Re: CAN YOU PLS GIVE ME SOME ADVICE/

[Guest guest]

The reason most people go CF as well as GF is that when broken down,

the casein molecule is very similar in structure to the gluten

molecule. So, the theory being if you aren't tolerating gluten, you

probably won't tolerate dairy either. Both gluten and dairy are on

the top 10 high allergan list, so it isn't uncommon not to tolerate

them. Soy can be controversial - some folks love it, others avoid it.

Good Karma brand makes really creamy non-dairy ice cream substitute.

I *think* it is called Rice Supreme. My kids love it.

Your child doesn't have to be Celiac to not tolerate gluten.

As far as biomedical goes - there are a few good books out there that

actually are written by MD's who specifically treat autistic/PDD

(among other) kids. They will outline tests, what they mean, why do

do them. They will also outline supplements and why you need them

and what they do for the body. The first one that comes to mind

is " Children with Starving Brains " by Dr. McCandless. I

gave my regular pediatrician my copy when we first started out and

she " ah ha'd! " it. Dr. Jepson is another one to look for.

Folks are also talking about Dr. Bock's book (haven't read it

personally). Your dad could read one of the above and probably get a

really clear idea of what biomedical treatments are meant to do.

Maybe this helps shed some more light on the biomedical thing for you.

Good luck -Stephanee
