Kristy,

If I don't do the atkins, I don't lose. I have tried the protein

first, and found I not only didn't lose, but actually gained. And that was

eating NO sweets. I am going to get me some grapes tomorow, then back to the

atkins type diet. It will be the first time I have ate grapes since surgery.

It will be wonderful to eat a few without dumping!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mel...during the first 6mo-year if you are truly following our diet

rules than it is pretty much an Atkins type of diet. During this

time if you can get in 64 oz of fluid,80-100 grams of protein,

followed by veggies, then fruits and last carbs, avoiding

sugar...there shouldn't be much tummy room, if any for carbs. Where

your at if you drink all your water, eat (not drink) 100 grams of

protein and get in some green veggies...you should be pretty full

leaving no room for carbs and that is pretty much atkins....Plus you

are a revision and you want to maximize your weightloss during your

first year...So stick to your plan doing basically Atkins, with an

occasional bite of something yummy...like grapes! Enjoy the heck out

of those grapes.

Hi Mels,

Yes, I agree that no one was trying to be inflammatory, that they just

checked the email at a different time, but due to this possibility a

moderated status would help very much.

Honestly, what ever I want. Although, I have gotten much better

lately about not eating chocolate and cutting back on the sugar. And

I'm still not doing any formal exercising but I do walk a lot at

school. Of course, the bathroom issues are there but mostly at night

and directly related to what I eat. Other than that, I'm good. I'm

getting braces on Tuesday. Can you believe it? You look great, I saw

, you are talking about what my husband and I call " Mother of the Year "

moments! You know, those times when you know you are acting completely the

opposite of how you should and you know that your child can't help it, etc, etc.

I have to remind myself that I am human and that most of the time my kids

are darn lucky to have me! I am so glad that my girls will let me tell them

it's OCD when I think it is--I can't imagine how I would handle it if they were

not okay with that. It must be really tough--like not talking about the pink

elephant in the room? Kelley in NV

[Guest guest]

You poor thing, Lori! There is a lot going on in your life, isn't there? I

haven't joined any other sites so I can only imagine how confusing it can be.

I have OCD too, as do both of my daughters. Mine flares up when I'm

stressed. A little while ago, I caught myself carefully lining up all of my

Girl

Scout cookies (I'm a cookie mom) so that the labels were facing the same way and

I

decided I needed a little break! It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have so

many cookies to straighten out! I'm glad to know the question belonged here

because it really seemed to fit here! Talk to you soon. Kelley in NV

[Guest guest]

Thank you ,

Lindsey's OCD is coming back. She's counting things all the time and constantly

asking me how old I am,How old her dad is, the dogs... But we haven't talked

about it being the OCD coming back ..I'm almost afraid it will make it worse if

I mention it! She (I) will write eventually and she would LOVE for your son to

write back! Maybe She can just write to say hi,and her feeings she had before.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks so much for this. We've never done the scratch allergy test. He had

a blood allergy test (sorry I'm not very technical) through Mass General

which seemed to show no problems but I don't know how reliable that specific

test/lab was. My son definitely responds negatively to dyes. He also can't

seem to tolerate orange juice or colored juices that have berry in them. He

seems to be craving GF/CF pancakes lately which I use eggs in. I also think

he is sensative to corn (as he constantly wants corn based cereal) He is

definitely a carb. kid .. loves his pancakes, waffles, rice pasta and fries.

He eats very few foods. He does eat home made chicken/turkey soup which I

put his veggies in (along with rice) and although I would really like to try

the SCD I'm petrified he will not eat. He is one of those kids that would

rather starve himself than eat something he doesn't like and it gets scary.

He lost 5 pounds in a 6 wk period not too long ago so I'm really scared what

he would eat if not for the rice/potatos. He doesn't eat much meat at all.

(Though he used to eat hot dogs - if you consider that meat. LOL) I tried

giving him almond flour pancakes and he did seem to like them but his poop

became awful and I was scared he was sensative to even the almond flour. Do

you live in Mass? I sure do miss home. I was from Malden - 5 miles from

Boston. Now I live in PA.

