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…
“Diagnosed at 18 months mild ASD. Around 15 months I noticed something was wrong, but didn’t know what it was. He did not know how to chew and would only eat rice and yogurt. I would make different foods all day and he would spit everything out and gag and choke on everything. I took out the dairy products and sat with him for hrs at each meal showing him how to chew by modeling on myself. I then started green smoothies right away and whole foods was not quite REID exactly but noticed a change right away. He only had the sound “zaa” for everything and now speaks full sentences. I watched Dr Reid’s videos on youtube and tried to make different smoothies. He was drinking 2 to 3 different types of smoothies a day with lots of greens mostly. We are still trying to get to the REID plate but not fully there yet. He also really hates green smoothies now! 😂I still give him at least one but its not as easy anymore 😊 I am so grateful for Dr Reid and this group i feel we were given a second chance to get our child back and lay the foundation for permanent health for our kids ❤”
