I'm
happy
to
share
info
about
the
diet
that
I
use
with
my
Daughter,
Krista.
She
has
been
on
the
diet
for
about
7
years
and
it
has
totally
changed
her
quality
of
life
in
every
way!
I'm
so
glad
you
are
considering
it
with
your
daughter
Crystal.
Krista
is
a
type
2
diagnosed
at
9
months.
She
is
a
weak
type
2
having
never
crawled
or
stood.
She
did
roll
as
an
infant
and
lift
her
head.
There
are
stronger
type
2's
that
follow
the
diet
with
good
results
also.
I
use
Tolerex
for
the
base
of
her
"drink".
I
mix
this
up
each
morning
and
she
sips
it
throughout
the
day.
She
is
getting
one
and
a
half
packs
mixed
with
8
oz.
of
cherry
juicy
juice
and
8
oz.
of
Tropicana
Orange
juice
enriched
with
calcium.
This
is
the
kind
not
from
concentrate.
I
also
add
4
oz.
of
water.
I
also
add
Cal-Mag
citrate
with
vitamin
D,
200
IU
of
vitamin
E,
6.5
grams
of
glutamine
fuel
powder
(but
this
would
be
too
much
for
a
2
year
old).
The
dosage
is
200-300mg.
per
kg.
of
weight,
500mg.
of
Acetyl-L-carntine.
Some
additional
amino
acids
with
Amino
75
capsule,
15mg.
of
zinc
3
times
a
week
15
mg.
of
gentle
iron,
and
a
multi-vitamin.
Krista
also
eats
fruits
and
vegetables
and
pasta.
And
of
course
dairy
free
cookies
and
chips
and
some
other
junk
foods.
Her
mix
would
not
be
the
right
amount
of
vitamins
and
minerals
for
Crystal.
I
suggest
you
buy
a
book
called
Nutrition
Almanac.
It
has
good
charts
in
it
with
the
RDA
for
children.
We
just
try
to
make
sure
they
get
the
RDA
that
is
suggested
for
healthy
kids
for
most
vitamins
and
minerals.
I
use
the
juice
in
the
mixture
for
extra
calories
and
potassium.
(this
is
very
important)
and
to
make
the
taste
acceptable
(although
it
is
still
pretty
yucky.)
Over
the
years
we
have
added
extra
things
like
COQ10
and
a
small
amount
of
creatine.
We
all
make
our
mix
a
little
different.
The
critical
thing
is
not
to
overload
with
the
amino
acids!
This
could
be
dangerous.
Our
kids
don't
have
the
muscle
to
absorb
the
amino's
and
they
can
easily
build
up.
The
kids
get
their
protein
from
the
amino
acids
and
we
avoid
proteins
from
food.
We
believe
they're
allergic
to
the
proteins
from
food
and
this
causes
them
to
get
sick
and
weak.
They
usually
have
quite
an
improvement
in
strength
once
this
diet
is
implemented.
Don't
let
the
dietician
talk
you
into
a
lot
of
the
Tolerex.
She
shouldn't
be
on
more
than
1-1
and
a
half
packs
a
day.
That
is
enough
carbs
and
protein
(in
amino
acid
form),
especially
if
she
is
eating
and
drinking
some
other
things.
Remember,
the
Tolerex
also
needs
to
be
very
diluted,
about
twice
the
liquid
the
packet
suggests.
A
multi-vitamin
and
other
minerals
must
be
added
to
ensure
that
the
RDA
is
being
met
for
everything.
You
would
have
to
use
way
too
much
Tolerex
to
get
enough
of
everything.
I
don't
worry
about
the
traces
of
protein
in
vegetables,
this
doesn't
seem
to
bother
the
children
like
the
animal
sources.
The
amino
acids
in
the
Tolerex
and
the
additional
amino
acids
we
add
to
the
Tolerex
mixture
(drink)
give
them
the
amount
of
protein
they
need,
in
a
form
that
they
do
not
have
to
break
down.
The
amino
acids
go
straight
to
their
blood
stream
and
muscles.
you
cannot
use
the
amino
acids
in
large
amounts,
though.
They
can
be
toxic
if
overloaded.
