My Beautiful Boy

We started the wheat free, sugar free and color free diet on Thursday but as yet I don’t think there is any difference.  Corey is also taking the supplements suggested by the naturopath.  They say it can take a while before noticing any difference though as it takes a while to flush everything out of their system.

Corey has actually had a few reasonably good days and then today he went bad again.  I really wish I could pinpoint what it is that makes him worse on some days than on others.

I have gone on this diet myself as well as putting Ben and Lachlan on it too.  I did this for two reasons, firstly to make it easier for Corey so he doesn’t have to watch us eating things that he can’t eat and secondly just to see if we feel any benefits from this diet.  Although we don’t have as obvious behavior issues like Corey, it is still possible we may be sensitive to some foods that we are eating but we may have more subtle symptoms.  So it will be very interesting to see how we all go.

Lachlan is the worst one and as he is only six he doesn’t really understand why all of a sudden he has to stop eating his favourite foods.  I’m sure he will get use to it soon enough though, Ben is being very good about it and so is Corey actually.  He will actually ask me if something is ok for him to eat and if it contains wheat or not, he really does want to get better.

Anyway, I will keep updating on our progress and hopefully my next post might bring some good news on the diet results front.

Take care
