Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Welcome to the group! I am an ABA consultant, and I am also a big supporter of the GFCF diet. I have seen it make a BIG difference for many kids, a slight difference for many, and there are some kids that it doesn't work for. However, since it is non-invasive and has no side effects, I think it is worth trying since it does help so many.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Wow, what questions to try to answer! Some who try the gfcf diet find that it does not work, while others find huge gains. My daughter was non-verbal but said her first words 4 days after dairy was removed from her diet, so I tend to be one to encourage parents to try it. I would also encourage you to consider dietary enzymes in the place of the diet for her age, 7 yrs old is gonna be hard to cut out all her favs. www.houstonni.com has some great dietary enzymes, you can email them directly for help on what products might be good to try. A friend recently gave enzymes to her 12 yr old, high-functioning son. He took the first capsule and from then on she hasn't had to say a word. She said he is insistent on taking them, saying, " My stomach doesn't hurt anymore. " She never really heard him complain about it ever hurting, so it was somewhat a shock. He has also really blossomed the last few months, and she's said, disbelieving, that she can't help but wonder if it's the enzymes. As far as supps go, that's really depending on your child's specific issues. Does she seem to have motor skills delays? Wakes at night? Zinc tends to be really good for kids with autism because of a typical zinc/copper abnormal ratio, typically they need to boost the zinc to lower the copper. b-6 is a good one, along with magnesium. Cod liver oil is considered to do wonders, esp if she might have vision issues. HTH, I'm not giving medical advice, btw, just offering some info. Debi Would you all encourage me to go ahead and try > things like a glutin free diet with her, or is it not worth the > effort? What kind of nutritional supplements really work? > > Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 There's also a good book by Dr. McCandless, Starving Minds or Starving Brains, can't remember which. It covers a lot more on supplements and what to use them for. Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 RDI (Relationship Development Intervention) can help with the interaction and social aspects. www.rdiconnect.com and the yahoo groups RDI Mid Atlantic and RDI NC for more info And I second (or third) the recommendation of the McCandless MD book. We've had huge success w/ GFCF diet, and yes, it may help your child's ability to focus. You won't know unless you try, though.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hi there! Im 22, autistic (in the grey area between HFA and aspergers), local loose cannon. Welcome to the group. For what it's worth...Ive found that *FOR ME* diet works. I eliminated gluten and salicylates (read more about salicylates by doing a search on PST deficiency or asking...Ive got a pretty major PST deficiency)...but I do OK on casein. A lot of people DONT. I am also going to try the enzymes for phenols to see if I can tolerate MORE salicylates because i miss fruit and vegetables, i can have, um...15 of the 2 combined. And I used to be a vegetarian! I also do MSM (mostly for joints but helps my foodness too go figure) and was on some minerals but not now, pending talk with a doctor about an unrelated issue. I miss my magnesium and calcium. I also take medication, it does triple duty...seizures, bipolar, and some of the cruddier aspects of autism (sensory issues, ready-fire-aim speaking). And I did " self OT " by way of gymnastics. Its sensory integration therapy! Really it is! I'm a BIG FAN of Trying One Thing At A Time, Do No Harm, and not trying to change the child, but make it easier for the child (or adult, but youve got a little one) to navigate the world as she is. Good luck and welcome, Kassiane > I have a high functioning autistic 7 year old, mainstreamed in 2nd > grade. Functions well academically, when she is paying attention, but > is awkward socially.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Wow, I'm new here too. Thank you for your thoughts on how to help. My daughter has severe autism and is gfcf, on acidophilus, a rich oil blend and a good multi- vit. The most important thing is she is in a autism preschool program and is now starting to talk.

I have the really high grade MSM, take it with meals for my joints (theyve been CREAKY), though I guess its also good for PST deficiency according to some sources. I don't feel WORSE, which was the goal, they think I have an autoimmune disorder attacking my joints and some other stuff. I don't feel like my tendons are going to snap at any given moment- hardly an autism thing-though it seems to have helped some of the tummy troubles too.
