Seeking (Pediatric) Nutritionist for Help with Behavioral Issues

Call the Center For Social Success in Dallas and Plano and there is a nutritionalist named Fay. I forget her last name.
They will help you.

K.,
We just went spent the summer under the counsel of a chiropractor who addresses nutrition. He made some pretty dramatic suggestions, which we followed, for my 11 year old who has many of the same issues you are facing with your son. I have to say we noticed a big improvement. After changing her diet, I can tell she feel so much better, is much more patient, flexible and happier. We are very pleased with the results. His name is Dr. Matt Chalmers. He's in Frisco. www.chalmerswellness.com

You also might want to check out a book called Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders. There is some great information about dietary changes. ( I don't think they are limited to just the 4-A disorders.

Good luck. It is a long road, but be persistant.

God Luck

I have a very good friend who is a Registered Dietician, specializing in children's nutrition, etc., is with Children's Medical Center and also practicing on her own now-- I would highly recommend her: her name and contact info is: A. Lemond ____@____.com

Good luck!

Check out Dr. Deborah Bain
4851 Legacy Drive, Ste #601
Frisco, Texas 75034
www.healthykidspediatrics.com

She has a son that had similiar issues and she modified his diet and had success. She said that the school teachers said he was a "problem child" before she changed his diet and now they consider him "one of the best students"

She takes a more natural approach instead of dumping meds into a kids body - she explores diet, metal retention, etc., and has over 100 autistic kids in her practice.

She's our pediatrician because she's willing to work with us on when our son receive vacinations. She belives in them but feels that a child shouldn't receive them when they have health issues. (in fact, she's researching if there's a link between poor health/vaccines and autism.)

Oh, she is willing to see you for free so you can check our out.

Dr. Bain is a normal pedi that does some natural alternatives in her practice. She recommended allergy/food intolerance testing and the results are guaranteed by the lab (Immuno Laboratories) or you get your money back. We did this testing for ear infections and boy did it work. I also saw some skill progressions in my two year old that was surprising. My friend has the similar situation you are going through and just had her child tested. Poor guy is reactive to most of what she is feeding him, so they are doing the elimination diet and seeing what happens. So far so good. I would recommend starting with the testing....

All the 6,7 &8 year olds I know are mouthy, have tantrums and seem unsatisfied. Yours sounds pretty normal.
