While the diet seems to be working great his skin stills is so dry and scratchy. We had hoped by this time we would be seeing a change in his skin. Some people suggest removing food high in Phenols. We seem to be getting a good handle on the GF/CF food and he is doing such a great job with the new diet. Having a new set of food that we have to watch for is going to be another challenge.
Ryan is doing such a great job with the food he has even told other people that he can not have certain foods. Today in daycare they were having Goldfish for a snack. The teacher was in such a rush getting the snacks out for the other children she forgot and gave Ryan a plate of Goldfish. He went up to the teacher and told her that he can not have Goldfish and that he wanted his special snacks. Even at four years old, he is recognizing what types of food that he wants and can have. We often wonder if he recognizes the effect that the diet is having on himself and what he was before the diet.
We have also been noticing that his memory is greatly improving. He is hearing songs on the car radio and singing them. He never did this before. He is also telling us the songs that they are singing in school, which is also a first. We attribute this to the diet and also the supplements that Dr. Bock had prescribed for Ryan.
The only bad thing today was that I had to pick him up early from day care because of the croup. He was coughing badly and was withdrawing from others. He has been doing so well, we decided that we were not going to push it. His regular doctor prescribed a liquid steroid to help with the coughing and it seems to help. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for him.
