Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Hi, my name is Kirstin. My husband Bobby and I have 3 children: Grant is 4.5, Caleb is 3, and Libby is 16 months. We are expecting another child in late April. We are suspecting that Caleb falls somewhere on the PDD spectrum. He is most definitely not severe, but also most definitely not " right. " We are waiting for an appointment to get some more evaluations done with him. I have been considering a GFCF diet, but I had some questions for ya'll since he doesn't really fit they " typical " child that I read about in Karyn Seroussi's book. He has delays and autistic behaviors, but his stools are normal, and he does not self-limit his diet at ALL. His stools USED to be on the squishy side. (Sorry to be so gross LOL!!!) They definitely were not loose, just soft. BUT I eliminated citrus from his diet (he drank diluted OJ for breakfast everyday), and his stools are now normal. From what I understood (but I may be wrong...that's why I'm asking :-) ) of Mrs. Seroussi's book, the typical child that this diet would help has bowel problems as well. Or can they have normal bowels and still tend to be sensitive to gluten and casein? Or should I possibly look in other directions, such as supplementing with certain enzymes, vitamins, EFAs, etc.? Love, Kirstin <>< Wife to Bobby (7 years) Momma to Grant (4.5), Caleb (3), Libby (1.25), and " Lil' Bit " (due 4/26/02) I sell books kids love!!!
