Re: Anyone using this diet for kids not on spectrum but close?

[Guest guest]

I was wondering the same thing. My son has Down Syndrome, which has some

similarities to Autism.

, I have 3 children, and for ease I put all of them (and

myself) on the diet. My middle child has always been extremely

anxious, fearful and obviously DSI (SID?). As an infant she refused

to be cuddled, if you can imagine. She hated getting

dirty/wet/touched. She also struggled with chronic constipation.

Although I wasn't expecting any *results* with her, she is now

playing in the rain, in bare feet. She is coming in filthy from

playing outside and laughing about it. She is hanging by her knees

from the jungle gym. She fell the other day -- the child who used to

shriek if anyone so much as touched her or gently bumped into her

just got up, shook herself off, said *ouch* and went on with her

day. She has turned into a snuggle bunny who loves cuddling and

doesn't shy away from a peck on the forehead.

Soooo ... I say go for it! It won't hurt, and it may be wonderful!

BTW my brain fog is gone (not to mention chronic constipation), my

son's language delays have disappeared completely, and his aggression

only returns when we slip up on the diet. My other daughter's

subclinical seizures/spaciness *seem* to only occur when we have an

infringement -- this one I'm not 100% confident about because it

could be wishful thinking on my part and her neurologist says *no

way*.
