B vitamins and the quest for the perfect diet!

January 10, 2008

OK, we have gluten sensitivity genes in the speech kid and I believe a

casaein allergy in that kid as well as overexposure to fluoride. We have

gluten sensitivity genes and DQ2, the most common and seemingly " benign "

celiac gene in NT daughter. I don't think casein is her deal but

fluoride overexposure was.

They are both GFCF and mostly SF except for an occasional mid treat (3

times in 7 months).

They are doing well but:

1) Elimination diet shows gluten to be her enemy more than milk and the

reverse for him.

2) We will test with the GI at the 1 year mark.

I would like to stay on this diet for him because I think he needs it.

For her the constipation makes me wonder. If she were simply celiac she

would be fine with the diet and supports we have. I worry about B

vitamins and dietary fiber. Suggestions for both until we get to the one

year mark are greatly appreciated. Remember, we are avoiding fluoride as

well. This may just be a passing thing though. She finally got back on

meat. Just would not eat it, so we are progressing and it may simply

take time to level her out.
