Hi Sharon

Didn't get a chance to say hello, how about enzymes on the other list LOL,

you got here quick!

I guess whoever pointed you here has recommended s site and book - see

www.enzymestuff.com

I think I recall you saying you thought you have seen some differences with

the diet - was that behaviour or physical stuff? Does he have troubles with his

bowels? What does he like to eat? All this will help others suggest where to

start etc.

Something that seems to have good effect on most of our children is reducing

sugar, MSG, Aspartame and artificial colours and preservatives. Thats good

stuff to be getting on with while you figure out the enzymes stuff.

Good luck

oops Sharon I forgot to say, that most of not all the listers on GFCFKids UK

are using Houston Enzymes. We have a distributor in the UK now (Scotland

even!!) the number to call is on Devins site along with some more info on the

enzymes.

Hi Sharon,

I'm from Dunfermline but study in Dundee. I have 2 boys, Jas is 11 and has

Asperger's, Joe is 9 and has ASD and developmental delay. Joe has been GFCF

for two years, but I can't help you on menu ideas as he self-restricts his

diet to about six things. I've (very) recently started him on enzymes, but

it's too soon to tell how well he'll do on them. E-mail me off-list if you

want to chat.

Hi Nic, thank you very much for replying to my plight for help. How on earth do

you cope? hasn't even been officially diagnosed yet and on occassions

it all gets too much for me. He has been GFCF for more or less a month now and

to be perfectly honest, I know it's still early days, but I don't know if I'm

doing more harm than good. (for both of us) His behaviour recently has been

particularly bad (especially when out and about in supermarkets) and I often

feel at the end of my tether. I am coming off on Annual Leave on Wednesday so

shall be spending a lot of time either on-line or with my head in a book

learning what I can on enzymes. I'm sorry, I've started moaning and groaning and

you will no doubt have plenty on your own plate.

It's very inspiring to learn that you are studying at the moment despite

everything else that is going on for you. I was supposed to be starting an Open

University course in January this year but decided to defer until things had

settled at home and I got my head around all of this. Maybe there is hope for

me yet.

Thanks again and keep me in touch with how the enzymes are going. GOOD LUCK

Sharon
