Need a BIG pep talk

[Guest guest]

Let me reintroduce myself. I lurked on the board during the spring

and asked a few questions here in there preparing to put my 5yo son

on the diet. The emails became overwhelming so I left until the

summer (when I decided would be easier to start the diet). Now I

have cold feet and need to be pushed off the diving board so to

speak!!! Caleb is 5yo and is very high functioning and dx with

asperger's syndrome. His biggest issue is oral sensitivity and we

see an OT weekly. I am now introducing the SCD legal foods through

OT and it has not been easy. I've been waiting for the perfect time

to start and have come to realize there is no good time so I will set

a day and go " cold turkey. " caleb has a bloated belly most of the

time but no diarrhea and no tummy pain. He has tested allergic to

corn, eggs, dairy, wheat to name the biggies. He has been gluten

free casein free for almost 2 years. He has been a champ about not

eating any illegal foods and I just feel terrible to take away his

coveted mcdonalds fries and golden flake potato chips .

Any advice or moral support would be greatly appreciated!!!
