My wife and I have been doing the diet with our son Brenen for eight months now. We also have him on a no/low sugar and anti-yeast diet. I believe the no/low sugar diet has had the biggest impact on him. His stool became firm for the first time in over a year after implamenting the reduced sugar diet. Unfortunately, that includes many fruits, which he loves. If he gets his hands on an orange now, he will have runny stool for at least a day. The best thing to do is to make a menu for the week. You can't think in terms of replacing or substituting foods. For our kids, soy milk can be just as bad as cows milk. We give Brenen only filtered water to drink with a little lemon juice or powdered vitamin C. His meals include:Baked or grilled fish of all kinds (salmon, tuna, cod,orange roughy, sea bass), many different vegatables (peas,brocoli,organic green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, occasionally carrots as they are somewhat high in sugar, rice pasta, rice cereal, bean pasta, bean chilli, buckwheat with zuccini, lentil soup,veggy burgers (my wife makes them), spagetti squash,sunflower seeds, and almonds. If you Email me at home (as I am at work now) at I would be happy to give you ingredients/reciepies. It was hard at first to try the diet, but now it is like second nature. Again, the sugar was big for us, but I have heard of many kids helped dramatically by avoiding the gluten and casein. Good Luck.
