Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I do know Pediasure is GF but I am not sure if it is CF. You could ask the company I found them to be very accomodating when I had my daughter on their products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 According to the label, its not CF. I just wondered if the GF/CF people in our group, knew of an GF/CF alternative.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I do know there are GF/CF nutritional supplements for kids, but I think most of them are by prescription, as they tend to be for extremely specialized needs. Do you work with a dietician who might advise you? Maureen > > According to the label, its not CF.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 My son is on supplements geared toward autism and they are GF/CF. They are by kirkman labs and I just ordered my daughter a daily supplement that is also GF/CF from them. I have shown each one to their pediatricians and they okayed our use of them. My son has been on his supplements for a year and his behaviors and changed drastically. We also avoid food dyes, sugars and soon, he will GF as well. If he has food coloring, his behavior changes are noticable.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 CF stands for Casein Free. Casein is a protein found in cow’s milk. -----Original Message----- What is CF? Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I am asking on behalf of my Nephew. After having some growth and temper issues, I convinced my SIL to test him and eventually put him on a GF/CF diet. He had a negative biopsy.....weak positive blood (IGA and IGG)....positive gluten and casein sensitivity from Entrolabs. After making the diet change, he has gained some weight, his temper issues are so much better, and for the first time in his life he is finally having solid stools. My SIL says he’s constantly hungry and eats non-stop all day now. I think his body is just trying to catch-up. Maureen, I few days ago you had written about giving your Son Pediasure, and how much it helped with his growth after going GF. I thought maybe my Nephew could benefit, the same way your son has.....but unfortunately, it’s not CF. Thanks for the response....
