I Knew He Needed To Eat Gluten Free! But Not Celiacs

[I hate gluten]

I have been at this forum since January ish of this year. You all have helped me tons more than any doctor my son has ever seen. We started our son on a gluten free diet and he has thrived more than anyone can imagine. To our shock we found out this week our son has a form of autism. To any sceptics that do not beleive that the gluten free diet can help, we are living proof it does. I have joined many support groups and you would not beleive the resistence of switching their child diet. People would rather have their child on drugs! They think it will be to hard to keep them on this diet. This train of thought is very shocking to me, but to each his own. As of right now my son does not need any meds and will take every route I can to keep it that way. This diet is hard but nothing in life is easy. Thank to all who have been on this journey to find answers for my son.

Welcome to the Forum! I think you son is so lucky to have such a caring parent. I also see many people say they would never do the diet because it is too hard for them. I don't have much respect for them. It's your child and they only have so many chances for good health. The diet is tricky in the beginning but it get's easier as time goes on. Soon it will be second nature for you.

That is great for your son! I am glad the diet is working!

That is great news! Thanks for sharing.

We have family and friends that are sad for me that the only treatment for celiac is diet....I'm constantly telling them...NO...this is good news. All I have to do is change my diet...no drugs, no surgery and I'll get healthy just from adjusting our food.

This is GREAT NEWS!
