new member help-RAST or peptide

[Guest guest]

You asked----Did you do a urine peptide test or RAST testing? What are

the differences

First the testing is not necessary-we did none and have had huge improvment in

my child but if you are wanting a test to see if the diet may help before going

on it do the peptide test. A RAST test is for classic allergies and will not

determine if gfcf will help. It is not a allergy to gluten and casein that

causes the problem-it is the inability to properly digest these protiens-leading

to excess peptides that is the real problem. Now Your child could very well also

have an allergy to foods in this case a RAST test or other form of conventional

allergy testing would be usefull-you could eliminate gluten and casein based on

the peptide therory and you could eliminate other allergens at the same time

increasing you odds that the diet will help ypur child function better. I

understand your concerns over eating and my advice woud be to dtart

experimenting with cooking gfcf food before you commit to it that way some food

would be familiar when you start and you would also know what he will eat and

what he likes. F
