Thank you for the information, my son is allergic to gluten and casein, but it's

really been hard to keep him on the diet. There are three more other children in

the house and he is constantly exposed to gluten and casein. Is there some kind

of med I can give him to keep this under control?

Is he dairy free (casein free)? 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.
