| Hi Drika, I think you are referring to a gluten free casein free diet. I do this with my kids and I believe it to make a big difference. It greatly reduces hyperactivity and increases concentration. My son hand flaps when he has dairy but it goes away when he is on the diet. The gluten seems to effect the kids digestion giving them diarrhoea. It is easier if you are going to attempt this to go dairy free first. Peplace milk with soy milk or rice milk. don't worry about the gluten just yet. Go off the milk gradually , by mixing it with soy or rice milk so he gets used to the taste. The hardest part I found wa that milk is added to so many foods and having to eliminate tose from the diet. If it works you will see a change within a month. I saw a dietician to get advice on how to do this safely. Liz ↑ |
| Hi. onlinedizzy. thanks for the advice, that is the diet i was looking for. do you know of any web sites that can tell me more about this? My son also hand flaps. ↑ |
| Hi drika: I have a website posted with lists of food that are acceptable for our children that are on a Gluten Free Casein Free diet. A long list of foods is given with all of the websites attached; so if the food is not available where you live then you might be able to order it. You can go to: www.northerncaliforniaautism.wetpaint.com I hope that helps. Good luck! ↑ |
