Can a vitamin(animal parade) make you more hungry or is it yeast?

Goat

Thanks for the response. I was just wondering about trying to addsomething new. I know my son has an issue with so I will justavoid the product. I also try to keep his food like the rest of us.Lately, my daughter has enjoyed bagels and and yogart inher lunch and my son noticed, so I was looking for somethingcomparable.

Rice cakes & bagels

I’ve been looking on the gfcfdiet website, trying to find which rice cakes areacceptable. (I’m trying to find an alternative to my son’s belovedsaltine/peanut butter crackers I pack in his lunch box — maybe mini-rice cakesand p.b?)Anyway, I can’t seem to find rice cakes in any category!If memory serves me correctly, I’m thinking that it’s Quaker brand miniapple-cinnamon variety?Thanks for your help!And, to whomever recommended Enjoy Life brand frozen cinnamon-raisin bagels toreplace my son’s Lender’s — it worked! Although, I didn’t think it would,because they LOOK so different from the original.

Tofutti ice cream

Aside from the sugar content, is brand “ice cream” ok? Itappears to be, but I worry I might be missing something. Are thereany other brands that taste ok and are safe? My daughter won’t eatsorbets.

Leda bars

Has anyone tried these? Are they good?

Thanks.

Enzymes and reflux

Can you take too many digestive enzymes? My son has a bumps all over his backand I’m not sure what is going on with his system. He is 8. He has a terribletime with food and is on a rotation diet.

My son is also have a terrible time with relux…does anyone have anyexperience with this???? He does not do well with medications so we’ve beenhoping to remedy this naturally…I’m just not getting anywhere. We’veeliminated foods related to reflux, moved dinner time to an earlier time, &elevated his bed. I’ve recently tried a product called Acid Smooth, but it hasnot helped.

He is taking a (Udos I believe) and takes digestive enzymes.

Thanks so much!!!!

Focusing on other

My 9 year old adopted son’s main prob is FASD, but he has alot of others aswell. He doesn’t have all the criteria for Asperger’s Spectrum because he isnot anti-social. Butttt, I say he has LOTS of “AS Tendancies”.

One thing he is doing right now that drives me crazy is…

Focusing on other’s bad language.As a family we don’t like bad language, but it’s all around us. He ALWAYStells me when he hears it and WHERE he hears it and WHO says it.

HOW CAN I GET HIM TO STOP FOCUSING ON IT?

Gfcf gelt

Like the holidays weren’t hard enough without milk chocolate! Hasanyone run across GFCF gelt in their travels? (It’s the foil-wrappedchocolate coins for Hannukah) I’d be grateful!

Diet

I am trying to start my son on a milk free diet for four days. Thenmaybe the wheat free milk free one. I have a ton of questions. I havelooked on the back of boxes of cereal and they don’t list any milkproducts so are they ok? Are there any that are alreadyout there like regular items you would buy now or do you have to buylitterally everything special made? What about drinks and so forth?How do you afford to buy everything special? And what about calcium?Where do they get that from now. My son will not take orpills or anything like that. Help.
