Re: side effects of starting diet

[Guest guest]

Here is my son's diet story

My son had sleep issues until I removed the highly phenolic foods.

If your son eats fruit, you can suspect this issue also. Here is my

information on that.

Soy could be causing the gas or stool problems if he didi nto have them

prediet.For some soy is not tolerated well.In my experience athe problems

you mentioned if present prediet can get temporarily worse during

withdrawel-but if they are new problems for him I might suspect somthing new

added to his diet might be the cause. Such as if you are using guar gum as a

binder in food-that can cause gas and loose stools in some-simple fix is to

switch to xanthan gum. Sleep problems are usually common among ASD kids but

for many it improves greatly on the diet-it may be a initial adjustment

period to bieng without gluten and casein contaioning foods. The diet is

healthy and can be well balanced the only thing really needed for good

health is supplemtation with calcium or the intreduction of alternative

calcium rich foods like beans. Lis aF
