Gluten free diet

Hi Jane,

I think the GF diet seems far too simplistic and I can only comment on my own experience of it.  When my daughter was diagnosed her behaviour was unmanageable.  She would have regular meltdowns and  become very agressive.  I met with another parent who suggested I try gf diet.  In about three weeks she went from being totoally unmanageable to being really rather pleasant to be with.  I agree that this seems far too simple, and over the years I have tried my daughter on the occasional bit of ngluten to see what happens.  Generally, after about 24 hours she appears to be very highly strung and explosive.

I have no idea why it works but I am simply astounded at the difference it made to our family.  On a practical note, don't bother buying lots of GF food it is far easier (and nicer) to just make meals that naturally do not contain gluten.

Good luck, and do feel free to comment further if you think I can offer any additional help.
