Hi. We recently went to Colorado for a family vacation. We had a great time! Ben really loved riding the train through the Royal Gorge. He kept saying, 'ride Thomas?'. Thomas the Train is his newest love. We play, watch it on TV, etc... he loves trains!
The last week has been rough. Ben has been a little "off", we're just not quite sure what it is. It's been hard to hold his attention, get his attention, and to get him to focus. His self-stimulation has also been somewhat alarming. We're just not sure what's causing all of that!
Today was our first day of the GFCF diet- which means Gluten-free and casein-free (no wheat, no milk). It's tough. There's so little he can actually eat! But we are adapting and have come to the conclusion that we will just have to get everything at the health food store. We had already been doing the casein-free (milk) part, but we are now adding the wheat part too. We had an appointment with a nutritionist last week from Austin- and she recommended that we try the GFCF diet for 3 months. If we don't notice enough change to warrant the diet- we won't continue. We also added some more supplements and we making sure that Ben is getting everything he needs in his diet. At the end of July we will meet with the bio-medical doctor in Austin.
