Question about negative symptoms on gf/cf diet

[Guest guest]

We've done cf before and not sure if we really saw meaningful results

After about two months off casein (starting last February), we saw

improvement but we were also starting to use ABA techniques at home

and in July started formal ABA. Reintroduced milk in October and by

December, we saw old behaviors returning. Went gf/cf beginning of

March and can't say we see any positive results. A few infringements

have occurred with gluten with no problems cropping up. However,

since being on this diet, two things have changed for the worse: one

is that my son is always hungry. This may be an " escape " behavior

since he is often hungry at bedtime but it also happens in the

afternoon when there is no reason to escape (e.g. I give him a snack

and half an hour later he asks for more food...NEVER did this

before). The other symptom is lethargy. Again, I'm not sure if it's

connected, but after the first few weeks of being on the diet, he

started to act really tired all the time. We also removed his

vitamins at the advice of the DAN doctor and haven't yet started NU-

Thera. We are right now starting CLO and want to wait and see if we

see anything before starting something else.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Donna
