Hi, I came here from the gfcf group. I am the mother of 2 special

kids and I am expecting in August. My son, will be 4 in June, he has

autism. I and both children are sensitive to dairy and soy and have

removed those from our diet. I have decided to give the gfcf diet a

try to see if he improves, but I do not have access to the substitute

items needed locally. I would have to order online and pay for

shipping. My other child is disabled so I am a very busy momma. I

want to eliminate gluten mostly and casein and soy completely and use

enzymes to cover the rest. I am considering using the enzymes

because I know I have digestion issues, bust I am pg and concerned

about the safety of enzymes in pg. I have sensitivities to dairy and

soy and have gas alot and diarhea when I eat more than a bite of

corn. My little girl is fed with a g tube and I blend foods for her

and am concerned that she doesn't digest well either and want to try

enzymes for her. I have a hard time getting enough protein through

her tube because she is so sensitive, she only tolerates some plain

meats and throws up violently if she has dairy, soy, corn or eggs and

flax oil seems to bother her now. We are a family of extremely

limited means so I am looking for the most economical solutions for

my family's digestion issues. I have looked at the prices of the

gfcf food and compared it to our regular food and it is like 5-10

times more. I looked at the enzymes and it looks like that might be

easier and cheaper for us. We cannot afford testing to find out what

we need to eliminate and I have read that testing is not all that

reliable anyway.
