Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm looking for an RD that specializes in parkinson and can do phone consults or live in Indian. Also any information on s/s that look like parkinson. TIA Sent via BlackBerry by AT & T Re: Wheat free diet I had a pediatric patient with the same issues. Mother seeking to reduce Tourette's symptoms. Holistic physician " diagnosed " multiple food allergies and the child suffered for about a year, stunting her growth. We introduced one food at a time back into diet without any return of her symptoms until soy sauce....so mom was thinking " soy " .  Turned out it was the wheat! We restested with soy beans and had no problem. But when she has anything with wheat she complains of symptoms. All the other foods are back into her diet and she is back to growing. Not going to question why or how, just going with the wheat intolerance and go forward.  Holly ---------- Holly Lee Brewer, MS RD CDE Pediatric Dietitian, Diabetes Educator Medical Nutrition Therapist, Las Vegas, NV Maj Holly Brewer, USAFR BSC http://hollyinbalad.blogspot.com 301st MDG, Nut Med Flt Cmd, NAS JRB Fort Worth (Carswell), TX Malcom Grow Medical Center, s AFB, MD (Oct-Dec 2009) Joint Base Balad, Iraq (Jan-Jul 2009) > ;-) > > Hi , > > I smile because I've heard it all.
