Just Beginning...

We are on day 3 of starting the supplements required for chelation. In addition, we are also radically changing his diet as a result of the allergy tests. Right now, he is on "drainage complex", a homeopathic formula, and nystatin (to help control yeast growth in the gut).
He's already a very picky eater, and we are now taking away most of the things that he enjoys. Fortunately, the tests came back fine on gluten, so we don't have to remove all wheat. All dairy/casein is out though, so we get to try rice milk and lots of other not-so-yummy stuff. As much as possible, we are going to try and do this diet with him; I'm sure it will help us eat healthier and it's just too hard to keep food in the house that he can't eat.

I remember when he went on gfcf before, a couple of years ago, cheese was a major issue. We never did find a decent casein-free cheese. Hopefully someone's figured that out by now... the search is on!
