Re: GFCF and breastfeeding

June 25, 2001

Congratulations for getting your daughter diagnosed so early. Definitely

put them both on the diet and go GF/CF yourself. I did the diet myself for 8

months while nursing my now 1 year old daughter. She's doing great and is

actually ahead developmentally. While nursing I also took Flax Seed Oil,

Multivitamin, and Cod Liver Oil. Since they're so young I'd definitely look

into chelation (mercury removal). If you need more info. on this, let me know.

<< I'm brand new to the list. I have 2 daughters...the oldest, , just

turned 2 and was diagnosed with autism at 22 months. She's doing well with

speech, OT and lots of ABA. My husband and I recently became concerned that

our 9.5 month old Siobhan is starting to show some signs also. We have

decided to put both girls on the diet.

I am still nursing Siobhan and will keep nursing her as long as I can. Do I

need to go GFCF also? How strict do I need to be? I would appreciate any

advice and suggestions on how to manage this and still get the nutrients I

need. >>
