Hi all, Need some advice. I am embarrassed in a way, I replied to a post stating that ds9 is on the Feingold program. Now the Doc. just called to say she strenuously suggest that ds9 needs to use the meds. Although his db10 doesn't use them anymore and is doing ok. ds9 is not an Autie either. He seems to be unaffected by the feingold lately. Very distracted. I am conflicted, he is gaining weight and sleeping better although he is unable to concetrate, mouthy, and wild.  HELP!!!! Hope One of these days will calm down soon. It is crazy crazy lately. peace, Christina |

Hey Christina, food to see ya back.
I have a thread in the natural alts section. In it Catatonic said that some of the children still take medication even with Feingold, they just take a lower amount then they had previously taken.
Don't be embarrassed. What do yo uthink? Do you want to have him taking medication again? If so, it might be a good thing that can go hand in hand with Feingold. With the elimination of the artificials, your son"s medicine might be able to digest differently, and the desired result might be gotten.
That is based only off of what I have thought personally, it isn't medical or professional or anything else.
Take Care
Kaiti

Kaiti; Thanks so much. You answered my next question. I was wondering if he could still be on the program and maybe take a lower dose of the meds. That helps so much.  Have a peaceful day, Christina |

Any kind of adjustments can be benificial. The allergist that we had taken Mikey to had said that everything effects behavior. As he was explaining to us, he said to picture yourself in a meeting and being hungry. You look at your watch, and don't really pay attention because you are so focused on what you are going to eat when you get out of the meeting....you miss things. Make sure if he is hungry he eats, just make sure that the eating isn't a distraction to something else. I already got on Mikey because of course he heard the doctor say that and so everytime he was supposed to be doing homework or somehting, he would SWEAR he was starving  Even though he ate 5 minutes before hand  Good luck |

 Christina !! Kaiti's suggestion sounds to me too like the very best solution ... a combination of the TWO ... a sort of TWO PRONGED attack!! ... BOTH interventions hopefully helping the other along ... Please let us know how it goes !!

How have things been going Christina?
I can say that we let Mikey go over the summer without Feingold.......hehehehe lucky he is still here...oh the biggest mistake for us.
BUT that isn't for everyone remember. Even a slight thing here or a tweak there can make the difference, dont' rule out anything that you think might help.
