gfcf diet

 I am not the right person to answer this as I don't give any supplement except probiotic(which is the good bacteria present in yogurt) and Vit D. We did the lab work and found that my son was deficient in B12 and D vitamin, We give Vit D but don't give Vit B12 as he is not able to tolerate them. As per the lab work he didn't need any extra calcium probably he is getting from some food. We do the lab work whenever we see stimming, other behaviour issues and give him Nyastatin/diflucan for Yeast issues if required.

Each kids issues are different and different supplement work for them.

But many have had success with speech with B12 shots, Omega3.  Mutivitamin is also good if the kid can tolerate.

You can check with a doctor and see if your kid needs and you can add accordingly. 

thanks lita for guidance. i have an appointment with Dr. Deepak Gupta (child Phycologist) on 10th oct'12.

We will add supplements based on his advice.

 @raj-- it is good that u are going to a DAN practitioner (dr deepak gupta), it is always better to go for treatment under a doctor's guidance and not do everything at your own, as all kind of supplements etc have both effects and side effects also a protocol has to b followed,

 and u hv someone to whom you can back up and ask querries, though his appointments are short but he remains in touch with his patients all the time.

best wishes to u

thanks rh. Can u share experience with Doctor Deepak Gupta. I have also gone through some programms on internet like Son-rise, Teachh, RDI etc.

Is some one have an experience about these programms especially I found Son-rise program techniques quite good as shown in Video on their site.

Hello Lita,

As per my doctor we need to avoid all sour foods sometimes very rarely tamarind can be used. I really dont know whether  it helps with reflux or any other things.

Hi everybody,

my son is on gfcf diet from the past 2 and half years and believe me the progress is awesome. he goes to a normal school and doing very well. we got his assessments done and he is out of the spectrum but we need to follow the diet till 14 age.

At first gfcf cooking was very hectic speacially with no options around but steadily got into the groove and trust me it's not so cumbersome.Any parent who are following gfcf diet pls do eliminate corn n soy too from the diet ans yes no cheat days for sure u will see ur kids improving day by day

cheers
