[QUOTE="tee2, post: 140776, member: 591"] We initially started my youngest on the gluten-free, casein-free diet, about 3 years ago, due to her stomach issues. She had some bloodwork showing very high antibodies to gluten, but a negative biopsy for celiac. I decided to try removing gluten anyway, and I was shocked myself at the immediate change in her! Within days, her mood changed from chronically irritable to pleasant -- even casual acquaintances could see the change in her. I think the quick change for her was because gluten had been causing pain. She also had almost immediate physical "evidence" (i.e, stool improvements!) that removing gluten was helping her. Anyway, it was good motivation for me to continue, which I did, eventually removing milk also -- and she started to speak where she previously had no language. I have heard of many who start by removing only gluten at first, so if that seems easiest for you, go for it! I think some people actually recommend removing things slowly at first. The one piece of advice I have is that in the long run it will be easier if the whole house is gluten-free, casein-free. We're not in my house -- only my 5yo is -- and there are CONSTANT cross-contamination issues to deal with. If you decide to go fot it, there are many places on the Internet with helpful people who can give you food advice, recipes, etc. One very active group is the Yahoo GFCFKids group. Good luck with everything! [/QUOTE]
