Now what?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I started the diet a couple weeks ago for my 10 yr aspergers and 5 yr

mild autistic sons. We had a blood test checking for glutein, casein and at

the last minute I asked for soy and peanut too since it was the staple of

their new diet. (Pediatrician said thye couldn't chck for corn too tho). The

tests came back neg on casein and glutein and the 10 yr old aspergers came

back mildly-mod peanut and soy!!! I feel like I am feeding him the poison

now in my effort to clean him up. What a shocker. I was actually thinking

there was a chance the 5 yr old would show up soy positive, since it was new

to his diet and the hyperactivity I have seen correlates with the diet

changes. SO now what? I think I will stick to the GFCF in spite of results,

Also I plan to keep up the CLO and vitamin supplements I started. I

orderedsome enzymes and want to start those too.

Anyone have any suggestions? I am trying not to be discouraged with the

diet. Does anyone know what the accuracy rate of lab bloodtests that th

pediatrician orders (at my request).

Thanks for any help at all.

Hi ,

Just a thought, my son did not test allergic for gluten or casein

but when I had his peptides tested (and that is not a common allergy

test)he was extremely high on those results. So just because he isn't

allergic doesn't necessarily mean he can digest the gluten and

casein. Good Luck...
