Re: Off GFCF For Good: WARNING! CONTROVERSIAL!

[Guest guest]

and all,

We have been gfcf for almost 2 years and have not seen any dramatic

improvement with the diet. I too recommend it to all parents, but I do not

believe it works for all kids. We did challenge it a couple of months ago,

but my son got very sick for 5 weeks and not knowing what it was at the time

we decided to go back on the diet. It ended up being a severe sinus

infection and we are currently challenging again with no ill effects so far.

I TOTALLY Agree with you !!!

In my opinion ( and it is my opinion only), from all that I have read

and researched, the main problems with our diets today is that alot

of the food that we buy is so laden with chemicals, preservatives, dyes,

and hydrogenated oils!!! I really feel that this is the biggest issue

with our kids diets and not so much the gluten and casein ( excess amounts

of

gluten and casein YES!).

We are still CF, but I have started rotating Gluten back into my kids diets

with

no problems ( I really didn't see any real changes by going gluten free). I

now

only by organic and buy very little prepackaged foods and try to always

rotate foods.

I also believe that every child is different( some do probably need to be

GF/CF). The main thing that REALLY bothers me about the GFCF diet, Is that

alot of the foods on the acceptable list, I wouldn't feed my cat. ALot of

these

foods are prepackaged JUNK.

Just my opinion

Laurie I don't know because I saw that differently. I thought the list is

simply telling you whether it has gluten or casein in it, not whether it is

really acceptable for your child. I would think that is more parental

judgement. Just because dum dum lollipops are GFCF doesn't mean I will give

my child 5 a day. My kids are eating better now then ever. Before GFCF Kraft

mac. n cheese, processed cheese food slices, fast food nuggets were easy

excuses for me. Thought of as kid food. Now I use the list to assist in

finding what is GFCF but I am being very selective about what I choose from

it.
