Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 My son is 22 months and has been diagnosed ASD at about 18 months (we suspected it earlier). He has multiple speech and developmental delays and often has viloent, uncontrollable tantrums. He is engaged most of the time and eye contact is quite good, but we never really know what will set him off. His diet is terribble and limited, consisting of GF Pancakes and Waffles, Chicken Nuggets, Pear Sauce, and PBJ. We are starting him on the SCD diet. My wife and I to say least are overwhelmed. A couple questions come to mind. Is is common for a child to not have any noticeable digestive problems (i.e. diarhea ect..) and still need this diet? Secondly, after being on the diet for a period of time, do the children become more open to different varieties of food? Finally he still breast feeds and we are unsure when it is would be beneficial to ween him since it is his main source of comfort during his melt downs. Our son is so limited on what he will eat, I guess I'm just looking for some encouraging responses. Any info would be appreciated.
