Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'd try it for a month and then re evaluate. I would also video before and then after so you can remember correctly I didn't think my 4 had issues either until the milk man took a day off and we ran out of milk. It was too crazy to go to the store that week. Amazingly the diarrhea and open lesions on 1 kid's rear cleared up along with the eczema on another. I had better behavior and not as many mood swings from the other 2. Keep in mind we were drinking 5-6 gallons of milk a week prior to this. Of course when he came again, We went back on it and wow the mood swings and diarrhea 4-5x a day returned. Usually just after giving child milk to drink. Google milk allergy. It is amazing what is out there. It is a complete paradigm shift. Good Luck _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Tia Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 4:00 PM Subject: [ ] Why GFCF? I feel stupid for asking this but I haven't been able to piece this info together by reading posts. What prompted those who follow a GCFC diet to do so? I often read that some children have " gut issues " but I have never fully understood what is being referenced - occasional diarrhea or serious GI issues? I know that GFCF is often recommended for autistic children and many people apply the same treatments to children with apraxia but is that based on the autism/apraxia alone or in combination with GI issues? My 3 year old son has never had any allergy problems (no congestion or skin issues), not a single ear infection, and no obvious GI issues (although he does often have slightly loose stools). He has a severe expressive speech delay and some vestibular-based sensory issues but it otherwise a very happy, healthy child. Based on the little I've shared here, would GFCF be appropriate for us (simply as a " treatment " for his speech delay)? Thanks for any info you can offer!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Just a mom here, not a dr. My son 2.25 years, expressive delay, mild low tone, mostly in trunk, peek a boo drooling and trouble closing lips. He had either one actual ear infection or none. My guy did have food allergies (citrus) and one serious and previously unexplained epsode of eczema. He had some colds and one respiratory infection as a baby but no big allergy problems nasalwise. I tried GFCF because it did seem to me his stool was soft and he pooped a lot but I thought it was too many bananas. In the end I just tried it for a day to see (also because I do have pretty bad GI stuff and thought it might help me figure out if he did). While it did not fix everything and I suspect he has more food allergies than we yet know it helped him and daughter with no obvious bowel stuff other than minor constipation with cheese. The dramatic changes in son's deficits and daughter's behavior and in me made us pursue with a gstro who suspects family issues. Some folks are asymptomatic or symptomatic in ways that are not obvious to the gut so I made the whole family try it and our joint discoveries were positive. That's our story. Good luck whatever you do:) Tia wrote: >I feel stupid for asking this but I haven't been able to piece this >info together by reading posts. What prompted those who follow a GCFC >diet to do so?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi Tia: If there is no intolerance or allergy to gluten or milk, I personally wouldn't do it. Increasing omega 3 also helps with increase eye contact, attention span, general mood, decrease in tantrums, helps with some sensory issues, increase in patients and it is healthy for so many different reasons. Tina http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-free,_casein-free_diet Effectiveness of the GFCF diet Reports on the effectiveness of the GFCF diet come overwhelmingly from testimonials of individual parents or teachers. Reported results range from reports that the diet has no discernible effect to claims of complete recovery following implementation of a gluten-free casein- free regimen.[5] A more common report suggests that removing casein and gluten from an autistic child's diet increases eye contact, attention span, and general mood while decreasing problems like tantrums, self-stimulatory behavior (or 'stimming') (such as hand- flapping and rocking) and aggression.[citation needed] > Tia wrote: > > >I feel stupid for asking this but I haven't been able to piece this > >info together by reading posts.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 One thing I forgot to mention, despite less gastro stuff now, son was so constipated on milk formula that when I gave him the mineral suppository fron the dr it flew acroos the room and he was a week old. It is a tough call. Even though we have benefitted from GFCF so far and I think it is part of the speech puzzle I am not too regretful about feeding him milk when I did. My reason: both kids labs are still pretty good considering celiac and concerns. If they only have intolerances and we got rid of it in time but it gave them what they needed when we might have done some good by accident. As we all know, this stuff is trial and error. As I type this my daughter is begging hubby for yogurt (we are new to GFCF and had some we forgot about in fridge). When she was told it would hurt her belly she asked for a veggie.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 The GF/CF diet is primarily used because children on the Autism spectrum tend to have damaged guts. A damaged gut that is inflamed, full of yeast and lesions may actually become permeable...literally little holes going through it. This is called a " leaky gut " . Unfortunately, a leaky gut is very, very damaging. Often it causes food intolerances, which aren't actually allergies, because undigested food particles are where they are not supposed to be. Gluten and Casein peptides (which are the forms of their undigested particles) that seep into the blood stream have the unfortunate coincidence of being in the same shape as opiates, like the drug opium. It is theorized that these peptides literally fill up the morphine/opiate receptors in some children....thus, the druggy, spaced out, goofy/silly, time that follows the indulgence with these foods. Worse, children can literally form an addiction to them. The strange behaviors some children have with these foods, combined with their craving for them, withdrawal from them, and improvement of symptoms without them lends many to believe this is true. Another theory is that gluten and casein (and other foods) stimulate an immune response that contributes to the general inflammatory burden of the GI tract and in the brain. (70% of the immune system is in the gut.) Still another theory is that a damaged/toxic/inflammed brain is not producing the proper digestive enzymes to digest gluten and casein. Regardless, many, many parents report marked improvement upon removing all gluten, casein, soy, corn, and other foods for these reasons. For the scientific studies supporting this and other reasons for the GF/CF diet, I highly, highly suggest the new book " Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians " by Jepson, M.D. and Jane . I'm referring to pages 61-63 in my summary. All studies are referenced in the back. Hope this helps. --------- [ ] Why GFCF? I feel stupid for asking this but I haven't been able to piece this info together by reading posts. What prompted those who follow a GCFC diet to do so?

