Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 If everything seems fine, then it likely is. Don't borrow trouble! In my uneducated opinion, based solely on a 4 year old who was on ritalin for ADHD with hypoeractivity, the diet cured him. However, he had the problems BEFORE he went gluten free. If your child is not showing symptoms of delays or behavioral problems, then there probably is no need to treat her for them! Good luck! Becki Developmental delay I have yet another question for everyone. My 2 ½ year old has CD and I was wondering if I need to watch her now that she is diagnosed and gluten free for developmental delays? Someone suggested that I get an IEP for her through the school this young but I am not sure if that is necessary since the school said she has to be 3 before she could have one and they did not think that she needed one yet. I am just confused and do not want to spin my wheels on yet another thing that really doesn’t need my attention but I do not want to ignore it if it would benefit her. For now she is right on target for her milestones and she is doing great that way but I am not sure if the delays come from while she was in the midst of it and not gluten free so she was not getting any food or if it can be a side effect in a treated Celiac? We had her tested at a year and she had one in the doctor’s office that was totally inaccurate so I had another one ran that came from a group that does them all the time and they found her to be 2-4 months advanced across the board. I am not worried but also do not want to find out that we should have been on top of things sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Based on what I saw happen to my nephew, I would tread very, very carefully in dealing a school district. My nephew was born 6 weeks early, and had a fall birthday - in kindergarden, he struggled a little, so the district wanted him tested for dev. delay. His parents agreed, the tests showed him normal for age, and then the label of 'TESTED FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY' was stuck to him all the way from kindergarden through high school. That was the first thing every teacher learned about , and my SIL is convinced it really hurt his school years as teachers started out thinking he was dumb, and treated him accordingly.
