Guest guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 Hi, I am just wondering if any of you have any words of advice for me. For those who have read any of my posts before, I am the mother of (age & 7), and he has responded wonderfully to this diet. He has a bit of an attention problem, but besides that he is fine. He has normal speech, normal intelligence, etc. He had been receiving EPD (enzyme potentiated desensitization)...he received 6 shots, and then the FDA banned it. He still is gluten and casein free, but has recovered from his corn, egg, preservative allergies. The other day we had a slip-up, the first one in years. My husband accidentally bought the Van's waffles that are made with wheat, rather than the gluten-free kind. He gave these to for breakfast. They have wheat and milk powder in them. We quickly gave him a pepcid AC, and he has had absolutely no reactions. His reaction used to be severe to accidents such as this. Now I am wondering if the EPD treatment may have helped his gluten/casein allergies more than I thought, because I had been too afraid to try these, although he has had a couple shots since we gave him some gluten and he reacted to it. I am thinking maybe it is just the fact that he has been on the diet 3 1/2 years and maybe he would not have as bad a reaction to it now. I am definitely not going to just start adding wheat or milk back to his diet, but I am wondering if maybe he could handle an occasional restaurant dinner or something???...Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could now tell if he still has the severe gluten and casein allergy he used to without harming him in any way?
