[QUOTE="Josie, post: 148774, member: 1792"] My daughter, now 12, has been on the gluten free and casein free diet for 2 years now. As long as she is on that diet, she is a easy child. Her diagnosis was ODD and depression. The ODD was the main problem and the depression was just what we thought might be causing the ODD. It turns out it was her diet. She was taking 20 mg of Lexapro and still violent and defiant. We were thinking we would have to add Seroquel. Before we did that, we tried the diet and now she is on no medications and not even going to therapy any more. For us, the gluten free and casein free diet is a miracle. I will warn you that the slightest error, like eating something that says it may contain traces of wheat, will bring back the old problems. So if you try it, it is important to eliminate every bit of it before deciding it won't work. My symptoms last for 2 weeks if I make a mistake. I would start with just the gluten free diet and then see if you need to do milk, too. My daughter was much improved just from eliminating gluten but we saw that milk was a problem, too. She is irritable and defiant when she has gluten and mean and aggressive when she has milk. Good luck if you try it. [/QUOTE]
