Gluten free diet

north london mum

hi everyone haven't been on here for a while hope everyone is well wanted some advise I've been given a lot of advise recently about gluten free diet for my son who's 3 he has high functioning autism and is non verble a lot of people swear by it I know it's not been proved but I also have reservations about changing things for my boy as I know that changes in ceartain things can lead to massive meltdown or him refusing food I know I can only try to see if this helps i also know that gluten free foods are expensive now money is no object when it comes to my sons needs as it is with all of our kids but I would really appreciate anyone's advise or if you personally have tried it and have noticed a difference or not thanks

  • Yes it is a blood test, but it really does not hurt! My view is that it is best to get kids used to doctors and dentists as young as possible, as when they are old enough to know what is going on they are also old enough to build the event up into something worse than it is. I don't have kids though Wink 

    It is possible to have intolerances to other parts of the grain than gluten however, and you may find that if you replace these foods with nutritious alternatives, his appetite may improve. 

    This must be very daunting though, so I suggest contacting a dietician (via GP) or nutritional therapist for further advice.
