What type of doctor, What tests? Husband's not supportive.

[Guest guest]

My son 3.4 y.o. is undergoing an assessment for ASD, we will find out the result

in a couple of days. Having found out about Biomedical approach in treatment of

autism I, as a mother, decided to give it a go. We started a CFGF diet 3 weeks

ago and have seen some improvement: such as more communication, better eye

contact, more speech. However after a week his condition stalled and he became

more tired, often having red cheeks, often babbling away.

My husband has been supporting me with CFGF diet at the beginning, but when I

started taking some other products out of my son's diet like tomatoes, bananas,

soya, etc. he raised a concern and addressed to GP seeking for medical opinion.

He is waiting for the referral to a specialist, we don't know what type of

doctor (maybe paediatrician or gastroenterologist), what tests my son would need

to take and what we need to find out and WHY?

My husband's aim is to treat my son's gut because diarrhea persists for more

than a week now after having a good stool for several days at the beginning of

the diet. He undermines my attempt to treat my son from Candida, which I

diagnosed myself by overall symptoms.

Should I refrain from self-administering treatment of my son and seek for advice

of some other specialist? How would I know what I am doing is not doing any harm

for my son?

Pease help me understand what can I do to help my son correctly and how to

direct my husband to the right way in his will to help his son. Does anyone know

a good doctor (and what type of doctor) on NHS or private with Doctor diploma

that could help us heal my son's gut and take the right tests. Please advice.

Thanks,
