[QUOTE="Josie, post: 394064, member: 1792"] My daughter was a classic example of ODD at home. At school, she was fine and people wouldn't have believed me if I told them what went on in our house. Or they would have thought that clearly our parenting style was at fault. Then, we changed her diet to girlfriend/CF and that behaviour at home went away. We did not change our parenting style, except that eventually we were able to have higher expectations for her without the problems. I guess you could say she could control it, if she was controlling it at school. But clearly something was going on inside to make her act that way at home that was corrected by her diet. If you think about times that you are in a bad mood or sick, you might go out and act like you're not, but when you get back home, that feeling hasn't gone away. I do the same diet she does, and before I did, I was always feeling irritable inside. When I was home, I had a tone in my voice that reflected that irritation. The first day that I took Lexapro, I remember being in the kitchen, making dinner, with 3 people all trying to talk to me at the same time. For the first time, I was not irritated by this and was able to tell them I could only hear one person at a time, in a nice way. Something inside me changed from that Lexapro, so I wasn't feeling irritated. Now, I get that same effect by changing my diet, but it is clearly a biochemical thing, for me, even though I could control it out in public. [/QUOTE]
