Starting a GFCF Diet for a constipated child

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My son was recently diagnosed with high functioning autism. As we wait for our

appointment with a biomedical doc, we are thinking about starting a GFCF diet.

My concern is that our son already has an issue with constipation and it seems

the diet calls for a lot of rice and not so much fiber. Does anyone have any

suggestions on where to start and how to make sure his constipation doesn't get

worse?

And should we start giving him a nutritional supplement now or wait until we see

the doc?

Thanks from a newbie to all of this,

Kathy
