Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Has anyone ever heard of children being dyslexic from dairy? A friend of mine asked me about it, but it seemed strange to me, so I wanted to ask the experts... she read somewhere that some kids have milk allergies that cause dyslexia (or whatever that disability's called that makes you write stuff in reverse), and Sally's been having problems with getting her letters backwards.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 How old is Sally? It is very common for kids to have this problem into the first and second grade. I have read that allergies to milk can cause symptoms of ADD/ADHD, in fact a friend of mine whose son was having difficulties with this was taken off of all dairy products and is no longer having the symptoms. Red dye# 40, artificial flavorings, and preservatives I have read (I need to dig out the info to be able to tell you where I read this), can cause ADD/ADHD and Dyslexia symptoms which will go away when these things are no longer used. Even a small amount can set a person off. Red dye# 40 is a huge culprit in causing these symptoms.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I have never heard anything about linking dairy and dyslexia together...How old is Sally? My daughter Emma is 6 years old, when she was 4 and began getting serious about writing her letters a lot of them were backwards, she would even go so far as to write complete words backwards for example she would write the word happy but it would look like yppah and every letter would also be backwards. We were very concerned about this but all her teachers said this is perfectly normal. As I said she is now 6 she still writes the occasional letter backwards but is really doing much better. Her doctor and kindergarten teacher both assure me that it is very common for children to do this wen they are learning to write.. I hope this helps a little bit! --- janeen minguillo <jminshan wrote: > Has anyone ever heard of children being dyslexic > from dairy?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Janeen, How old is Sally? I hadn't heard a link between dairy and dyslexia but it wouldn't be beyond reason. Food allergies affect the body in many ways that most allergists would never admit. You can probably do a Google search with the two words, and/or send a note to pcrm.org They're good about answering (at least, years ago they were!) though it may take awhile. Let us know if you find anything showing a link. ~Doh -------- " The animals of the world exist for their own reasons.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I cut out all artificial dyes and colors from my son's diet and have noticed a huge difference in the way that he acts and in his asthma, so I also cut them all out of my diet as well and my one year old, well he has never had them and never will. ADD/ADHD and dyslexia are all also linked to vaccine damage. Sara - <quintmom Friday, January 23, 2004 1:52 PM Re: Dyslexia from dairy? > How old is Sally?

How old is Sally? That's rather crucial information. ALL children write backwards at certain phases of their development. Has she actually been diagnosed with dyslexia (and this sounds more like a dysgraphic issue than a reading one)? If not, and the mother is worried, maybe a proper evaluation is in order (by the school district, I should think). FWIW, I've never heard of that particular connection. Be well, Hadass in Winnipeg, Ima to children who write backwards letters sometimes, but her oldest is only in grade 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
