Hello Charlotte,

I have three children that are autistic. I only have three living

children. It has been a long hard haul the past seven months. I

separated from my wife and took the children to another nearby town

and started to raise them like they needed. Beyond the problems in

the marraige due to her inability to cope with the children's autism

the children needed to be in a place where they could not get to

anything that had gluten or casien in it and they could get their

supplements and meds regularly.

Anyway my children have the same problem with being thirsty. I wish I

could tell you why but I am trying to be careful that they are not

using the drinking to be a meal replacement so they don't have to

deal with eating things they don't want.

To deal with the refusal to eat issue I use the drink as a bargaining

tool. For every bite the eat of something they don't really want they

get one or two swallows of their drink. (Usually something sweet)

When it is an issue of just wanting a drink I always offer water

first. Sometimes they drink the water happily sometimes they choose

to wait me out. I figure that they were not really that thirsty if

they refused the water. I also try to find a snack for them if they

refuse because I really believe that they are really hungry but ask

for a drink to get around the texture issue.

I can't answer your question because we didn't have that problem. However,

there is a web site just for kids on the gfcf diet and someone there can

answer it. Go to and sign up for theGFCF Recipes group.

Blessings!

Hi Charlotte,

My daughter has been on a Gluten and Casein Free diet since Oct. 2000. She is

now 7 1/2 years old and diagnosed with autism 4 1/2 years go. I too, always

thought that she had an incredible thirst. She got through 1 1/2 litres of

squash per week.I discovered a group called Autism Diet here in the UK and

through this group I found that I also needed to remove Monosodium Glutamate

from her diet too. I removed this substance in the summer of 2001 and now she

drinks just like an everyday child.

This group do have a website www.autismdiet.co.uk take a look.

We live in the UK. Please feel free to contact me and ask your questions. I am

no expert as such, apart from following this diet for the past two and a bit

years. But the group that we belong to is absolutely wonderful, there are so

many willing and helpful people that use the Forum. You can use the forum on the

website free of charge - but they do prefer you to be a member. You get an

information pack re the diet and it only costs sterling£10.00 per annum, you

also get quarterly magazines sent to you , that contains up-to-date info and

articles.

I wish you and all the members of this group a very Happy Christmas and New

Year.

Carol

eat meat and vegetables and get a high quality olive oil and sea salt and

cayenne to season your food and you are all set. it sounds grim but

honestly, you get used to it. the more you cheat, the longer it takes to get

well. I know since I started on a lax diet and did not get well and am now

on the most extreme diet.

Doesn't sound grim at all - in fact it sounds (and is) delicious! :)

Will you be adding any carbohydrates back into your diet soon?

Alison, I want to get totally well and for me the indicators of that would

be that throughout the whole month, besides my period, my secretions are

totally clear, with no milky secretions, AND that every morning when I wake

up there is no or very very little coating on my tongue in the morning. If I

quit before I have that result, I'm afraid that I will go right back to the

way I was, with yeast infections every two weeks. Thus, I keep on going. I

would like to be well for a good month or so, and be really sure that I am

clear of a systemic problem, not just symptoms, before I stop the

antifungals and start with probiotics again. so no, I do not plan to add

starches back until I get my results. I do eat squash though, almost every

day and there are a fair amount of carbs in them. I also eat one onion

(grilled) and an avocado every day. These foods are delicious and what with

whatever meat I am eating, I stay full. I eat a lot of food though - huge

salads, whole plates of green beans, etc. but I am satisfied. My mom came to

visit me this weekend and she says she thinks I look more healthy than ever,

though she was upset I would not drink a coffee with her... ha. I did try a

little sip of coffee the other day and it did not taste so good anymore,

especially when it is black.

another thing I discovered recently is cabbage. I eat almost every day is I

get a bag of shredded cabbage for cole slaw from the market and coat it in

olive oil and then salt it with sea salt. sometimes I chop an avocado into

that. when I eat that, I am more regular. It adds bulk and the olive oil

greases the organs and insides of the intestines, I suppose.

cheers.

