Bison for Asher?

Asher has been trialing bison for 2 weeks now. And the verdict is.....still out. After he eats it for a number of days, I notice that he is very tired in the mornings and can't get himself out of bed. He is low energy the entire day and, although not irritable, he's definitely not his smiley happy self. This past gymnastics class, he couldn't do any of the things the other children were doing. They were things he had done easily in the past, yet he couldn't do them on that particular day.

The question is: are these symptoms due to the bison or to something entirely different? I mean, I know that sometimes I'm more tired than other times and it's probably not food-related. There are so many variables, it's hard to tell cause and effect sometimes.

Yesterday and today, he's been feeling GREAT. He has high energy, very smiley, doing great on his puzzles and moving quite well. Let's hope he keeps it up.

So, we're going to stop the bison for two weeks and see what happens. If the symptoms stop, it'll be another data point. Then we'll resume bison for another two weeks to see what happens.

I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating this has to be...all you want is for things to be good for your child but since he can't tell you what his body thinks about what you give him you have to make assumptions. You are in my continued prayers...Big hugs...Ilana
