Would love to hear other's experiences of trying this diet, whatever your family setup.
I have considered it a few times, and I just see how it would work in our family.
I'm also curious to know if anyone has tried it and noticed no positive effects?
I was talking to a school mum yesterday who casually said 'you should give him that special diet' as if I was really stupid and neglectful for not doing it, and it would solve all ds' problems.
I just can't see ow it would work? It wouldn't work to just feed ds separate food, he would want to have what everyone else is having. Dp is almost entirely vegetarian, so we rarely eat meat because it would mean cooking separate meals. Then add in the 2 teenage stepsons, one of them very fussy to start with. We drink soya milk and they refuse that so we need to get cows milk for them. If just milk causes this much hassle I can't imagine if I changed everything we ate!
Last issue is of course how on earth I could afford it! £50 a week is the absolute max I can spend on food.
