Feingold diet www.Feingold.Org. ; considering GFCF

April 2, 2001

I'm in Sacramento and am having to educate (with my very limited

knowledge) EVERYONE I'm coming into contact with down at the Kaiser

clinic. I gave up on the dietician who claimed to know everything about

leaky gut, yet insisted that ate better than most children his age

and that he doesn't even need a daily vit suppliment. *sigh*

My son's pediatrician (NP really) has been asking everyone she can think

of, including the specialists and those who 'should' know, if we can get

a Peptide test. They have no idea what she's talking about. She's not

sure if she can prescribe outside of the Kaiser system but I think she

assumes that if I get the info then their lab can follow up and make

their own test?? I think it's time to change insurance companies.

n posted last week about the best places for this test. It is a

urinalysis test that shows whether casein and/or gluten opioids are

circulating in the body. I don't think any insurance covers it as

the opioid theory isn't mainstream med and there doesn't seem to be a

standard or norm for the results.

Ian's test results pushed me into gfcf, but I later learned that the

lab I used is not state of the art and the results may not have been

accurate. However, the withdrawal period and improvements on the

diet really proved to me, more than any test could, that we needed to

be gfcf.
