Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I just got back from the naturopath that tested my non-OCD'er 8 yr. old for allergies and heavy metals. The heavy metals came back high and he is allergic to wheat, dairy, gluten?, peanuts, soy and eggs. Can I hear back from anyone who's gone through this process? These are all the foods that he eats, basically. He lives on pbj sandwiches, dairy, bagels, pizza, chicken nuggets, etc. The typical junk food kid diet with the occasional apple or peach thrown in. I don't think he'll eat if I try the diet change. Anyone see a difference in their OCD children after trying it? After how long? Thanks--I'm feeling quite overwhelmed!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hi! That does cut out a lot of foods! Does he like other foods but just prefers his favorites or is he that limited in his diet? was a very picky eater and limited on the foods he could/would eat. Texture was a problem for some foods. So trying a " diet " with him seemed impossible too. Maybe you could cut out one category at a time? A couple weeks without wheat, then try to phase out something else.... I know over the years, some parents have noticed positive changes when eliminating a substance/food that their child was allergic to, including food dyes, etc. I did find this site that also suggests " good substitutes " for those allergies: http://www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/products/grocery/tips_allergies.html Also these (some info on sites but some sell products): http://www.thenewhomemaker.com/node/68807 http://www.foodallergy.org/recipes.html http://www.cherrybrookkitchen.com/dietary-concerns.html http://www.freedomfoods.com.au/food_allergy.html Hope above helps a little.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Wow, that is a lot, and a big change for a child! I would start small and let him know why. What are the heavy metals? WHat does that mean? Sharon Celation and allergy related question I just got back from the naturopath that tested my non-OCD'er 8 yr. old for allergies and heavy metals. The heavy metals came back high and he is allergic to wheat, dairy, gluten?, peanuts, soy and eggs. Can I hear back from anyone who's gone through this process? These are all the foods that he eats, basically. He lives on pbj sandwiches, dairy, bagels, pizza, chicken nuggets, etc. The typical junk food kid diet with the occasional apple or peach thrown in. I don't think he'll eat if I try the diet change. Anyone see a difference in their OCD children after trying it? After how long? Thanks--I'm feeling quite overwhelmed!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 My OCDer and myself have horrible food allergies. One thing is for sure, change your childs diet. No, they are not going to like it, but YES you will see a difference in all areas of the childs life. Not only am I allergic to all the things that you listed, so are my children. I can help you with recepies and fast food resturaunts that they can eat at. I can also help you with hidden ingrediants. Email me if you like: siriuslives689@... " autumn71A@...
