Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 on Long Island- If the GFCF is effective, then it is proof that the child's body does not properly process foods. There must be some missing element in the child's digestive system. In diabetes, for instance, many bodies require insulin to be introduced in order to normalize. Diabetics do not have the option to remove sugars 100% from their diet. Our kids have the option to remove gluten and casein. You have chosen to exercise this option and maintain that approach steadfastly. There appears to now be an alternative that replaces the element that the body is SUPPOSED to have (not some foreign chemical, as it seems you perceive) in much the same way that insulin is the missing element to a diabetic. Your point of whether " popping enzymes " is or is not GF/CF is a matter of semantics. For many, GF/CF means free of gluteomorphine and casomorphine. Whether that is accomplished by removing the offending allergen or causing the body to correctly process foods so as not to create the peptides becomes a matter of perspective. It's not the food that's the enemy - it's the peptide. It shouldn't be each other that's the enemy, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
