Truth. “Most clinical trials involving NMDA receptor antagonists have failed due to unwanted side effects of the drugs; since the receptors also play an important role in normal glutamatergic neurotransmission, blocking them causes side-effects.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMDA_receptor_antagonist

Maybe it’s time we LOOK AT DIET.

The FDA only requires ingredients over 99% free glutamate to be listed as monosodium glutamate (MSG). Therefore, anything under 99% free glutamate doesn’t have to be identified as MSG and can be hidden or disguised in well over 50 different names. These names can be as innocuous and deceptive as “natural flavors” or “spices”, leaving the consumer completely unaware of their neurotoxic properties.

It wasn’t until we saw our son physically shake/convulse after consuming these these ingredients, that we truly realized how neurotoxic these food additives can be. Due to the underlying glutamatergic dysfunction associated with autism, his reactions to these additives were also associated with many of his autism symptoms.

A Story of Hope with REID: Tourettes Syndrome

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. Thank you for giving us hope… “I have 2 boys (both with TS) – now 10 & 13, their lives have been DRAMATICALLY changed by implementing the REID diet. My youngest went from ticcing 24/7 along with dealing with some major anxiety, attachment issues, extreme fears, panic attacks, social anxieties to now having virtually no tics and functioning normally. My oldest has also shown drastic improvements with the severity of his tics however we are still working through further healing (I know we need to get their gut more balanced and figure out specific food irritants). We haven’t really implemented the herbal recommendations of Dr. Reid which I am sure would help us as well. The elimination/reduction of glutamates is definitely the first step!! And stick with it, our progress has come over time but, like I said, life. Changing. ♥️” -Anonymous REID Mom

The cooler days have inspired me to make some of our favorite (warming) comfort food. One of our favorite Peruvian restaurants in Charlotte makes this amazing chicken and rice soup. Unfortunately, pretty sure it’s loaded with MSG bc I get a massive headache after eating it. This was our spin on a healthier version that I often make with leftovers. It makes for a quick and easy meal on busy school nights or for a quick lunch.

We LOVE to travel but things can quickly become complicated when you’re on a special diet. The last thing you want, is to be stressed while on vacation or visiting family (enter bickering here 👇🏻). Here are some of the ways in which we’ve navigated traveling with REID and kept our sanity...well, sorta. 😉
