UPDATE: 11/4/03 Ben is still doing good, we are keeping him on the 80% live/fresh veg and fruits per day. Everything is still coming thru his system like it should and still no laxatives or stimulants. Another side effect is, his whole Central Nervous System is calming down. He doesn’t self stem as much as he used to and if he does it is easy to redirect him.
We are also having to make sure that he gets LOTS of exercise everyday, pushing his wagon around, riding his special tricycle, swinging on the swing, walking, rough housing and tumbling. Some nights he doesn’t sleep all night but all you have to do is get in bed with him turn his favorite CD on “Sting†“Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot†and he will go right back to sleep. No more fussing or fighting, pinching or biting!!!! We suspect some foods interfere with his system and are trying to figure out which ones they are. NO, the allergy test showed he wasn’t allergic to anything so that was a dead end! But, he does have problems with some foods whether they showed up on the test or not. I will update again next week.
