Spectrum Disorder/Was gfcf testing

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Every child on the AS is different, and diagnosing the " milder " (less

stereotypical) children can be difficult unless the diagnostician is

really up on things and has seen a zillion children. I knew my child

was on the spectrum 5 years before I could get a dx. You are not

alone.

Try www.gluton-free.org for info on peptides and AD/HD. Some celiac

disease websites also talk about CD (gluton intolerance) causing

behaviourial problems and mental illness. Also, wheat often causes

eczema.

read about someone asking if there was a website on kids who benefit

from the diet who are not autistic and I would be interested also. My

son is not autistic . He has had severe behavioral problems, excema,

speech apraxia and some processing issues and fine motor skill

problems. I don't know what he is, my guess is perhaps on the

spectrum? I had his peptides tested and he was very high on gluten

and casein so I started the diet 3 months ago. His behavior improved

tremendously! His excema cleared up and there is slight improvement

in the other areas. Do non autistic kids have high peptides or maybe

he is somewhat autistic? If I had him diagnosed now he wouldn't seem

as bad as he was. In the past I couldn't even get him into a doctors

office at all. Just wondering if anyone else has a kid like

mine.Thanks.
