i’ve never heard of that diet (but i read the link), however, i’ve been reading a lot about add and autism lately, and those conditions have diets that are usually found to improve the child dramatically, if not “cure” them, as far as the parents are concerned! there seem to be 2 responses to the diet: 1) “sounds too hard to try: all my kid eats is dairy and wheat, so how could i remove those things?” or 2) “the diet is challenging at times, but it saved our family’s life. sometimes when we slip on the diet, our child regresses and we are reminded all over again how much better all of our lives are when we stick to the diet.” this is just what i’ve read, though for #1 i know several women who have said this to me. its hard to judge them for not trying, because you don’t know what its like to walk in their shoes. i can’t imagine going through what you are right now, and being pregnant and working on top of it all!! once you find the right combination of drugs to help jade and you get back to ‘normal’ life for a while, perhaps you will try the diet to see both how it works for her and to see if you can handle keeping her on it.

i am praying for you all; lots of love and hugs!

Best of luck with the new medicines. I have heard GREAT things about that diet (in terms of it working; though I think it’s not always easy to stick to), so it might be worth trying. (((hugs)))

Hope you got your good night of sleep that you needed.

My son has epilepsy, and began having seizures several days after getting home from the hospital. He is on medication and we have been able to keep the seizures under control.

It is always a challenge when you have a child that has special needs.

My family’s thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Hope you managed to get a good nights sleep, despite everything.
I keep checking to see if you and your family can get things “righted up” and even if that diet seems to be pretty tough, maybe that’s soemthing to try. I’m not about to give you advise – just want you to know I care. So much.
