Well the pizza that we were all worried about turned into a big nothing. We made his own pizza and he took three bites and wanted to watch a show. He never asked for the take out pizza. Even Julia only took a few bites and then went to watch the show with Ryan. We will have to try Chinese food to see if we have the same luck. He used to eat an entire order of fried dumplings if we let him!
Today he spent the entire day at Day care and we had to pack his own lunch. According to daycare he had no problems with the food and ate the whole helping of corn pasta. He came running into the house today to show me his new prize box toy. If he gets five stars on his chart then he gets to pick a small prize out of the prize box. He gets a star if he remains on the "happy" side of the behavior chart. It was always depressing for us to look at the chart before the diet and see all the other children with stars and Ryan having none. He would have several meltdowns a day and rarely receive a star. Today he received two stars and that gave him enough to get a prize. He is now sleeping with his small helicopter. While this is not his first prize out of the box, this was the first prize the he was truly happy and proud to have!

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!
