Gluten and casein free diet

I'm wondering what you all think to gfcf diet?  Has anyone tried this?  My nearly 3 yr old was recently diagnosed and I have started him on the gluten free part of the diet (2 months in now) and both my husband and I feel we have seen some mild improvements, seems to be "more there" for us.  However, I'm really concerned about starting the casein free part of it, as denying milk to a child his age seems a big wrong.  I know they can get these nutrients from other foods but I'm worried that I might miss something he should be having.  Is it really ok to do this diet for a child his age.?
