[QUOTE="Josie, post: 385276, member: 1792"] If you are interested in allergies, you might consider the gluten free or gluten free/casein free diet. It has been a miracle in my house. My older daughter was diagnosis'ed with depression and ODD. She was always fine at school but was a big problem at home. She was taking Lexapro and we were going to add an antipsychotic to decrease her violent tendencies. Instead, we put her on the girlfriend/CF diet and she is fine, now. No medications or therapy needed. It has been 4 1/2 years so far. Probably a lot of people here will suggest a neuropsychologist test. That will take a while to get going and in the meantime, you could look into diet changes to see what happens. I scanned the Doris Rapp book and as I remember it, she looks for allergies to all kinds of foods, not just gluten and milk. That is probably not a bad idea, either, but we have not had to go that far. My daughter has to be extremely strict with gluten and milk. Even a trace of it will cause trouble. It is important to be super strict at first or you might not see a result even if it is the problem. I just noticed your son has a growth disorder. If he is not growing as much as he should be, that is a good reason to test for celiac disease, if he hasn't been already. A negative celiac test does not rule out a gluten problem, though. I just noticed your signature and wanted to add that when I went on the girlfriend diet, I no longer needed my Lexapro either. Maybe you would benefit from it, too. I only started doing it because my children were on it, but I am very committed to it now. [/QUOTE]
