Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Good afternoon everyone, I've never posted here, but I have been reading everything and the amount of information is wonderful! Could someone tell me if I've possibly waited too long to be able to help my daughter with this diet? She is now 5 years old, autistic, very sweet and loving, but has very little speech. She has been gluten/milk free since she was 13 months old, but we're still at a standstill with speech. I would just love more than anything to hear her little voice more often. We started this diet at the beginning of August and have seen some wonderful things (she learned to ride her bike, much better understanding, trying harder with siblings and their friends, etc.), but her speech hasn't progressed at all. I know I can't expect things to change this quickly, but does anyone know if it's possible that this diet will help her with speech eventually? Thank you for reading!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Shellie, My daughter and I have been on this diet 95% since May 16, 2005. She is also 5 with autism. She is also well behind on her speech. We changed her schooling from ABA to floortime approach and also added the homemade yogurt and she has started to imitate a lot of words now. This diet has helped her bm's, sleeping and behavior. Thank God for using Elaine to teach us about SCD!
