[QUOTE="Josie, post: 298350, member: 1792"] I am sorry about K. I am in a similar postion with my difficult child 2. We are trying everything, consulting many doctors, and nothing is working. Her symptoms are different than K's but she is almost completely unable to function normally due to physical and mental problems. While we have all of these doctors involved, I also have to do lots of research to figure out what to do. So I think I know what you are going through. Reading your post, I have two thoughts. One, if K says the medicine is making her worse, that would carry a lot of weight with me. I don't know about lithium, so maybe that is expected in the beginning stages. Two, celiac disease is linked with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. If you are already making everything from scratch, you are doing the hard part of the girlfriend diet. You just need to figure out your substitutions. Here is an interview with a celiac expert in this month's issue of "Living Without". Although he is mostly talking about celiac disease and not gluten intolerance, it is very possible that the same thing would apply with gluten intolerance. I turn into a mentally unstable person if I have any gluten now and I am not diagnosed with celiac disease. difficult child 1, also only gluten intolerant, turns into a difficult difficult child from a typical teen if she has gluten or milk. I get what you are saying about being tired and it is one more thing. I need to do the complete elimination diet with difficult child 2 and I am putting it off because we are making medication changes so it would be hard to tell but also because I am tired and it is one more thing to do. I hope you can find some help soon. [/QUOTE]
