It was all coincidental. We had DD#2 tested because of behavioral issues, took her off the 39 food items that she tested sensitive to, took the whole household off Wheat and Dairy and stuck to it for 6 months.

Suddenly, DD#1 started getting straight "A"s and quit fighting me about homework.

Suddenly, DD#3's eczema cleared up.

We kept that strict diet for 6 months or so and then started phasing in dairy. Still kept everyone off wheat. DD#3 broke out again. Other two, no change.

After 12 months it finally dawned on me that no-one had gotten so much as a sniffle UNTIL they visited relatives that did not support my looney dietary restrictions. DD#1 stayed at cousins for the weekend, loving aunt prepared a big batch of cinnamon rolls for breakfast Sunday. Monday morning she slept until I forced her to get up (usual self imposed wakeup time about 5:30 AM) Couldn't find her shoes, homework, breakfast, melted down twice and had a rotten week at school. Recovered and voila! Sweet daughter again.

DD#2 showed no behavioral changes that we could see, but with all her issues maybe that's just to be expected. One thing though, when shes sick she's off her meds and getting her back on track after is an ordeal for me and her teachers. About 6 weeks ago we did a wheat test over a weekend. Seemed okay, did it the next weekend. DDs#2&3 got flu-like sypmtons. Fever and vomiting. DD#1 got snarky. Last weekend DH got all manly and Anti-Diet and took them to McDonalds. She threw up all Saturday and has been lethargic and sleeping constantly (2-3 long naps and all night). Had to take her off all meds and here it is her first week of school. Sigh.

Good enough evidence for me even if it took a long time and alot of arguments to accomplish.

Wow.

Just, wow.

I don't know if we could go wheat free. DH would probably leave me.

The house is at a stand still. Its been miserable to get financing because the house is so old and the actual acreage doesnt justify the loan amount needed. The seller thinks he has a gold mine even though the house has been on the market for almost three years. We are letting the seller stew and figure in a couple of months he'll contact the realtor (who is a friend) and maybe at that point we can work out a deal. I am willing to play the waiting game because I love the house and when I walked into it, it felt like home and that I should be there. So tick tock tick tock we shall see......
 
Mcfly I understand diet restriction. When my DD was in fifth grade she started having focal point seizures. Medications were not helping. So we went to UofP and she was placed in a research study. They basically placed her on the atkins diet (No carbs, no sugars). After 7 years it reset her metabolism. She still has to be careful but she's been seizure free for several years now. And she can have some carbs and sugars but if she eats it in excess then she can tell if a seizure is coming on. A lot of my DH's family didnt believe in the diet and it was a struggle when the holidays would come around. ((HUGS)) to you and your DD's.

Wow. Amen Clinic would like to see her go low carb too. I'm on board but DH pitched a fit. He's still hoping there's a magic bullet. I tried to explain that it's LAYERS of therapy, meds, diet, parental interaction... one thing along is not going to help this child. Layers.
