Re: [LCASG] Gluten Free Diet

Hi Jane,
My son is on the diet.  We see Dr Hicks in Delavan, WI.  We had our son tested for allergies and peptides, Pretty much anthing we could test we tested, (Hair, stool, blood, urine)  The tests came back showing he should not have gluten(wheat, oats, barley) or whey (dairy).  So on the diet we went and have stuck to it since November of last year.  We met with a dietician who gave us ideas and product suggestions as well.  I had him on and off the diet since he was diagnosed almost 3 years ago, but once I saw the proof on paper, that was all I needed to stick to it.  We have seen lots of improvement in speech and socialization.  I would not say it is exclusively the diet that has help but one part of it, he is on several supplements and homeopathic supports to help get his body systems back on track. Has speech several time a week and is in the LASSO program through SEDOL.  But as for the diet, once I found brands he would eat and enjoyed the diet has become much easier to adhere to.  Pamela's bread is the only one he will eat.  Found at whole foods or Amazon.com.  It is easy to make and I actullay like it too.  We have switched the whole family to rice milk and don't even keep cheese or many other dairy products in the house.  If you would like any more info just let me know, I am happy to share.

Hello, I just joined the group. I have a 4 1/2 year old son with autism
and tried a gluten free diet in August. We did pretty well until
December, he lost some weight which made me very nervous. He did not
like the bread at all and seemed okay with meat and veggies but as time
went on refused all bread and finally, food. He had dry heaves for two
days in December and I decided the whole thing was crazy and made him a
pb&j sandwich. He was literally shaking as he ate. We are now on a
modified gluten free diet, that is, everything is gluten free except
bread. In the time we were totally gluten free I didn't notice any
significant change in him, although it was only 4 months. I'd love any
feedback from other parents that either found success or became
frustrated like me. I don't know if I should abandon the diet or not.

Thanks,

Jane
