Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 I'm new to the group. We suspect that our three year old son is somewhere on the autism spectrum but we are still awaiting a diagnosis. We live in Canada and there is a huge wait in the health care system. I just found out that our health plan will pay for most of a private diagnosis so we are going that route. In the meantime, I am in the process of putting on a GFCF diet. He has been on the diet for about 2 weeks but we have had some slip ups as a result of this all being so new. Interestingly enough I am recognizing some of the regressions I have been reading about on this message board - chewing his sleeves, night waking, an unbelievable tantrum at the doctor's office today. I would be interested in hearing from other people in Canada about Canadian GFCF products, other alternative therapies I'm hearing about hear, and if it is possible to find a doctor that will support me. I told my GP about the diet today and gave me a look that told me she thought it was pitiful that I was resorting to " alternative therapies " that would not work. This site has been a wealth of info. Thanks to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
