Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Hi, I have been doing the gluten free diet with my son for about 9 months. We have only seen small gains in his development over this time period. After a discussion with our dr. we decided to challenge the diet by re-introducing gluten foods. We fed him a few gluten items over a couple of days, but noted that he had a significant change in his behaviour. He was easily frustrated, screaming and hitting, both people and things something he doesn't usually do. We decided to put him back on the diet right away, but have still seen the frustration in him on occassion (a few times a week). He has also started to push our dog around, something he would never do before, infact, because of sensory issues, he hardly ever touched her!! Could we have caused a problem by reintroducing the gluten? Could he perhaps have developed a sensitivity to another food, or is this just plainly a developmental stage?? Has any one else experienced anything similar? Thanks for any input, Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
