GOOD Day!!

We've had a good couple days with Ben! His reports from school have been good, but a little more stimming on the lights, seems like especially in the afternoon.

He was a little grouchy when we got home from school yesterday, but was pretty good after dinner. He was a little grouchy again today when he first got home, but less so. He has been GREAT since dinner. Trying to say words, more social and engaged. Not sure why all this is. Possibilities:

1. Enzymes are helping...could be why he is more stimmy in the afternoon at school (isn't getting the enzymes at lunch yet, just breakfast and dinner.) Of course, it could just be that he is tired after lunch! He is also eating more, especially for dinner now...full belly equals happy!
2. I stopped yeast protocol except biotin (B vitamin.) Maybe he wasn't tolerating the yeast-aid or the OLE??
3. Phenol protocol: removed GSE for yeast (which is high phenol), added enzyme for phenols, nightly epsom baths.
4. We started giving him allergy medicine in the morning again...maybe helping with hidden, slight food allergens. We also have cut down on the granola bars which contain sunflower...close to sesame.
5. Daddy's been home for 5 days now! Ben loves Daddy and misses him when he is gone.
6. Could just be adjusting to school schedule better.
7. Some unknown factor or he is just having a "good day" like the rest of us!

Well, whatever it is, I'm going to go enjoy him some more before bed!

Love to you all!
