    Here is a very good article on magnesium I found from the NIH: Open Original Shared Link It states that too much magnesium can have the same effects than a magnesium deficiency, which is interesting. Anyhow, I see now that my daughter has been on a way too high dose, because our pediatrician told us that we could give her the 4-year old dose of the supplement...

    Thank you for posting this. They do not list what form of magnesium it is, but I will contact them.

    Thank you so much for your response. I will research the GAPS diet more. I see that it is based on the SCD which I am familiar with. The trace minerals are a great idea as well.

    Thank you so much for sharing this! This is great information. The supplement we used to give her (called Calm for Kids) is magnesium citrate. No surprise we have the loose painful stools. I picked up another calcium/magnesium chewable which is magnesium oxide and apparently useless. So, I need to look for magnesium lactate. My daughter is definitely low...

    I appreciate your response and good point about the "free glutamate". I am very familiar with it, since I am also highly sensitive to "free glutamate". I am definitely avoiding all of the "contains free glutamate" ingredients, but have gotten a bit more relaxed about the "may contain free glutamate" ingredients. It is extremely hard to be glutenfree and also...

    I have a 3-year old daughter who has been glutenfree for over 1 year now. Celiac was suspected as an underlying condition for chronic constipation followed by recurring c.diff infections for over 9 months. The Celiac gene is also present. Blood work was negative, she is however igA deficient. Her situation improved significantly on a glutenfree diet,...

    My 2.5 year old girl has recently been very emotional, which is the same behaviour we always see when she gets gluten. She also gets dark rings under her eyes. I am positive that she did not get any gluten from food, but she has been playing with play dough a lot over the last few days. I thought we were very careful that she does not ingest any, so I was...

    I was wondering if anyone knows whether Celiac children are more likley to have stronger reactions to the MMR vaccine or any other live virus vaccine? Thank you. Evelyn

    Oops...I am seeing that some of the links did not come across. The recipe website is glutenfreegoddess.com. She has links to for the breadmachine and the bread mix as well.

    This is an awesome site for gluten-free recipes. This person is amazing in creating new recipes all the time. Here is a bread take she claims to be her all-time favorite. The secret ingredient is sorghum flour. Open Original Shared Link It would be worth getting a bread machines as well. This site recommends this one as it has a gluten-free cycle. ...

    I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone for their responses. My friend has decided to try a gluten-free diet with her son. All of these responses really helped in making that decision. Now I have to try to convince my mom as well. She has severe rheumatoid arthritis. I am sure I got the Celiac gene from her and I think that she could benefit...

    Wow, thank you for sharing that. Did you also eliminate dairy?

    My 2-year old daughter is gluten and dairy free. When I tried dairy with her in the past, I noticed also that she had issues with sleeping at night. Could the rash be exzema? A friend of mine had big issues with exzema in her kids and was able to resolve it on dairy free diet. I give my girl a mix of rice milk and coconut milk. The probiotics are extremely...

    My 2-year old daughter and I both need to eat a gluten and dairy free diet and my daughter has also a severe nut allergy. We will soon need to take a trip to Germany to visit grandparents. It is usually a 20-24h trip door-to-door. I am so afraid of this trip since I have no idea how I am going to take the few fresh foods my picky eater likes to eat with me...

    The Paleo diet seems to be similar to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), which is interesting. SCD is supposed to cure things like Chrons, Celiac, Autism. The theory behind SCD is that you basically starve the pathogen that is responsible for triggering the disease.

    We have an extremely picky eater here as well. My daughter is 2 years old now and weighs 22 pounds (3%). We have been gluten-free for over 4 months now and I can see that as the gut is healing, she is opening up to more foods. My husband and I have also backed off a lot, because the more you try to push it, the more he will refuse it. There is a great book...

    Thank you everyone so much for the responses. This is so helpful!! I was wondering if you also eliminated dairy? Did everyone see an immediate change after going gluten-free? Thank you again. Evelyn

    I had severe problems with acid reflux. I know exactly what you are talking about. It was at times so bad that I went to the doctor thinking I had Strep throat. Glutenfree alone did not do it, I had to give up all dairy (big issue) and all food additives that are "MSG" related or "Free Glutamate". Here is a list of ingredients to watch out for: Open Original...

    A friend of mine has a 4 year old son who developed juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at 1 year old. The typical drugs used for this condition do not work for this child. There was one drug that worked, but it recently stopped working and the child is struggling with severe arthritis pain that is very disabling. It is such a heartbreaking story. I was wondering...

    my daughter loves these puffs. Very healthy and tasty! Open Original Shared Link

    A good friend of mine has 2 kids with excema and they also had very frequent ear infections. It all resolved within weeks of going dairy free and gluten free.

    According to our GI, you should see emotional improvements very quickly (within a few weeks). It should be an easy try. We saw immediate emotional improvements within 2 weeks and the emotions came back quickly when we tried to put her back on gluten for a biopsy. We then decided to back off and just stay glutenfree and postpone the test.

    Did you consider going dairy free as well? I just know a lot of cases where the dairy is also a big issue.

    check out this cake, looks really good, but is not brown. You could try to contact this person on this website. Open Original Shared Link

    I think that gluten-free alone is not sufficient for some kids with autism. I know of success stories with gluten-free and dairy/casein-free diet.