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I personally haven't had much luck getting my pediatrician to run labs, so for me it has been a lot of reading, figuring out on my own, and reading messages. Hopefully that will change soon after I have my consult with the new peditrician. I agree with rule out Celiac disease. Look at your family history...some issues may not even be related to apraxia...my husband's side of the family has a lactose intolerance issue, my side of the family has constipation issues. My son battled severe constipation for over a year. Could be a number of reasons...motor planning, dairy, Irratable Bowel Syndrome, sluggish colon...the list goes on. Since being potty trained, no constipation issues. I do have to limit his milk intake...no diarhea, but he is probably a little lactose intolerant...again family members are lactose intolerant with the same symptoms as my son. If it isn't Celiac Disease and there is still issues there are a number of tests for lactose intolerance, food allergies, blood work, GI doctors, etc...some might not be as reliable as others, but there is possible tests to figure out these issues without changing diets. Sensory issues can also affect behavior. Sensitivities and being over-stimulated all the time, there is going to be behavioral issues. I don't usually write to much about these different issues, but there is so many new members coming to this board every week to learn about apraxia, and these different topics may be a little confusing to the new members. As we have all found out in the last 6 months or so, there is more to apraxia than just speech. These topics are extrememly important to learn about also, but at the same time we need to have a little more reason to make diet changes rather than just because. If you have a child that is a picky eater by nature, think of all the benefits drinking milk has. Why would you take it out of their diets if it isn't necessary?

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Liz: This group is able to to talk about whatever topics without censorship, and that is the way it will always be! When new members come to this board asking about what they should do to help their late talker... " Get rid of the milk/dairy " is not the answer. That has been one of your answers in the past for late talker with a history of ear infections. It is great that this diet has helped your family, but it is not one of the recommended diets for a speech delay or speech disorder like apraxia. Some parents come to this board desperate for answers/information...We have all been there and giving the appropriate recommendations for a speech problem is the most important information we can possibly pass along...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Mea culpa. You are right. One of the negatives of email. I sent that too quick and thought, darn it, I meant for a day to see any changes, use supervision, etc. and I meant to merely suggest it as an alternative and not as forcefully as I did with that simple statement of get rid of the milk. I am truly sorry. trmckenna1 wrote: >Liz: >This group is able to to talk about whatever topics without >censorship, and that is the way it will always be!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I think this board is helpful because everybody can share their opinions about what might help. Some have a " philosophy " and won't let you discuss anything that varies. Different things work for different people because... well, each kid is different!

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 go to www.generationrescue.com - in fact everyone on this board should go to this site and spend some time reading.
