Re: Is this just withdrawal?

[Guest guest]

My son never chewed himself or his clothes before the diet, but started to

about 9 months into the diet. I believe that when his body got used to no

g&c it began reacting to something else when caused that reaction. I have

an appointment with a DAN Doctor in April to try and find out what else is

going on. Good luck & keep in touch. -Phyllis

Is this just withdrawal?

> My son has been GF since 21 January.....almost a month. We started

tapering him off at the same time we went Cf in August of 2000. I am very

careful to read ingredients of what I give him and pretty much make things

from scratch for him. He has been hyper and talking fast, some

aggressiveness and has been chewing on his sleeve and arm when he doesn't

have a shirt on. He hasn't chewed on his arm for a year or more (he would

leave marks before). There have been some changes at school one being they

change bus drivers and aides several times a week, and the other being that

we are asking for ABA and the teachers are starting to act a little on the

cold side to me, don't know about my son. When my husband is around on the

other hand they are as nice as they can be. Anyway....is this something

that I could attribute to the withdrawal from the gluten, has anyone else

had this happen to their kids?

Judy,

Hang in there with the diet. You are likely to see alot of these

behaviors and possible increase in aggression. Have you considered

looking at other common allergens such as soy, corn, peanusts etc... it

could be that you are now seeing reactions to other foods that he is

sensitive to.

The coldness about the ABA program is pretty commom. STAND your ground

and don't take no for an answer. There are many studies that show that

ABA is a very effective way to reach your child. As far as them being

nice to your husband.... I think that this is very common as well. For

some reason they get more intimidated by a man. That is why I always

have my husband present at all IEP meetings.

Yes...about 2 months of pure " heck " with my son... started sucking on

his four fingers together in his mouth....sensory feedback issues.

Looking for textures in his mouth...etc...

gluten is said to take a full year to withdraw...

then I realized that he got some through a product containing food

starch...not stipulated as FOOD STARCH(CORN)...

reference.... www.gfcfdiet.com

they have updated some products that claim to be GFCF, however, can

endure contamination while on the " assembly line " ...
