sensory integration disorder

[Guest guest]

Hi list,

I'm posting on behalf of my sister. Her 6 year-old daughter has been

diagnosed with sensory integration disorder. She gets overwhelmed by

stimuli, is fearful of closed in spaces and is anxious in general,

clinging to her mother, is a bit developmentally delayed, has

difficulty attending to auditory instructions, and is hesitant to

join in with other children. I have a gluten-sensitivity gene, so

I've been encouraging her to get my niece tested. The child's bowel

movements *are* normal, though. There are my questions:

Do you all think there could be a gluten component, even if her

bowels are normal?

Besides testing, what might be the best resources I could share with

my sister for learning more about the connection between gluten and

sensory integration disorder?

Many thanks in advance,

Molly
