Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Do any of you use either of these diet with your dc? If so which one and how would you recommend that I get started.
Thanks,
Darlene

We follow the Feingold diet with our youngest who was diagnosed with mild PDD-NOS last fall. We have used it for the past two years, not always strictly, but we definitely see a connection between our son's behavior and how he is eating. We mostly try to stay away from artificial flavors and coloring. We do try to limit the amount of sugar our boys eat, but we are not following a sugar-free diet.

To get started with Feingold, you can visit www.feingold.org. In the meantime, you could start a food diary, and keep track of what your daughter eats through the day, noting her behavior and any physical reactions afterward.

Darlene,

We use the ideas of the Feingold diet as well, because it just seems healthier. So we try very hard to limit, but can't seem to totally eliminate, foods with coloring, artificial anything, or preservatives. Now sugar...that's another thing, but when we're really on the ball, we just make everything from scratch. At least I know how much sugar is going into things and can choose the type (raw, honey, etc.). Learning about the Feingold diet really got me to read, read, read food labels!
