lots of questions

[Guest guest]

1.think of it like very strong cravings. Did you ever crave somthing in the

middle of the night when pregnant? I think their cravings for gluten and casein

are even stronger than those. Addicts will go to any length to get a fix-an

example would be my son licking the fridge for traces of leftover forbidden

food. Or if they start eating nonfood items looking for the same feeling they

get when eating gluten or casein.

2. This question comes up alot-but the general opinion is indefinatly-or untill

the gut heals-but no one is sure when that happens exactly. I dont have a DAN

doctor right now-because I cant afford one. I reasearch,study and tr things out

on my own.But if you can afford it a good DAN doctor could be a great asset. The

basic gfcf diet Is nutritionally sound. Fruit ,veggies, meat, beans. The biggest

thing your are changing is the grain you use. quinoa is far superior to wheat in

nutritional value followed by millet-both gfcf grains. You may run low in

EFA,or B vitimins so we suppplement with a good multi every day to be sure. and

of course calicium/mag suplementation because of no dairy products.

www.gfcfdiet.com also has a link to a dietician -she has answered questions

promptly for me via email in the past.

3. For us once the gluten and casein had cleared out of his system-reactions

were obvious.He lost receptive lanaguage-and would tantrum almost all day-in

addition to not sleeping for about three days following an accedent in diet.

This for us includes nonfood exposure to gluten-but in out case handeling casein

has not affected him{although eating it would.}
