[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 333492, member: 1169"] Yes! I would 100% recommend trying it. The difference in my children was amazing. We started slowly by adding in gluten-free, casein-free foods (changing to rice pasta, then to soy milk, etc.) It took about six months to figure out which gluten-free, casein-free products the kids would eat. Then we eliminated dairy (caesin) 100% for a month and then dyes/preservatives/high fructose corn syrup/etc the next month and then by month #3 we eliminated gluten and we ate gluten-free, casein-free/All Natural for 6 months. Then we challenged each food type. We found that even a small amount of gluten is very bad, that we can use butter and sour cream in our cooking but a glass of milk or milk-based ice cream is too much, any high fructose corn syrup causes a problem but an occasionally artificial ingredient is okay. I have found that cooking from scratch is the least expensive way to stay on the diet and the food tastes better too. Be very careful going to restaurants that say they are gluten free. Ask them how they protect against cross contamination. We have found the steak places (Outback, Texas Roadhouse) to be the best. There is also a restaurant called Noodles & Co that will cook with rice noodles and put an allergy alert on your order. Pizza places are the worst (they advertise gluten free crusts but make the pizza on the wheat covered counters - ugh). We do have one pizza place near us that has a separate girlfriend station and even a girlfriend oven. [/QUOTE]
