At the turning point ....need advice

October 30, 2001

Hi All,

My wife and I just got back from seeing an Autism specialist here in

Oregon and we are preparing to go on the the GFCF diet. We are going

to get our son 's urine/stool examined over the next week or so,

the specialist explained more about the diet and his suggestions for

doing the diet. These are the concerns that my wife and I have right

now, and I guess I would like your opinion on it. Our son is

high functioning and has been involved with EI / S.T.A.R. program

since we found out that he was Austic in 98. He has never had a

sleeping problem since he was born (sleeps fine every night, just

like clockwork), he has never had a chronic digestive problem (always

had and has normal B.M.'s). He is showing improvement with the work

were doing at home and at school. We are just afraid that since we

are so fortunate to have all of the above stated things that if we go

on this diet it may make things worse. We are at the turning point

right now and I am looking at all the advise and information I can

get. I've been on the GFCFdiet.com site and have been reading all of

the success stories, most of which had kids with sleeping / digestive

problems to begin with which case they really had nothing to loose.

What are your thoughts on our situation?
