We saw the Naturopath about a week ago and it was really positive. Unlike the first behavior therapist we spoke to who basically said there was nothing we could do and we should just accept that she may live with this the rest of her life! We talked about some possible food allergies and how "leaky gut syndrome" can affect neurotransmitters in the brain. By finding out what possible allergies she has and eliminating them from her diet, we might be able to at least control or decrease her urges to pull. So far we've done two urine tests and are waiting for more info on those. We have started her on a probiotic called HMF Neuro and in two weeks she will take the NEAT Diet Test.
