Gluten, casein, soya, sugar free and low carb diet

[Guest guest]

Dear members,I've been to see Dr. G today and he's said that although my son is already on a gluten, casein and soya free diet (low sugar too), he needs to also eliminate sugar and carbs... one side of me thinks, my poor boy but am I doing more harm than good?We're within the second month of the diet and as a family we have made considerable changes already. Where do I start and what I will give my son if he can't eat wheat, dairy, sugar, potatoes, rice, sugar and some of his favourite fruits like banana, mango, pineapple and apple?Dr. G has referred him to a nutritionist where we live who is an ASD specialist but until we get contacted any advice would be appreciated. My attempts to cook from scratch have been rubbish and the biscuits I buy from the supermarket (Orgram gluten, casein egg and soya free) are a no no. I'm not a baker and I've sincerely tried. How can I get my autistic little boy to eat such a strict diet? He's done lots of tests today and the only thing we've been prescribed was culturelle... has this helped your child?Many thanksRoni

Have you looked at the GAPs diet or the specific carb diet? Would these be

acceptable?

Have you looked in Specific Carbohydrate Diet? Not that you would need to follow it strictly, but there are loads of recipes and guidelines that would be helpful to you. There are several websites out there, and also the book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Breaking-Vicious-Cycle-Intestinal-Through/dp/0969276818/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid=1339838215 & sr=8-2This is the original book with few recipes, but if you google Specific Carbohydrate Diet more websites will come up that are loaded with recipes. Pecanbread.com is one of those, run by ASD parents. http://pecanbread.com/Also if you type in Specific Carbohydrate Diet in amazon you'll get lots of book recommendations. We were SCD for almost 3 years – well strict SCD for less then a year and then loosened up for the rest of period. It helped A LOT, our child was a 'gut' kid and couldn't digest sugars and complex carbs. Many asd kids can't. Are you using digestive enzymes, they also can help.Best of luck!
