So we started the strict elimination diet on both our children and within three days we noticed an improvement. Our little girl whose name we'd call repeatedly, but she wouldn't hear us (called 'foggy brain'), would suddenly turn around and say 'Yes Mum?', her tics were less severe, her behaviour improved 200%, the night terrors and night sweats stopped and she was tolerating her environment much better. For our son, the leg pains stopped and he became less restless. We sought professional guidance from a dietitian familiar with the RPAH diet to help us through the challenges and in the end found that both children were intolerant to all additives, moderate to high amines and glutamates, high salicylates and our son was also dairy and egg intolerant. Under the recommendation from our paediatrician, we sought professional assistance to help our daughter manage her anxiety and learn some behavioural strategies. An all encompassing approach is critical to supporting the sensitive child, especially if they have a number of cognitive issues, diet is imperative, however, it needs to be implemented in conjunction with therapy, plenty of physical activity, minimal screen time and if necessary, medication. In food sensitive children who are medicated for inattentive ADHD, the chemicals in the food interfere with the neurotransmitters preventing the medication from working, so these children require both diet and medication.
