Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Hi Janelle- I haven't been gfcf; it's been enough to get my son started the past month. But after what you're saying I may consider it. The expense of having 2 of us on it would be tough though. Thanks, Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Michele, I'm not a dr., but my allergy, rashy pregnancy produced my allergic, rashy child. Are you gfcf? It might help prevent future problems with the baby. Also, when you are breastfeeding, keep yourself on a strict gfcf diet and you won't regret it! I wish I had known, it would have reduced a lot of allergic, rashy symptoms I am sure! Janelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Michele, I know what you mean about the expense. I guess when I started the diet, I assumed the entire family would be gfcf to make my life easier. I am beginning to consider buying some non gfcf items, for the rest of us, that are cheaper. When I was breastfeeding, the pedi gastro. told me to stop consuming dairy products if I wanted to keep nursing. The dairy, apparently, was causing problems with my baby. Well, I didn't know what " stop consuming dairy " meant. I saw some improvement, but am sure I would have seen more if I had known of all the dairy sources. Have you heard that some dr. are recommending you avoid dairy while pg as it may increase allergies in the baby? In my experience, what I ate while breastfeeding really, really affected both of my kids. They may be more sensitive than some, but it's worth a try. If I ever were to have another baby I would be gfcf before and after! Who knows.... Janelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Yes, he got vaccinations but my pediatrician tends to spread them out more than most. I have seen no correlation with his vaccinations and his regression. I do think they may have complicated an existing problem but not caused his autism. His hair analysis showed an extremely high amount of antimony poisoning. He started to improve after taking him out of the playpen but before any therapy or GFCF diet were started. Then we put him on the GFCF diet and within about a week, he went from very little eye contact to perfectly normal eye contact. He is a completely different kid. We are still waiting for home therapy to start. > Thank you for writing, . Did your son have any vaccinations? > Blessings, > Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
