The sensory issues and allergies are so challenging. My oldest child has those issues as well, but not all the issues you are dealing with. Given that, Feingold would be too restrictive, I suspect. Some things to look at that specifically would be chemicals such as soaps, detergents, scents. Also, if snacks can be free of artificial dyes and artificial ingredients. That is what we focus on for my oldest and it's made a difference that we can tell esp. after the holidays when we were slack and she ate some things she hadn't been eating. She is highly sensitive to fragrances... get dizzy and so forth kind of sensitive. One more thing... baking soda in the bath or a small amount of epsom salts in the bath might help with sleep. I say a small amount because some kids react to too much or can't do it at all. I hope you can find what will help. It can be like peeling an onion to help our kids as you know. One discovery at a time. I commend you on all you deal with and read your blog because of your constant positive attitude. Keep up the good work and keep on fighting for your kids. :)

"I hope they don't say she needs orange juice with her iron though to make it work, because she's allergic. :o/"

Renee,it's an issue of needing Vit. C to help absorption of iron. It doesn't have to be from OJ.

Praying!
Revelation 3:11-13 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name...
