Day 3 - wow!!!
I posted last week (Friday) about how panicked I was about beginningthis diet and how I couldn’t even imagine…I was drawn to finding outinformation about the diet after my son’s teacher told me that he hadhead banged on Friday…that had never happened before. We have seensome recent changes in him after a recent ear infection that requiredtwo antibiotics (Omnicef) and then Biaxin (to which we ended earlybecause of an apparent allergic reaction - hives).
I started by simply eliminating milk, cheese, yogurt etc. on Saturdaymorning - cold turkey. We have allowed soy milk (just to see) andtoday I saw it’s effects.
When greeted when I picked my soon to be 3 yr. old ASD son up at hisMothers Day Out Program I walked in the door and he excitedlysaid “Mommy!!” He went to the coat rack and grabbed his jacket andsaid “Bye” to his teachers as I helped him with his coat. Then hegrabbed my hand to show me the Felt Turkey’s they had played with - soI asked him what the Turkey says…usually I end up answering it forhim (as with all other animal sounds) and he said “GOBBLE GOBBLE!”
I left with his hand in mine crying…his teacher cried too…
I can’t believe it…

What a great story
Thanks for sharing it. I was wondering ifyou’d started your son on probiotics after his rounds ofantibiotics. That would be an important thing to do. Sorry, Idon’t want to take away from your good news, but I thought I shouldask about that.
