After not seeing Ryan for three days the progress he made was quite noticeable. He affectionately greeted me this morning with smiles and hugs and he was truly happy to see me. His sentences make more sense and are more complex than they have ever been. He's interested in things going on around him, and he is developing a sense of humor.
We ran into a few odd food incidents today. During mid morning he was craving bread. He ate two slices of rice bread, toasted, and then asked for two more. I made him two more slices realizing he must have been hungry since he didn't eat a very good breakfast (2 bowls of cereal had to be thrown out because he refused to eat them with the soy milk and the rice milk). After his fourth slice he continued to want more and broke down into several small meltdowns. We made him one more slice. Then in the afternoon he craved bananas. He ate three bananas today! He tried for a fourth this evening just before bed but we told him 'no' and he could have it in the morning; he accepted that compromise. However, he continued to talk about the banana as we went through his bedroom routine and tucked him into bed.
He looks thinner to me. I will weigh him tomorrow and see if he has lost weight in the past week.

We began this blog to share our experiences placing our son Ryan on a gluten-free, casein-free,(and now egg-free) diet. The diet is one part of the healing process we have in place to rid his body of toxins and improve his Autism Spectrum behaviors. We hope that someday our stories will help other families who have chosen to follow this diet. Over time the blog grew into much more than that. We are sharing just about everything that goes on with Ryan while he's on his road to recovery!
