how long can the initial regression be?

[Guest guest]

My son has been on the gfcf diet for 3 weeks now. We're not sure if

we've seen any improvement because he normally goes through echolalic

phases and then nothing for a couple of months. What we have seen is

a sudden onset of SEVERE, frequent tantrums. At times, they are

uncontrollable. This has only happened once before, and it was just

as we were trying to determine what type of developmental delay he

had--autism had not even been mentioned yet. Luckily, the stint was

only about two weeks long. This has been going on since the day we

began the diet. Does anyone out there know, or have an idea about

how long the regression period is, on average? I really can't take

much more of watching my child screaming and rolling all over the

floor.
