[QUOTE="Josie, post: 213650, member: 1792"] I have tested my kids and myself for gluten/casein intolerances at [URL="http://www.enterolab.com"]www.enterolab.com[/URL]. I did this on my own after reading about it on a celiac forum. One of my children had stomach problems which went away after giving up gluten and casein. The other child had mood issues (diagnosis'ed with ODD and depression) that disappear when she is compliant on her diet. She is almost 13 and is prone to cheating so I am seeing the mood issues return, but it does work when she sticks with it. With a possible diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/high functioning autism, I would think the girlfriend/CF diet might be helpful for your child. I also tested my younger child for food allergies with ALCAT. I was able to do this without a doctor, also. I haven't done too much with the results so I can't say how effective it would be. It gave me lists of foods and how allergic she was to each. I was supposed to eliminate the most allergic for 6 months and then reintroduce. My problem was that she is already pretty restricted in what she eats (she is a vegetarian as well as girlfriend/CF) and there wasn't much left for her to eat. Most of the foods she was most allergic to, she already didn't eat. I then took her to an environmental physician who was helpful. He tested her for allergies in a nontraditional way and was going to treat her. Unfortunately, we found out in his testing that she has Lyme Disease and he wouldn't treat her after that. I have found the most help for my children's mental issues outside of conventional medicine, though. I think you have to have an open mind and be willing to spend money on treatments that might not work before finding the answer though. [/QUOTE]
