Guest guest Posted November 17, 2001 Report Share Posted November 17, 2001 Hi A couple of weeks ago, DH and I decided to do a gluten challenge with DD. Well, so far, I'm delighted to say that we've seen only positive results. DD seems to be generally happier, she has no sleep problems, eye contact, if anything, is up, she's much more affectionate and doing a little better overall in her ABA program. We're now more or less unrestricted on gluten, and about to challenge the casein. Wish us luck! Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also mouthing and tapping things against her mouth and teeth far less and seems to be having fewer emotional outbursts.
