Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 Hi, We took our son to see Dr. Ann Block in early 1999. We had a battery of tests performed. Interestingly, the skin allergic reactions were more numerous with Block's skin tests as opposed to those that surfaced with blood tests done. Her recommendations basically put our son onto a GFCF diet, as well as eliminating corn and potatoes. Needless to say, he became quite thin. But he began to improve within a couple of weeks. Now he eats some corn, some potato (with no problems) and he remains GFCF. Dr. Block has collaborated with our physician (Jeff Bradstreet in FL) so she knows what we are doing now and we periodically send her updates on our son's progress. She is very nice and is a pioneer as a woman and physician in helping autistic/ADD/ADHD/AS children. She was great! Felicia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 Why did she have you eliminate corn and potatoes? Did your son test positive for these foods or was it for some other reason?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 He showed sensitivity on the skin test for potatoes and corn, however, via blood testing, just very mild sensitivity for potatoes only. I don't know why it doesn't show up via both testing methods. Felicia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 She is located in Hurst, Texas. At least she was in late 1998. She runs the Block Center . Her book, No More Ritalin is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
