Gluten and Dairy problems showing apraxic symptoms???

[Guest guest]

My son was diagnosed with apraxia a couple of months before turning 3. He just

turned 5, and will be entering a transistional kindergarden in the fall. So far

we have not seen anything other then a severe speech delay. But, lately I am

starting to notice some suble things that is starting to perk my attention. I

have him on fish oil, and the improvement was noticable, but he is still very

behind.

I was at his IEP about 3 wks ago. They gave me an article one of them had

seen. It was a small study done at oakland childrens on apraxia. They took 26

children and gave them a full panal blood test, and found that most had specific

vitamin deficenties, and most shared the cealic desease gene.

Tonight I met a parent of a child who had been diagnosed with sensory

processing disorder. She heard most children with nerological disorders have

trouble with gluten. She said she tried it, and took her child off all gluten

and dairy, as well. She said she started on monday and he was a completely

different child by friday.

When I was telling my mother about this, she's lactose intolerent, she told me

her doc told her gluten and dairy intolerence runs hand in hand. My son's fav

food is cheese. Life would not be the same without it. :-)

Does anyone have any information about gluten and apraxia? And why is gluten

and dairy linked?

Thank you!!!
