DAN Misery

Well, this protocol is just as much a pain as I thought it would be...more, in fact, because there are a lot fewer non-oral supplements than I had been led to believe.  I have  to say that I am almost rooting for it to fail, so I can stop this gluten free madness.  But, I think it might be helping.

Kai seems to be more verbal than normal, and he is making little jokes.  He never did that before.  Today he picked up a piece of packing popcorn and said "Your tooth is missing".  Very unusual for him.  The thing is, that his development has always come in spurts.  How am I to know if this is just coincidental?  

I guess I will stick with the parts of the protocol that I am having success with for a while, and then pull them and watch for reactions.  Boy, I hate experimenting on my child.  I wish there were some solid studies and research on this stuff.  And I wish that I was finding more successful ways of getting these supplements into him.  And I wish that Kai could tell me about his first day of school...  Maybe next year.
