I'm there with you boysclubx3. I know how hard it can be. And I would not suggest it at all if you don't see a tremendous effect. I hesitated to even mention it because most people have already heard of or tried the diet for themselves. If the diet doesn't have a noticeable effect, then don't go there. We found out that I had severe food allergies and needed to remove gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, and corn from my diet. We discover that DS's food allergies were related to behavior almost by accident (particularly the corn), when he started to eat the same foods that I was cooking for myself. We then took DS to my allergy doctor to get sub-dermal testing to confirm the allergy.
So don't feel bad for not doing the diet if you don't see any effect. The only thing that I will add, if it is at all helpful, is that corn is nearly impossible to avoid completely, much, much worse than gluten. Toothpaste has corn in it (sorbitol), toilet paper is dusted with it, fresh fruit and veggies are covered in vegetable wax containing corn to preserve them (apples, cucumbers, etc). And most medicines in a pill form have cornstarch as a binding agent. Even such innocent things as salt (Morton's Iodized salt has malodexitrin in it as an anti-caking agent which is made from corn) and baking powder have corn in them. Unless you are willing to call every company that has salt in the package and ask, then you can't be sure that you are going completely corn-free. So I would only advise this diet if you are 1) absolutely sure of a sensitivity or allergy from an allergy doctor, 2) willing to forgo all proceeded food
and 3) you see a huge difference fairly quickly. Otherwise, don't go there. It is just too hard to eliminate it completely.
So now after going down that faulty path, does anyone else have any ideas for boysclubx3?
