So, My name is Nadine, one of the admin, and I would like to share how I found paleo. Three years ago my son, now 8 was tagged at school with something. His behavior was terrible, his teachers reports werent great, he couldnt concentrate and he would lash out at lunchtime if he got overwhelmed. He would self soothe but was a powerhouse of knowledge! We took him to a pediatrician who set us off for heaps of tests, eyes, hearing, occupational therapy etc. The reports came back with many things but with the conclusion of Autistic Spectrum Disorder. No way did I want to hear that and I started researching alternative therapies. Day by day I learnt more and more astonishing information about diet and lifestyle and put things into place in our home. At a similar time my daughter, now 10 was displaying symptoms of hormones.....pain in the lower tummy and irrational meltdowns. She also had terrible asthma (four medications) and terrible eczema which she would scratch in her sleep till she bled. A friend mentioned food intolerance and although I was like No way we dont have food intolerance , I started researching and got her blood tested for gluten which came back clear. Little did I know at that stage that the tests for gluten in Aust are 95% inaccurate (until later this year when a new test comes in). All of this research, months and months led me to paleo. Paleo is all about REAL FOOD. The food industry has brainwashed us into believing they are doing the best for us and they are not!!! It is now coming into my third year and the amount of research I have done would blow your minds, My sons last pediatrician appointment, would not give a diagnosis, and my daughter is off ALL asthma medication and has NO skin itches!! Not to mention in that time I have gone form a size 22 to a 16 (or maybe less now) So please please ask as many questions you can think of and if our admins cant answer you, we have lots of scientists and professionals that can either answer OR we can link you to the information. Please feel free to share your story, or begin your journey. Nadine :)
