Note to the world:

I'm never ordering pizza again while watching Ana. She's clearly got some dairy-related issues. She was fine, if a bit hyper, until we had the pizza. Then she was hyper and incredibly high strung and unable to do even simple things (like ask "Can I have that please?" rather than snatching a toy from your hands simply because you'd happened to pick it up while she did something else).

Granted, we'd been inside all day due to the periodic thunderstorms - but his was completely over the top, and it's something I've tentatively noticed before. I think I can consider it confirmed, and do my part to make Jenn's house completely, instead of mostly, dairy-free.

How would dairy make one hyper?

Cassein does weird stuff if you can't break it down properly. I can't drink milk, myself, though I usually do ok with cheese and ice cream. But more than half a glass of milk makes me very hyper.

Okay... All I ever knew about before now was lactose intolerance and full-blown dairy allergies.

[conuly]

This is really a dairy intolerance. A specific reaction to proteins found in cow's milk (but not human milk).

I'm guessing, anyway. It certainly will not harm her to go without dairy.

I've read that casein and/or gluten acts like certain opiates if they're not broken down properly.

I'd test tomatoes, too.

You think? I've never heard of tomatoes affecting behaviour.

It would make sense... mostly I've seen this after big ravioli or pizza dinners/lunches, not after (say) ice cream or yogurt.

Chris(my nonBio son)is very allergic to anything red, including tomatoes. As he has ADHD, the reaction is to get very hyper, etc.

[conuly]

Now I want to send you some non-red tomatoes and see if he has the same reaction.

Heh. I've even grown yellow grape tomatoes and never made the connection. Will have to get him to try one. I think he quite likes tomatoey things so that'd definitely be cool if he didn't react.

Us permaculture gardeners love growing diverse veggies. ;-)
Even better if it's a heritage variety.
