Allergy Symptoms? Diet help....

[Guest guest]

Hey Everybody-

We'll be seeing Dr. Goldberg, for my son's initial visit, within the

next 2 months.

Here's my question: does anybody know as to whether or not I should

be implementing the dietary changes NOW, before I've seen Dr.

Goldberg or had any of the lab work done?

To my knowledge, my son does not have an allergy or sensitivity to

any foods. No gastrointestional distress, no vomitting, diarrhea, no

rashes, no eczema. He'll eat just about anything, with a few

exceptions.

Does this mean he doesn't have food allergies? We took him off

casein 2 weeks ago and haven't seen any real changes physically or in

his behavior. Is it too soon to tell?

I'm also still confused about what really is/is not okay re: gluten

on this diet. I've gotten the " Diet Do's & Don'ts " off the web.

Basically, what I understand, is that bread is okay...just make sure

it's super processed. NO whole grains of any kind. You can have

waffles, pancakes, cereal, crackers...etc, just as long as it's not

whole grain, contain casein or potential allergens (specific to your

child).

Am I in the ball park?

I guess I'm still trying to reconcile the HUGE differences between

Dr. Goldberg's recommendations and the DAN! Dr. Protocol. Here's

another questions: what does Dr. Goldberg think about the theory of

the " opiate effect " these foods cause?

I know so many of you have been where I am at. Any suggestions or

advice would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to email me directly

if you'd like.
