Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 We never did testing either. When I heard about the diet I couldn't wait to get testing done, I had to start immediately. My son had a couple of things he wasn't supposed to and now it's been 6 days and no reaction. I'm wondering what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 > Diet infringements are one thing, but > deliberately taking her off the diet--even to get the diagnosis or to get test > results--seems so cruel. If the kids are really doing well on the diet, do you > really need the testing? - I know exactly what you are saying. We are in the same position ourselves with our 23 month old ds. I put him on the diet at 13 months old and he's done phenomenally. There is no one around who would ever diagnose this kid as autistic. However, that's a mixed blessing, as you know. We are just now pursuing finding out what's " wrong " with him (I suspect mild autism, but it's been " fixed " by the diet) and the most we've gotten is sensory integration dysfuncion, though we go see a diet-friendly dev ped in February. Luckily Early Intervention is providing some services to him too. Ds has had some infringements in the last week and we are paying for it, he's crabby, demanding, whiny, aggressive, screamy, well, you know the drill. Not the sweet child he was a few weeks ago. Ah well, each infringement is more proof to me that the diet is so essential to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many parents don't see this intensive reaction, and often become convinced the diet has done no good. Like you, we found out after a casein infraction that our son indeed had a problem. He ate half a bag of M & M's at school, and his behavior was unreal. In a way, it was a valuable lesson for us. My husband wasn't convinced about the diet, and after the infraction when he saw my son laying on the floor screaming for 30 minutes straight and chanting " I want cheese curds " , (his favorite prediet food), he was convinced and then some! It was like a junky begging for his best fix. a - Wisconsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 My son had some A&W rootbeer for a couple of days, and on day 2, he was hysterical, perseverating, self-directed and very difficult to manage - quite like the pre-diet days. I don't even know if A&W is GFCF, but I think it made him crazy. It also could have been latkes that my husband made that might have had a trace amount of regular flour in it. In any case, the diet stays!!! ( & Malachi's mom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 I'm pretty sure it has carmel coloring. We(and apparently you too) have eliminated all colored sodas. gets an occasional 7-UP or Sprite. It's actually kind of like when I was a kid when " pop " was a special thing that we didn't get every day. Pat in Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 I don't know if it's caramel coloring or what, but there definitely is something in Pepsi that lights up. He goes into wacko stimmy world and has nasty green diarrhea and foul smelling belches for 2 to 3 days after only a sip or two. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
