Guest guest Posted May 16, 2000 Report Share Posted May 16, 2000 Ha all diet interested peoples, The so called autism diet is in fact the GFCF diet (gluten free and caseine free). I was amazed by stories told by parents doing the GFCF diet OR doing 'only' the non caseine diet (no dairy, so no milk, cheese, butter, and everything else with animal milk in it (like some cookies, sweets, etcetera)). I think just 1 out of 10 parents doesn't seem to notice any difference. Some stories like: less spacing out, non verbal kids becoming verbal, good faeces, no more bed-wetting, decrease or disappear of eczema, no tics anymore, more eye contact, less toe walking, less hyper, longer attention span... Beware: Re: Behaviors > They often regress for the first few weeks. My son drooled, spun, > and flapped so much I thought I'd cry. Then he began improving. > The next step was an antifungal and that made him regress again for > a few days. > Stick it out. Regression can be a good sign as it means he will > probably respond well to the diet.

Here 4 out of 5 are turning the caseine level down. This week it will be absolutely no more dairy. RH (4, ASD) is getting more outgoing, but is also more 'agressive'. 7yo RW is very down and still bed-wetting (but he is ill now so I cannot tell if the non-dairy is not working). Trishalina (2) is till the same hyperly girlie. But they still get a little bit of caseine. We will see after a few weeks of non caseine if it turns out good. A father told me that 3 days after the non caseine diet, his 3yo daughter was not bed-wetting anymore. When he gave her, 5 days after, a cheese sandwich, that instant she was bed-wetting again.... Trish Enjoy your day ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
