emotional outbursts, growing pains, new diet

Littleroses,

thanks so much for the info, I will definitely be checking out BCAA's!

I have also heard PANDAS mentioned a few times from different sources/message boards, and with the issue of his recurring strep I will search further into that as well.

Thanks to all who posted replies.

not too bad once you get the hang of it, it's easier now than when we started. The upside is that we are now all eating healthier meals, even if we don't all stick strictly to the diet. Definitely worth it--I can either spend my time cleaning up feces and him having all the upset and problems that go with it, or spend my time baking and cooking. Not too hard to choose! I am hoping that as with some, after a year or so healing will take place in the gut and colon and maybe we can reintroduce some forbidden foods.
Thanks for your support.
