We occasionally get letters or comments from parents that have seen improvements in health with REID. To help provide hope to so many still in the trenches, I’ve decided to make more of an effort to share some these comments (with their permission, of course). Many of us don’t have it all figured out, but we cling to the hope and words of progress. Everyone’s journey is different, diet changes may not reap huge changes for all, but it is absolutely helping some. Like this family, glutamate and the REID diet have been a huge piece to our puzzle. Thank you for giving us hope…

“I can’t remember exactly when we started Reid—1.5 years ago maybe a little more, but our son who had severe apraxia and was a “wild child” just received straight A’s with an average of 98% in 2nd grade. And the other day after school he said, “Mom, I did something nice for Sofia at school. When we were coming back from PE she looked cold and I asked her if she wanted my sweatshirt. She said yes and I gave it to her.” Besides having almost perfect speech when he said that, the fact, that after running around in PE, he was aware of how someone else felt and wasn’t in OVERDRIVE proves to me that his inflammation is going away!!”
