My children react badly to fruits, so you can consider that your

children are reacting to the fruits and that is why they want the

juice. Or they may have yeast issues and crave the sugars from the

juices. But work on gfcf first, then you can look into other food

issues.

I did not notice much if anything from removal of milk, but just a

small almost imperceptible difference that made me go for the gluten

removal also. My children are much more gluten intolerant.

I would eliminate wheat too,

Doing things one at a time is always recommended, otherwise you can't

figure out which things are good and which things do nothing or make

things worse. Also, if you want to do a celiac test, your children

have to be eating gluten at the time of the test, so best to do it

before removing it.

What kinds of positive things have any of

you noticed by just eliminating milk?

My son spoke his first new words within three days of eliminating milk. His

bowel problems clerared up, his hyperactivity was much improved,and he could

look me in the eye and focus on what was around him-I noticed he wasnt spinning

himself in circles near as much . I got such wonderfull results, we eliminated

wheat about two weeks later. When I started the diet I had the mind set just to

do milk-and thought to myself maybe I wont ever have to do gluten{It scared me

to death} but seeing what a difference it made-I jumped right in to removeing

gluten and he has made steady but slower gains ever since. When we started he

was functioning at a nine to twelve month old level in all areas and now a year

later he is functioning at a two yr old level-he is three but I have hopes he

will catch up to his peers in time. My son still has autism and always will be

different but he is happy now and is able to learn and speak and I have come to

a place where I can celebrate his differences because they are part of him and

make him special. Good luck and welcome.f
