[QUOTE="Josie, post: 105660, member: 1792"] My kids and I are girlfriend/CF. My older daughter is very picky. Before we started this diet, she ate pretty much just wheat and cheese. Her favorite foods were macaroni and cheese, mozzarella sticks, grilled cheese, pizza. I wondered what she would eat, too. She is still very picky but she doesn't eat those things any more. Your son would adjust. Some kids actually eat more on this diet because they feel better. In my experience, doctors are not for the girlfriend/CF diet. It just isn't how they were taught to treat patients. It isn't even something they check for, so if it is your child's problem, you will most likely have to discover it for yourself or go to an alternative doctor. It is a very real problem and it could be at least part of the answer for you. The accepted rate for bona fide celiac disease is 1% of the population. 97% of those are undx'ed. Even some celiac doctors think up to 30% or more of the population suffers from gluten intolerance. My kids are not autistic but my older daughter is an entirely different person on the girlfriend/CF diet. She was violent, irritable, and defiant when she ate gluten and casein. I did gluten free only at first and even with that, we could tell she was better off. It soon became clear that milk was a problem also. If you do decide to try it, it is easier to start with just getting rid of gluten or casein, not both. In the beginning, I let them eat whatever they wanted without worrying about nutrition because I wanted to see if it would work and I wanted them to be cooperative. It's easier to be cooperative when you are given Skittles instead of a not very good gluten free cracker and some soy cheese. [/QUOTE]
