Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Our son also has PDD-NOS and had an extremely limited diet...most of our children do. Noah's diet is still limited much much better than it was prior to the diet. This is also very true about the cravings as most of the children eat all the same foods you are mentioning. There are great chicken nuggets, cheese, pizza and spaghetti I can recommend that are GF/CF. I am happy to help you get started if you would like to learn more about it. Feel free to email or call.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm curious if anyone has had results with a child who is high-functioning and put them on a gfcf diet. It seems all I read are kids who have pretty severe autism and/or they have physical symptoms (leaky gut, constipation, etc.). My son is hardly ever sick - he's never missed a day of school (he's going into 4th grade), has a good appetite, etc. I would just like to hear some parents who had a child who was always higher functioning and/or never had any health issues, if a special diet helped with their child with other issues (e.g., anxiety, stress, stimming, etc.). If anyone has some input, I'd love to hear it. I'm thinking of finding a dan dr and getting my son tested just in case it may help, even in a small way; however, I really don't want to put him through a lot of testing, etc. and all the money (insurance doesn't cover) unless I really think it may help a little. thoughts?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Okay, you have just pretty much listed my son's diet except for the addition of cottage cheese. My son eats that everyday. And, he ONLY and I mean ONLY drinks milk. Seems impossible to me to go on a casein free diet then! -----Original Message----- From: tara517@... <tara517@...> Sent: Tue, Aug 4, 2009 5:28 pm Subject: [ ] Re: Ecolaliah Thanks for the information, I have heard of the diet but wondered if it would help my son or not.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 It is truly not impossible, challenging, but doable. There are many milk substitutes for your son and so many GF/CF products that are great. We have tried so many and can give you a list if you want to try. My son, only drinks water, so I know what you mean. Happy to help if you want to email sharigoldberg22@... In a message dated 8/5/2009 8:18:43 P.M.