[Guest guest]

Hi ann,

I think you and I spoke on the Autism Web forum I live in Andover. One of

the only things my son eats is Waffles/pancakes. You don't need to put eggs in

them. (I tried gluten free mixes... too gritty and he wouldn't eat them) I use

1 tablespoon of milled flax seed to help the pancakes rise. I also use rice

milk because my daughter can't tolerate soy you could also use coconut milk

(although that mildly changes the flavor). Also he wont eat veggies so I put a

couple of tablespoons of baby food veggies and he loves them. For my son eggs

are worse than gluten. Like I said they never showed up on any blood allergy

test. I also only use a very little syrup 100% pure only. I would try removing

the eggs for a few weeks and then reintroduce if you can't get a scratch test

done. Good luck,

[Guest guest]

ann,

Pancakes go well here, too. You can add an amazing assortment of

foods to them. We use an ounce or so of coconut milk, the rest water

to get thickness. Almost any bean will go in for some protein. I've

ground chicpea, lentils, garbanzos, etc[whatever your child will

tolerate] in a coffee grinder and added up to 1:1 with the rice flour

mix. The end product is a bit nutty in texture but has caused no

problems here. I've not tried it but I would guess baby food veggies

[or your own cooked well and mashed] would be a good addition.

The 'craving' sounds like searching behavior. Non of the allergy

testing we ever did, traditional and not so, showed gluten/casein

sensitivity and our daughter still reacts with seizures to these.

The scratch test, or RAST test is looking for IGE allergies, which are real

allergies

compared to the gut leakage we are looking for with IGG allergies. I wish they

were better

named and explained consistently.

I would consider running BOTH tests and avoid BOTH of the marker sets.

Many people are afraid their child won't eat when they change the diet, but most

of them

do. If you think about your child being fed a product that is a toxin, it might

help you to

get started and take the leap.

Oh Stan,

I like that .. to think about your child being fed a product that is toxic. Very good .. that ought to give me a good kick in the pants to get on this SCD diet. Thanks

Hi Stan ,

Very very good point. we just found my son positive on his strep culture .. that would explain the OCD we've been seeing. Now I'm scared but yet glad we may have some more pieces of the puzzle coming into place. He has been a real mess lately.

Ok so I have been meaning to post this very good news! On Wed, I had sent cookies to s class! I bought 7 of them and they were pretty big! They were shaped like apples, frosted red with a green stem! There are 3 kids, 1 teacher and 3 assistants!Anyhow on Wed morning I got an email from Jenna his teacher went Potty for the first time!!!! They have been working with him very hard and the assistant miss le usually goes in and works with ! He even was taught how to stand up and go! And he did! So... Jenna said they were going to have a party potty for him with the cookies I sent in! I was so very thrilled! You all know how hard this has been and nobody else got him to do this! I cried even! I wish I would of been there to see and for the party! Jenna said she would call me after school and she did and said that he went potty 6 times!!! So when I got him off the bus we were all excited and went inside and to the bathroom! He took down

his pants and stood there and peed! So I got the potty chart out that I have been saving and I don't know how much he understood but I explained that every time he makes potty and/or poopy in there he will get a little car and a sticker goes on his chart! It is a wonderful start for sure! I asked about yesterday abd he said he did not go but then again he will say things like that just to avoid talking about it! I tried to have him go on Thurs a few times and he would only want to stay there for a second and was done and wanted nothing more to do woth it! I tried this am and he resisted! I asked him if he was going to go to school and go potty for Miss Jenna, Miss le, Miss and Miss Jermese! And you know what he said to me? No I don't think so! Maybe later! His way of putting me off! Well at least we are off to a good start! Maybe if I make it like a game now and do the cherrio thing that might work some at this point!StacieSent

I do know we are in trouble... As my NT daughter was 4 when she was trained...had abosolutely no desire. In her two yr old mdo she was the one standing in her princess pullups handing out all the stickers to her friends who were "going on the potty mommy." Too cute. She is something else...I know I've said this before, but I really thought she's be 16 on a date in princess pull-ups...OK I know OT. But wanted to tell you that mine was way late...only 2 % of NT kids potty train after 4...well there you go. is a long way off, and I have a tiny feeling it's going to be awhile...

Awe thanks e! I talked to Jenna though and she said he has went a couple times since but only a tiny bit and that it seems to be stressing him out now! And at home he won't go for me either! Well it will happen! I know that! I am just so proud of him about Wed!StacieSent via BlackBerry by AT&TDate: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 16:07:31 -0700 (PDT)To: <AutismBehaviorProblems >Subject: Re: This is precious Stacie...I love hearing this stuff.
