Lolita, isn't that just the point? There have not been double blind

studies to prove the GFCF diet either, but you see what it does for your

kids and you believe in it. Others see what the enzymes they are using

(even with dietary infractions) are doing for *their* kids and they

believe in that way of bringing up their young ones. I really think all

of us must just decide for our own kids and keep the communications

pathways open to telling others *why* we believe the way we do. But we

should not cross the boundary of telling others that they must raise

their children exactly the way we are raising ours. With respect,

So, my argument for the diet is that it is proven in the celiac community,

whereas enzymes are not. And I believe there is enough evidence for me, of

a connection between ASD and celiac to say that until enzyme usage is

proven to the celiac community it is best to remove the foods that are

causing damage, for all my children.

, I thought I was stating my opinion, the " why " I believe the way I do.

I certainly did not mean to come off argumentative or insulting. If this is

the way I appeared then please accept my apology. I'm quite sure those who

use enzymes rather than diet believe that it is helping. But being that I

believe as I have stated, I wouldn't recommend it to someone, so began this

discussion. Perhaps it would be best that I not state my opinion, unless I

am able to present others' opinions as well? Or maybe each of us can state

our opinions without arguing?
