Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Best to change the whole household over to GFCF. That's what we did. We have secret " grown-up food " that we have after the kids go to bed, but that's it. There are great rice breads and pasta at Trader Joes. Rice and Soy milk at Costco. Rice and Soy ice creams. etc..... The other less effective alternative is digestive enzymes. They need to eat them with their meals.

I thought I had seasonal allergies for the longest time - that would lead to a sinus infection/cold and when we took my son off dairy, wheat, soy, and chocolate, I stopped eating most the foods too and my allergies mysteriously disappeared. They come back every time I eat a dairy product or chocolate. I now take a lactase supplement before eating any dairy and it helps. Wheat doesn't cause a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing for me, but it does cause brain fog. Soy and chocolate (legumes) cause bloating and gastrointestinal upset in us. One thing I learned recently is that there is glutamate in all the common allergens and that kids with autism are usually sensitive to glutamate (and MSG containing foods). We had quite a bit of improvement after removing all sources of MSG from my son's diet and limiting glutamate sources through rotation diets. > > I have another quick question, my autistic son has been dragging a cold > for a very long time now.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thank you, I think I will have to change the family to gfcf. Karl is also allergic to soy, and we have a hard time finding bread here (canada). BTW, do you know of any cf - soy free yogurt?
