Finding out what Foods your child is sensitive to...

Every One has a Food Sensitivity.... but it's crucial to our children.

Getting a IgE testing done is KEY!!!

Little did I know, I was feeding Foster Peanut Butter, Eggs, Soy, Berries etc, EVERY DAY & he was sensitive to these!!!!

This means that your child is eating something that they can't process well & therefore while they are ALREADY trying to process every day world.. they are eating things they CAN NOT HANDLE!!!

If you think about this... when " I" eat Mexican, "MY FAVORITE" Later I feel Sluggish.
I just want to Not think, take a nap etc;
Well this is what our children are up against!!
Just by Eliminating these food from your child diet, is CRUCIAL!!!!


This also help confirm our decision to be on The GF/CF diet.. he was sensitive to WHEAT< MILK

YOU DON"T HAVE TO GET SHOTS!!!!!!

Yes.... You heard me.... YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET SHOTS!!!!!

Every parent thinks that our children HAVE to get shots in order for school.

The school has to have the shot records..... WELL THINK AGAIN!!!!

If you go to your local DHEC & get a " Religious Exemption". They won't ask you any Q's.

Just child's info, ss#, DOB etc;

This certificate is good till your child turns 18 & he/ she can make their own Choice.

How awesome is that??!?!?!

Getting your child to EAT!!!

A lot of our kids are picky eaters.... ESPECIALLY if they are on GF/CF diet.

Well, don't give up.... There is a therapy called "Food Aversion Therapy".

Here @ Palmetto Health most of the Speech Pathologist are trained in it.

And my family Praises "Edie Hunt" , She is our miracle worker!!!

Foster used to not eat Chicken, ground beef, peas, carrots, corn, French toast sticks,Spaghetti, Turkey meat, hot dogs etc;

Thanks to Food Aversion therapy Foster can eat... it's amazing!!!

Here's the info :

Palmetto Health

Ask for your child to get" Food Aversion Therapy " list

If you don't live here ask your local Speech or OT... Who knows, they might can help.

Good LUCK!

Here is a picture of Our Sweet Angel....


School

Okay.... let's keep it real.... we need all the help we can get!!!

The school system, where our kids are in a structural environment.. is GREAT!!!

Getting Through an IEP meeting is another thing.....

Make sure you set HIGH goals... I mean you want your child to recieve ALL the help he can ...

So make goals that you want little Johnny to hold a conversation w/ another child for at least 3 minutes... typical kids can talk your ear off... so why shouldn't we want that.....

If there are certain wants your husband wants... for example,my husband want Foster to learn how to play soccer.. just contact w/ foot & ball... therapy goal. Ride a tri- cycle.... be able to ask your child Q's & have them answer you... not repeat you... ANSWER YOU!!!!

Any other thing you desire....
