Our story
I have a son who was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. Over the years we have tried many things to help him (i.e. different doctors, different medications, etc.), but nothing seemed to be the answer for him.
We found a website called synergisticsolutionsSSHH.com that has a program for autism and ADHD (and a host of other things) and we decided to try it. It consisted of a year-long diet modification of eliminating all gluten, dairy, and sugar as well as a 90 day cleanse to eliminate toxins from the body which is supposed to enable the body to heal itself. (Please check out my youtube video where I share my experience).
The cleanse part was easy, but the diet part was hard. There was more than one occasion where I was in tears of discouragement thinking, "I can't do this." But I learned that we CAN do hard things.
The diet/cleanse combo produced amazing results. My son is calm, happy, doing well in school, and he's not on any medication. He's a great kid. This has been life changing and definitely worth it.
We completed the diet several months ago so pizza is back on the menu (although we have noticed that sugar still makes him irritable so sweets are still not okay, but that's a small price to pay for a happy healthy child).
The purpose of this website is to pay it forward and support anyone else who (for any reason) has to follow a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet.
I wish you health and happiness. God bless.
