My #3 mouthed objects when he ate foods and/or supplements he did not tolerate, or when he had a yeast problem. Many kids mouth objects because they are too-low zinc.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Your little one sounds identical to my little one at the same age. This was 3 1/2 years ago. Prior to knowledge about enzymes and probiotics, etc. We went GFCF, and I mean completly. It was devasting in its' difficulty, and because of his cravings we had to remove all gluten and casein from the house, and adopt his diet ourselves. Very Difficult. However, immediatly, within 2 days of this new diet, my son slept through the night for the first time ( I would get up and check on him to make sure he was still breathing, like when he was an infant in his crib, so soundly did he sleep) and he had his first solid bowel movement ever. We were able to potty train a short while later and it only took a week to work the kinks out of potty training. Bought Dr.'s Azrins and Fox book on potty training mentally disabled individuals. Anyway. As time and issues marched on, he " became more sensitive to " or I " became aware of a pre-existing sensitivity to " more and more foods. Enzymes saved us. My son can now have oats ( gluten), yogurt casein or whey not sure), and bananas ( before would cause explosivly bad behavior and bowels). If I had it to do over again, and I might, as I'm 5 mo. pregnant. The second time around I would go GFCFSF and modified SCD and Feingold. I would then use enzymes in the diet for a few months and then one by one add back foods to watch for reactions. I'm also going to nurse longer than a year this time, and use enzymes while I nurse, but that's a different issue. Good luck to you. I know those sleep patterns are a killer for parents. My son would sleep 3-4 hours a night prior to the GFCF diet and stopped taking naps at about 14mo. My husband use to remind me that people die of sleep deprivation before they die of starvation. start up help > Hello group. This is my first post, but I have been around reading > for a while now.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 My daughter had a terrible time transitioning. If you haven't already get his eyes checked just to rule that out. No one recommended it to me to do so I never know if others have done it or not. She made tremendous changes just by getting glasses (who wouldn't:)). Best Wishes! Becky > Hello group.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I second the recommendation for glasses and/or eye exercises. That helped my son totally overcome his trouble with transitions..
