I haven't written in a while because nothing has changed.  They still do the same exercises and she hasn't shown any dramatic improvement. She keeps leveling up in the same things she has been doing.   I had the nutrition consult today.  She has to cut out dairy, eggs and malt.  If dairy or eggs are a minor ingredient then it is okay to consume it.  Minor is defined as not being listed on the package in the first four ingredients.  In four weeks we can challenge her with dairy for one day, wait 3 days, challenge her with eggs, wait 3 days and challenge her with malt.

I had told Dr. Naumann that she doesn't seem tired, but today she had a farewell to dairy day and consumed a lot.  Ice cream, yogurt, chocolate milk and stuffed shells with cheese may have been the reason she couldn't even do 5 sit ups and didn't even try push ups today.  It will be interesting to see if there is a change in her with eliminating these foods.  I'll find out on Monday what supplements they recommend.

I wasn't going to tell her I was a nutritionist, but when she broke out the Kreb's cycle and started to explain it to me, I just couldn't take it any more.  It did speed up the consult, which is a good thing when you have a roaming three year old.

So we went to Disney World for spring break with the intention of doing the Brain Balance exercises.  That didn't happen.  She went up another level in proprioception today. I didn't have much of a chance to talk to her about what they did today, so I will post that later.

Waiting room talk:  A mother was telling me about the effect the nutritional changes has had on her son.  He was diagnosed with an intolerance to milk and eggs after doing the labs.  They cut out all dairy and eggs and he immediately started having a lot more energy.  Before he was normally found lying on the couch and rubbing his face like some do when they are tired.  Every three months they can reintroduce dairy to see if he is still intolerant (he is already okay to eat eggs now).  If he goes back to his old sleepy ways, they take him off of the dairy again.  Eventually his body and brain should mature enough to where he is no longer intolerant to dairy and he will no longer have diet restrictions.

Dairy seems to be the common factor among the ADHD group.  Several of the autistic children have a lot more eliminations which include gluten.  We should be taking our daughter to do labs this week.  I think she will just kill over if she finds out she can't have Nesquik milk.
