Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 My experience has been that it took YEARS. But had I known about adding zinc to help with appetite and taste flexibility, it might not have taken that long. I found that you have to break the taste and smell comparisons. This can take months because the brain has a very good memory of smell (normally). If they are smelling foods at school that is tough too. Also, if others in the family are eating gluten foods, the smells will still be present and the comparison may take longer to break. I went gluten-free with the whole family when we initially started with my son. We all felt better on it. No asking – just do it. Here’s a great resource that Gen Rescue just put out in the newsletter: http://www.generationrescue.org/resource/implementing-GFCF-diet.htm HTH Heidi J From: mb12 valtrex [mailto:mb12 valtrex ] On Behalf Of Arrowood Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 4:00 PM To: mb12 valtrex Subject: Re: Re: What do your kids eat? So how many days/weeks did your go before they would eat meat and veggies and fruit? I mean the diet wouldn't be hard if he actually ate any of those things. Just wondering at what point does starvation kick in enough to make food a priority? To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Monday, June 8, 2009 11:09:55 PM Subject: Re: What do your kids eat? That's what I thought at first. People do it though and their kids are better for it. Mine does not have a corn problem. Our diet is mostly fresh or steamed fruits and vegetables, organic meats (or meats with no nitrates or anything added, preferably no antibiotics/ hormones) , organic rice, duck eggs, potatoes. When you get the allergens out, they start gaining weight and thriving! No more sensory issues, no more poop problems, no more dark circles, lots of things go away! It's amazing when you read these message boards and thing " oh yeah, my son hasn't done that in awhile " . I hope you all get there, but it was the FOOD for us. --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
