Hi Hope and welcome.

What will help the most is to simply work on adding in rather than taking out.
Do you have a copy of Potatoes Not Prozac?
Why did you decide to stop the Benadryl just now? It might make more sense to
get yourself stable with the food first and then look at your sleep.
And no, you do not have to take out the caffeine right now It will make sense
to look at that in relationship to not being able to sleep.

Can you share a little about how your eating is now and perhaps we can help you
get started.

warmly,

Kathleen