I second that. I get good results from lo-starch veggies, fish, chicken,

eggs, red meat, and flax+olive oil, lemon... This is also the Chinese

dietary prescription for candida/parasites: " Gu Diet " .

The only time Ive never eaten salads, raw veggies etc is when the water is suspect & the water is needed to wash the food because of the danger in picking up typhoid or the like from countries such as Hong Kong & Bangkok. I eat these foods every day. Is there a danger of food contamination where you come from?

Hi Jan,

I have read that you can rinse the salad

or veggies in hydrogen peroxide and then rinse it well with water. I am too

lazy to do it, but is anyone else doing it?

It is to kill any viruses or bacteria on

them.

Galen.....I'm sure that it would depend on what type of auto immune

disease one had.Obviously those with certain bowel conditions can't or

shouldn't eat the same foods as I and perhaps the opposite is true?

Sharon....there is no reason to stop eating lettuce and raw veggies if

you have AIH...I

I've never heard of such a thing.....in fact you should eat even better

with liver disease to promote regeneration of liver cells. You might

want to watch your salt intake a little closer. I have just sent you a

site with general rules for eating with liver disease. Watch for it and

open it when you see it. As says....bon apetit.

Dear Galen

Yes. My GI told me to avoid those things and legumes because my meds already play havoc with my system, the gas was causing extreme pain and those foods create gas. I do notice a difference - he also said no fresh apples. It's hard because it seems contrary to healthly eating but I also have to limit my fluid intake to 48oz a day. My other drs agree so I do.

Amy, try peeling apple before you eat them. I can handle them without

the peel, but not with it. Same with pears.

Good luck,

Hi

For my daughter it's not about veggies or not. It's about balancing the acids in your body with alkaline foods. Eat whatever you want but try to have a Ph around 7 so the body doesn't go acid is what helps Jackie.

In the morning your stomach is acid so to add on more acid (like orangejuice) makes it worse but water wtih lime is alkaline and balances the Ph back to more neutral.

Junk food often doesn't have a lot of nutrition and thats why we give Jackie things like nonijuice or Xengo. Your body is a echological system and we notice it works better when we support the system with things it need rather than too much toxins and empty foods. But I am glad junkfood doesn't bother your Jra.

When I small child gets an illness I think it's important to try and look longterm on the body. It should last for an other 80 years hopefully and not colaps 20 years from now. About the diet that the people in the western world eat today, I think reasurch has started to prove that the food is to fat, to sweet and without alot of the vitamins and minerals we need. We all do what we think is best for us and I am glad I have found something that workes for Jackie since the drugs alone just made her worse.

All the best from

, mum to Jackie 6 with syst.poly.

Hi Connie hang in there. i have the hardest time with the diet as well. I

pratically cry because I don't know what to eat. i'm going to try three-lac I

heard you don't have to be so strict on your diet. You might want to give it a

try. Someone told me this suggestion go ahead buy some plain sugar free yogurt

throw some blueberries in it and add some stevia. I haven't tried it yet, but

it sounds delicious. If it makes you feel better I was eating stuff that had no

sugar in it, but had a-lot of carbohydrates. Who knew carborhydrates were a

form of sugar. The good thing about this diet is it won't last forever.

good health - Jill

If anyone would like samples of ThreeLac, they may contact me and I will send

some--I know what it is like to spend $ on things that don't work. This product

is so unbelievable on helping so many symptoms of candida--that I want to spread

the word.

In fact, I have improved hearing that resulted from candida--and my 7 year old

daughter has not had 1 ear infection this summer even though she is swimming

every day. Before I started her on the ThreeLac in May, she received an ear

infection in March from swimming once at a hotel. She also had constant ear

infections this past winter and last summer. If anyone knows someone with

constant ear infections---ThreeLac is definitely worth a try!

You may go to my website @ www.ghtdirect.com/lbumholtz for further information

regarding ThreeLac. It is so very exciting. You may also contact me regarding

my experience, if you would like, at any time.

Good luck everyone searching for candida solutions! I think anyone trying

ThreeLac will eradicate/kill candida!
