Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 1.think of it like very strong cravings. Did you ever crave somthing in the middle of the night when pregnant? I think their cravings for gluten and casein are even stronger than those. Addicts will go to any length to get a fix-an example would be my son licking the fridge for traces of leftover forbidden food. Or if they start eating nonfood items looking for the same feeling they get when eating gluten or casein. 2. This question comes up alot-but the general opinion is indefinatly-or untill the gut heals-but no one is sure when that happens exactly. I dont have a DAN doctor right now-because I cant afford one. I reasearch,study and tr things out on my own.But if you can afford it a good DAN doctor could be a great asset. The basic gfcf diet Is nutritionally sound. Fruit ,veggies, meat, beans. The biggest thing your are changing is the grain you use. quinoa is far superior to wheat in nutritional value followed by millet-both gfcf grains. You may run low in EFA,or B vitimins so we suppplement with a good multi every day to be sure. and of course calicium/mag suplementation because of no dairy products. www.gfcfdiet.com also has a link to a dietician -she has answered questions promptly for me via email in the past. 3. For us once the gluten and casein had cleared out of his system-reactions were obvious.He lost receptive lanaguage-and would tantrum almost all day-in addition to not sleeping for about three days following an accedent in diet. This for us includes nonfood exposure to gluten-but in out case handeling casein has not affected him{although eating it would.} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 F, thanks so much for your reply. It helps to know that there are so many Parents out there who are willing to help us that are new to this. One more question please, What is a DAN DR? I've heard it mentioned a lot in here. Thanks again, Rhonda in CA Mother to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
