From both the information presented there and the forums, there is clearly a wide range of effects from food intolerance. <br /><br />My own 4 year-old son has suffered eczema, asthma, poor sleep and ADHD and ODD type behaviour, and having discovered this website and adjusted his diet accordingly, all of these problems have lessened considerably. We are about to embark on a full RPAH elimination to find out exactly what he reacts to and how much he is able to tolerate.<br /><br />I have been slightly loathe to pursue this avenue as it means cutting out lots of foods and flavours we love (I am also an advocate of wholefoods and lean towards a paleo diet). However, it really seems to make a difference. By the way, they have published various books and , in particular, a really useful DVD. Sorry to go on so, but having made the discovery I tend to evangelise a bit..Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368260069308594150.post-73408912353479149742013-05-06T11:19:15.418-04:002013-05-06T11:19:15.418-04:00Excellent share and n=1 summary!

Surprisingly, buckwheat is a great grain. We also do green smoothies for breakfast now as my son no longer suffers from food intolerance like he used to. I also make my own water kefir grains so that I can get some good ferments into his bowel to assist with healing leaky gut. The awareness of salicylates among the general community is growing and that's a positive thing for parents who have children with special needs. Great you are putting the word out there like I am. :-)<br /><br />Stay well, Eileen.Eileenhttp://www.thenewsonfood.com/salicylate-intolerance-symptomsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368260069308594150.post-56626533228642545172013-04-12T16:53:16.232-04:002013-04-12T16:53:16.232-04:00Hi, Jess!!

I'd also recommend that you check out the recent post by Georgia Ede MD for information on histamine intolerance - <a href="http://bit.ly/1591g8g" rel="nofollow">high-histamine foods include processed meats</a><br /><br />Good luck sleuthing the source of your husband's asthma-related issues!AOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03063561228813908439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368260069308594150.post-21934190210284481142013-04-12T10:53:53.688-04:002013-04-12T10:53:53.688-04:00Thank you!

When you mentioned almonds being high in salicylates, I realized that salicylates are probably the missing link we've been looking for with my husband's health. He's asthmatic, with a severe aspirin allergy. Almonds and processed meats are two things we'd already identified as causing attacks. It'll take some adjustment, with olive oil and coconut products being staples for us currently, and most of our favorite spices being high salicylate. But it's good to finally have a really plausible explanation!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328690573497740726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368260069308594150.post-54186797319314850492013-04-12T09:55:20.920-04:002013-04-12T09:55:20.920-04:00We are always on the lookout for foods that cause ...We are always on the lookout for foods that cause me to have painful gut irritation. My kids on the other hand, besides when they are with grandma and grandpa (who feed them everything horrible under the sun), have no such problems. We recently reintroduced white rice into our diets for added carbs (my husband and I are both athletes) and may now work on some other grains as well, such as buckwheat and wild rice. It's still a slow process, but the kids are happy to have some carbs back! Previously (before going Paleo a year ago) they would never touch rice, now it's a treat they cherish!Elizabeth Nylandhttp://guiltykitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368260069308594150.post-63677218281144517052013-04-11T22:46:18.351-04:002013-04-11T22:46:18.351-04:00You are truly amazing.

I am truly inspired by the work you are doing to achieve the best nutritional balance for your child. Glad to hear that slowly the pieces of the puzzle seem to be revealing themselves. Hoping that she stays healthy and happy on her new changed diet.

Low carb dieting is potentially dangerous for a child when fruit and honey is eliminated on GAPS. Buckwheat, however, is not dangerous. :)Dawn Tasherhttp://www.peelingbacktheonionlayers.comnoreply@blogger.com
