restrictive diets myself in the last 7 years. I have never been able to get everyone to go along with me. husband is MAJOR sabatouer!! And he seems unwilling to do anything to address his own overweight (70+lbs!!) Anyone have any tips for me about how to try to implement a family-wide elimination diet? Or should I be posting on the the Natural Remedies forum? At any rate, thanks again, everyone, for the wonderful welcome!! LauraK [/QUOTE]
