Help is available to mothers dealing with babies who have colic and ‘high maintenance’ children in the form of a free downloadable white paper offered by motivational speaker, food expert and allergy cookbook author, Lisa A. Lundy, on her website: www.TheSuperAllergyCookbook.com.
The white paper lists symptoms of food allergies in infants and toddlers and young children, provides suggestions for nursing moms dealing with infants who have colic, distinguishes signs of life-threatening food allergies and GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) and much more. Ms. Lundy’s video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com. As the mother of three food allergy children, Ms. Lundy knows firsthand how difficult it can be to have a baby who has colic or to have a child who is ‘difficult’ or high maintenance.
The Feingold Association, a 501(C)3 non-profit public charity, is one organization that Lisa Lundy recommends to parents who are willing to explore health and behavior issues. Founded in 1976, The Feingold Association is dedicated to helping children and adults apply proven dietary techniques for better behavior, learning and health and to generating public awareness of the potential role of foods and synthetic additives in behavior, learning and health problems.
Ruling out celiac disease is another suggestion that Ms. Lundy routinely recommends to parents of children who are difficult, whine a lot, or who are aggressive. As one of the most undiagnosed diseases in the United States, celiac disease, which can affect both children and adults, occurs in about 1% of the population or about 3 million people.
At the present time, 97% of Americans who have celiac disease do not yet know that they have it. The treatment for celiac disease is strict adherence to a gluten-free diet. Gluten is an amino acid sequence found in grains like wheat, rye, barley, some common oats, and other grains like spelt and kamut. While there are over 300 symptoms for celiac disease, many patients do not have any symptoms. It is a genetic autoimmune disorder that runs in families.
