WOW!!

Hi All!

Two days ago at dinner, I had to STOP giving my son (3, ASD) NF because we

ran out, and we are waiting for our order to arrive. Of course I've

continued to give him the ZP, and AFP Pep. at full doses at each meal.

Well, yesterday at dnner, he was having his usual ONE THING (the one and

only thing he eats on a regular basis), but at the suggestion of our feeding

expert, which we just started seeing,I had gotten some applesauce, very

smooth, in one of those convenient one serving containers, and have been

putting it in " his space " NOT directly in front of him, but it was clearly

his, with a spoon, laying beside it. Been doing this for two days or so as

well. Anyway, last night, he put the spoon in the applesauce, then started

bringing the spoon to his mouth, and licking the applesauce off the spoon.

He did this for a good 15 minutes, dipping the spoon back into the

applesauce and licking off the spoon. This is a boy who has NEVER touched,

let alone tasted fruit in his ENTIRE LIFE!! Well, after dinner was over,

a little later on, he took an apple off the counter, that my other son had

taken a bite of, and started licking it at the place where it had been

bitten. THEN, he saw some green beans on my plate that I hadn't yet gotten

a chance to clean up, and he picked one up, and looked at it, THEN HE TASTED

IT!! OK, I cannot even tell you about his thing with " green " anything.

Until now, if you even presented any kind of green food to him, be it candy,

be it fruit, be it ANYTHING, he would cringe in fear, and run away

literally!! ALL OF THIS IS SO HUGE!! I HAD TO SHARE MY JOY!!! I hope this

" food thing " continues, I'm just trying to figure out why, really, any

thoughts?

We had originally started giving him NF to counter the hyperness that the ZP

caused during our intro period. I had just kept giving it to him though,

because I thought he had a phenol problem, but now after reanalyzing it, my

husband and I think, probably not, because he doesn't show any of the signs

of it anymore, like he used too. So, I think I'm just going to continue

giving him the ZP, and the AFP Pep. and just keep the NF for reserve, just

in case I might need it, does that sound good?

We've also seen a lot of other nice changes over all in the last few days,

and really, I'm not sure what to attribute that to, could be the enzymes!!

Thanks for listening and letting me share! Any and all advice is

appreciated!
