dairy and behaviour?,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi...I just lost the last post that I composed..ugh. Anyhow, I am posting for some help for my 5 year old. He is a dairy lover. He loves milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, and soy milk too. He is a pretty good little guy. But he can be some of the following - hyper (more so lately), brain fog, difficult to reason with, melt downs, focussing issues (teachers want to identify him), has had delayed speech, the school says memory issues, fidgetty. Now, I do know that there are many reasons that all of the above happens but due to his love of dairy I am wondering if that may be it. Is there testing that can be done to determine or is the best method elimination? There may be others that I am not listing but you get a sense of what I am talking about. I have just recently started reading that dairy can be a culprit of what I am talking about, especially for someone who craves it. Is this right? Has anyone else taken dairy out of your child's diet and noticed improvements? how long before you notice changes? It's a scarey thought at removing it as he does love it, and it is a pretty large staple. I would have to remove it from everyones diet for now as well. I am guessing you cut it out cold turkey for a few weeks? what kinds of things to use as alternatives? If you can share any successes with dairy elimination that would be great...and thank you.
