I have a group of friends who have been such great mom friends. But ever since Johns Diagnosis they seem to not be as helpful.

My grandson is getting in trouble at school because he’s pushing or biting other kids. We’ve had many conversations, but he always gets easily frustrated and reacts this way. How do we help him?

I’ve had some mild success with taking my lovely boy off of dairy. His BMs have improved greatly and I’ve noticed some change in his behaviour.

Thanks everyone!!
