Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 My name is Sue and I have a 7yr old Gage who is Asperger's and ADHD. We have been on the GFCF diet along with no soy, additives, preservatives or food coloring. I have an online friend who has really been helping me on this journey and she linked me to this group to further educate myself. I am waiting on a call back from Sage Labs to find a Dr. in PA who can order the necessary tests to find out what his issues are. I can tell you that it has been amazing to see the dramatic changes in just 2 weeks. The eye contact alone!! He seems so happy, contented and just 2 meltdowns since we started. Gage is on Risperdol Focalin and Melatonin. He can't swallow pills but hopefully all the supplements I have been reading about either come in liquid or capsule that can be mixed with applesauce or chewable. I am really hoping that once we get started that he can be weaned off of the prescription meds. What really got me interested in biomeds was the fact that his psychiatrist wanted to start him on Trazadone and Zoloft. That just wasn't an option for me so I have been learning and researching and this seems the right road for us to be on. I look forward to learning from everyone here and any advice that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Sue - you have landed at the right place. This group is an amazing wealth of information and you are already on your way to recovery for your son. Just throw away the prescriptions as he doesnt need them. It is good you have started GFCF, along with that make sure you are using organic products. Stay away from artificial preservatives and dyes. Cut down on sugar and other junk food. Look for a DAN doctor near where you live who can order the tests foryou and can also start your son on supplements.
