bars and gulping tons of milk he tends to like crunchy things so i'll have to

find some recipes that make gfcf things with a crunchy texture thanks for

There is so much more to look into than just the GF/CF diet. I know this is

probably so overwhelming to you right now but soon you will realize that

you'll have to look into a lot more issues, like yeast. For some it seems

like the diet is the answer. For others like us it is a lot more complicated.

Although the diet did help a lot (especially removing casein), it wasn't the

magic bullet. We have been doing the diet for 15 months and I know it's

helped a lot with healing his gut but the most gains we've seen are with

anti-fungals for yeast and chelation (mercury and heavy metal removal). We

are committed to this diet 100% and my son is so much healthier for it and we

don't have any behavioral issues except for tantrumming whenever we have to

come home when we're out. He's very sweet and good and all the teachers at

his school love working with him. I do think the diet is the foundation for

everything and is very important to heal them. Be committed to it 100% and

remove any foods you feel may be a problem. You may find there are lots

including soy, corn, apples, bananas, artificial colors and flavoring,

preservatives, and the list goes on and on. Adding supplements may also help

him a lot. Keep researching and you'll find all kinds of ways to help your

child. I'd be more than happy to help you with any questions and have

gathered a lot of recipes if you'd like them.

Also gorilla munch is our substitute for kix. My 2 1/2 year olds will also

eat frozen baby peas if I put them in their cups I put their snacks in and

they are still frozen. We call them snow peas.
