[QUOTE="Josie, post: 117671, member: 1792"] All of your kids are old enough that they will have to agree to try any elimination diet you do. If they don't agree, they will just eat what they want at school and then you will never really know if it worked or not. You might want to just start with one allergen. We saw fast results with just gluten at first and then realized the blowups we had were due to milk. If you see improvement and think you are on the right track, and then have a problem, check your food carefully to see if you made a mistake. Clear out all of the restricted food from your kitchen. Eat whole foods not processed foods to make it easier. Read all labels. My oldest still has terrible eating habits. She doesn't feel any different if she eats fruits and vegetables so she doesn't. She can tell the difference if she eats gluten or milk so she sticks to it pretty well. This child was the poster child of ODD before so if she didn't believe in this diet, I'm sure she wouldn't be doing it. One thing I did in the very beginning to encourage compliance is let her have whatever she wanted to eat if it didn't have gluten. This was just so we could see if gluten was the answer. My husband mostly goes along with the diet but he will eat things that I won't. This is not a regular diet, where occasional cheating is expected and allowed. For me, if I have any of the food, I feel tired and irritable for days. I can even have mood swings of depression and rage. It just isn't worth it to me. So I would let husband worry about his own diet and you just do what you need to do. If you are talking about an elimination diet for you and it works, you will not even want to cheat. [/QUOTE]
