1 month later he has eye contact,speaks great and tells jokes.What a difference he wants to try new food!!!!!

Answer 1

The thing that is extremely important here is to keep an opened mind, which you seem to be doing very well. All too often, merely asking ones doctor can lead to a dead end. Several things to which our family can personally relate are: family history of allergies, strange behavior apparently associated with certain foods, and that you saw a mild improvement when your son was on a gluten/casein free diet. My son also has autism. It was not diagnosed until he was 10 yrs old......after a continuing nightmare of labels, "treatments"and proposed (threatened) "treatments" which didn't make any sense. One day I read some obscure reference to clusters of misdiagnosed "schizophrenia" in areas of western Ireland where many people had an allergy to wheat. We experimented with removing wheat from my son's diet and his behavior seemed to improve....just a bit. We got him tested for food allergies, and found that he was allergic to" wheat" (gluten), egg whites, "legumes" (peanuts, soy...), and "dairy products" (casein) We removed the offending foods from his diet . I figured this was noninvasive and difinately worth a try. The results were nothing less than amazing! We were very, very careful, read labels, did research. Of course it was difficult,... but when I look at the alternative, and look at look at the payoff, it was definitely worth the effort. Recently, I read in Answers about someone who tried GF/CF diet and it made things worse...Later, it occurred to me that if we had replaced wheat and milk with with soy products, my son probably would be worse. . Your son is very fortunate to have parents who don't give up...

Answer 6

I have worked with children w/ autism who have been recommended similar diet plans ie no wheat/dairy. I am curious who/why recommended Threelac to you. It sounds as though you have had incredible results!! Blessings to you and your family!~ Also to answer your question I personally believe that there is a lot more to autism medically/behaviourally/nutritionally than is perhaps acknowledged at this time. Congrats to you and your doctor for looking for answers "outside of the box"!!

yes yes yes...i have 2 pdd hf sons, one in remission....one is celiac and is improving without wheat...i had undiagnosed celic d/h rash 15 yrs ago and tested pos. this year (just figured this out too) removed gluten, then casein - previous to this had been on anti-biotics most of my teenage years, was a selective mute then, and have immune problems now and anemia, yeast has died off mostly with candex.. but removing gluten really helped the fatigue - check out the yahoo group enzymes and autism you will find many many answers there good luck.

Answer 10

yes!! Please be careful of his booster shots and the flu shot. Have you tried hyperbarics to kill yeast and bacteria? Most mainstream doctors won't be able to help. Have you looked for a DAN doctor in your area? You can visit Autism Research Institute on the web.
