Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hello, My name is Mariya. I am a mom of four – 7-year old twins, 5-year old and a 2-month old. One of the twins has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS around 3 years of age. He used to have meltdowns over everything, had scripted speech with memorized books (word by word) and no original conversation of his own beyond 1-2 word requests. We put him on a GFCF diet, and then re-introduced dairy after 3 months, with no visible impact. Ben has been doing better on GF diet. Less meltdowns, conversation. However, he still struggles with more complex logic (like determining reasons why things happen and forecasting what will happen next), as well as following multi-step directions. Self help skills are not great either, he has trouble getting some concepts. Ben attends special education class, and mainstreaming is not going well due to attention issues. In the last year, he started getting coughing spells with wheezing (asthma-like) and occasional sores/pimples on his behind. Doctors treat it with steroids and antibiotics. Clearly GF diet is not enough, so I want to find a better way. I am half way through GAPS diet book, and my husband and I are set on implementing it. It is a lot to take in with all the restrictions… so I am looking for support, advice, warnings and success stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
