[quote=Anonymous]We just got our lab results back from testing our DS for food sensitivities.  It ends up he is allergic to gluten, casein, and sugar.  He also tested positive for allergies to beef, chicken, fish, watermelon, and oranges.  What the heck is he supposed to eat!?!  I'm so overwhelmed right now.  Our pediatrician had all of the testing done.  She said he also has "leaky gut" and yeast in his system (which is why he needs to be off of sugar I guess).  She said he will have to be treated with an anti-fungal to get rid of the yeast, but she said she is afraid to do it because it will most likely make my DS go nuts.  DS has been dealing with major meltdowns/mood swings, depression, OCD behaviors since about age 3.  I guess she is worried he will get worse before he gets better when doing the anti-fungal treatment.  DS was put on Abilify last year by his psychiatrist and he actually attempted suicide because the drug made him feel so awful.  Because of his past, she (pediatrician) is worried that he will do something like that again when the yeast is dying off.  Also, I've heard going off of gluten can make people go crazy.  Any advice from anyone that has gone through this?  [/quote]
