Re: and do a presentation called, Autism...a Family Affair. They are available for speaking engagements and have great comedic timing.

[Guest guest]

Hi Marcia,

Thanks for giving us all hope that some day our kids will do better too. As long

as I remember, your son's doctor was Goldberg. I was wondering if you

could give me some details on the diet he recommends. I read that he allows

white bread but advises against whole grains. Can you give some more information

as to what is allowed and what is not? I checked his website but there is very

little information on that. I would really appreciate your help. I hope that

your son succeeds in every aspect of his life.

Thanks

I seem to remember from his old website that he liked some of the guidelines of the Feingold Dietand he did prefer squishy processed bread like Wonder Bread over whole grain, b/c he felt the whole grain wasmore irritating to a sensitive bowel system.

I wonder if I could find the old page archived in google...
