Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 No one can say whether your child would have been autistic or not under any circumstances. My opinion is that if children display autism-like behaviors as a result of leaky gut and miraculously become normal after removing the culprit food, this was not a true case of autism.....Just my two....Anita B <EMMJTM@...> wrote: My son has a gluten allergy and what I am starting to consider a casein problem as well. What is the cause/etiology of these problems? I have heard so many things and I am confused: 1. Difficult birth- shoulder dystocia, double cord around the neck, prolonged apnea leading to what the doctor said was blood shunting from his bowel to his brain and heart 2. First feed was 10cc of formula, even though there was colostrum in the hospital fridge (don't get me started)- so no virgin gut, even though there was no formula after that 3. Family history of allergies on both sides, gluten on hubby's, lactose on mine... both of us fully vaxed and I had allergy shots 4. Genetic predisposition to vaccine reactions, basically someone insulted me and said my children are from an inferior gene pool! 5. Or the one DTaP shot I allowed him to get at 6 months. How would it affect his bowel? Does the virus/bacteria damage the intestine or is it the mercury (trace) and aluminum that was in the shot? 6. One more- would my child have been autistic if I had not discovered that he was allergic to gluten so early (10-12 months)? Or is it just the other way around, you treat autistic kids with a gluten/casein free diet? He is developmentally behind, because it took me 4-5 months to figure out what the problem was. Thanks again, Oh and I had GD when I was pregnant, so I loaded up on carbs, a lot of them, especially wheat products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I wouldn't say he is normal, yet. He is still behind, but not regressing. I think he is starting to react to other foods as well, so I'm just not sure where to go from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
