Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 Michele, Our AS son started the diet at age 9. That was two and a half years ago. What a difference! The first 6-8 months were rocky because of withdrawal and the learning curve on my part, but the changes have been so dramatic that no one who knows him, from teachers to relatives, would dream of offering him non-GFCF food. He is now nearly 12, in middle school and fully mainstreamed. I can't remember the last time he had a tantrum. He still has some social difficulties, and is definitely " quirky " but he has a few friends and is a pretty happy camper. I will say since starting the diet, we have also added in some nutritional therapies,and will soon be starting chelation. But his greatest leap came with the GFCF diet. It is never too late. in FL > Anyone having started the diet on an older child please feel free > to relate >> your experiences if comfortable privately or otherwise. >> >> Thank you, >> Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
