Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 > * > OK, now I am totally baffled. The purpose of this diet? The purpose of just taking Peptizyde? The discussion of taking enzymes with the diet has been going on for several years and is not a new concept. Our bodies are still GFCF (of course, like any of the therapies and supplements you will need to see if it works for you satisfactorily). Each person has to go with what works best for them and their comfort level. Isn't the point of the diet to get your child healed and functioning better? Isn't that the goal of the enzymes? or supplements? or anything we do for our kids? Of course, you need to follow what you are comfortable with. Without being 100% GFCF you never really got to > see the benefits that this diet can bring your child.

What benefits are you talking about? I thought the goal was to be GFCF which can be accomplished by the diet and/or enzymes? If your body is free of " bad " peptides, your body doesn't care as long as the peptides are not there. What other benefits are do you mean? Yes, its probably cheaper and > easier like you said, but what are you gaining?

Well, to me if it is easier and cheaper I am gaining the ease and extra money. Also, the stress is less. I never said the GFCF diet was unhealthy. But it is not unhealthy not to be 100% GFCF. You can be healthy or unhealthy eating a number of ways. Again, I don't follow what you mean. Unless you don't like cow's milk for other reasons. But that is another issue and not a autism spectrum healing issue. I definitely feel better about having cows milk in our diet, and now that is possible. That may not be a concern for you. I know many people really have adjusted wonderfully to this diet, but we just aren't and I don't want to do it just for fun, because for us it is not. This is merely an option to achieving the same goals. I am really looking forward to your reply.
