glutamate/GABA imbalance in ASD

June 7, 2006

Hi

I was reading a mail about some food wich have glutamate like salmon, apples,

tomatoes... I'm not sure but it refers to freshsalmon, fresh apples and fresh

tomatoes? or maybe it refers to food do not made in home? because my son eats

fresh salmon 1 or 2 times a week, and I'm a SCD begginer and I have given him

apples in small quantities for first time after more than a year without it. We

began since May 24th with the CSD but the seizures have not stopped. I know the

glutamate is like a bomb to my son...Some body can help me?

I think the message you read was referring to foods that have naturally high

levels of glutamate... not referring to foods with added MSG (mono-sodium

glutamate) or other additive sources of glutamates.

Avoidance of natural glutamates in foods is not really part of SCD, but I know

it's important for some kids. I'm sorry I really don't know much about the

issue. I think it is very difficult to avoid ALL foods that contain glutamates.

I have saved some past messages on the subject that may help. I will send them

to you privately.
