RE: labs normal

[Guest guest]

Joyce W and ALL:

My the mouth of one of my heros Karyn Seroussi:

Just for the record- and I have heard from so many people that the

test results were not consistent with response to the diet. These peptides

can degrade in the urine during storage and shipping.

As hard as it is to try the diet without a guarantee, it is important to

make sure that none of the responders slip through the cracks. We emphasize

that every child with autistic behaviors needs a 3-month trial on the diet,

regardless of the test results. In my opinion, until there is more accurate

testing available, testing should be considered optional, and could be used

simply as a guideline.

Children who often respond to the diet may have the following symptoms:

Gastrointestinal problems

Self-limited diet (usually to milk/wheat)

Insensitivity to pain

I always say that if your child has the above symptoms, you must try the

diet. If your child has none of the above symptoms, you must try the diet.

labs normal

We got a verbal result that the following tested

WithinNormalLimits

Urine Amino Acids Within Normal Limits

Urine Organic Acids Within Normal Limits

Blood Amino Acids Within Normal Limits

Does this mean anything without knowing the numbers? i have

to put in a

written request for the

copies of the lab results.

Also, Does this have any bearing on whether or not GFCF will

help?
