After a long weekend

Okay so I know it has been a while since I posted last but honestly nothing exciting has happen. We have been continuing the GSE except for when we went upstate last week I didn't give it to him while we were up there I wanted him to be as easy going as possible while we were there and he did pretty good. Next time we go I will definitely be taking gates with us so I can keep him out of the kitchen, he had 2 infractions and boy did we pay for them. Within a couple hours he was literally bouncing off the walls crazy.

Today is a new day after a long weekend so I started the GSE back up he will get his first dose at breakfast this morning at school and I will give him his second dose when he gets off the bus. I couldn't tell you if the penis playing has decreased any but boy has he been irritable! I think we are finally going through withdraws. I was hoping we wouldn't have any but I totally understand why he is having such a hard time. It takes approximately 3-4 weeks to completely rid the body of casein (milk protein) and 3-4 months for the gluten, we are at about week 3, and since none of his infractions were with casein I am confident that at this point his body is casein free thus the beginning of the withdraws. His mood has just fluctuated, little things like me shutting off the screen saver really upset him and cause meltdowns that I haven't seen in quite a while. Also being that today is a new day I decided to try some new cream I got, it is called MSM cream, aka calming cream. Basically MSM is a natural occurring source of sulfur, which most (not all, everyone is different) AI kids are deficient in. I put some on his feet and his back before I dressed him today, he wasn't thrilled at all about the whole thing but we will see how it goes, I am not expecting miracles (that isn't why I do any of this by the way) but I am hoping it will help him cope with the withdraw symptoms, I can tell that he hates to meltdown you can see it in his eyes, he doesn't like to do it and when he does he just looks at you like "can't you help me, can't you stop this" it breaks my heart, I just hold him and rock him until he settles down so I am crossing my fingers that the cream helps alleviate some of his discomfort.

A little off topic but a little on topic I plan on detoxing my body in the next couple weeks. My digestive system has not been right ever since middle school when my bff and I thought it would be "cool" to be anorexic, needless to say it was not cool and didn't last more than a couple months but it was long enough to screw with me for life so I am going to try and reset my body so I can live "normally" (if that is even possible) or at least be able to eat with out getting Ebola (thats what I call my misery) I am just waiting to start my detox plan until I start my period, I have all the PMS symptoms I just need it to start and get it over with, I am already technically now 2 days late but we aren't panicking last month was a screwed up month for me so we will see, I won't panic until after the 4th. Anyways I don't want to detox while on it because that would just be torture for Chris and I love him too much to put him through all that! Once I am done detoxing I will be giving up casein, gluten, refined sugar, caffeine of any kind, and I am going to try my hardest to avoid Chris while he is smoking (if only he'd quit) which means I can't go on the porch until the smoke clears and he won't be allowed to smoke in the car with me. We will see how everything goes I will keep everything logged and updated so I can see if I am just crazy or if it is really helping.
