Anxiety and kids

[Mermaid02]

Well, my son was 50 minutes late, but he made it to school and stayed all day. I'm hoping tomorrow will be better.

I can't believe you said this. My ds (almost 10) has anxiety issues and lately has become extremely moody and we have tried to pay attention to what he was eating before some of his episodes and narrowed it down to when he eats someting sugar-y. He also has many allergies, so I think I'm going to call his allergist and ask about being allergic to something in the sugar. Was your ds tested specifically for white sugar? Thanks for posting this for the OP.

Not one ped doctor made the decision or even CARED about the nutritional aspects of my child's behavior. My bet is they make more money from the pharmaceutical companies.

I actually went to this nutritionist for MY health issues. I had lost 75 pounds and had constant diarrhea. I was lacking in iron and dehydrated. My doctors put me on every medication possible and I got no better.

This doctor suggested I separate my proteins from my carbs. I was better in TWO WEEKS!

Sometimes the worst in us is due to an intolerance to something in our environment. Unfortunately we get band aids instead of life changes. My son does eat a little sugar now, but only at night before he goes to sleep and never before dealing with school or people. He's 17 and he's been off white sugar since he was 10. In those years he went from special ed to and AB student. I even had his TEACHERS thanking me!

Thank you all for sharing your heart-wrenching stories! I have a 6 yo w some of these probs-c/o stomach pain;esp as he's stressing school next week-he also has issues w eating.

Because of this thread I will be monitoring these symptoms more closely.

Thank you all again!
And hugs to all of you!
