I agree! Thank You!
]]>The more I read these comments, the more the American Academy of Pediatrics should be aware and start getting some hard research done on this! So happy for you Valerie!
]]>SOOOOO Happy to hear I am not the only one and others have seen these vast improvements also! To say the least we have such a great life with our son now, we continue to see continued cognitive improvement in our smart beautiful boy. The diet is not always easy, but man is it not worth it to have a slip up! Good luck to all the parents who have found improvement with a gluten free diet…Now we just have to get the word out to all those families suffering!!
Happy Holidays and thanks for the feedback!

]]>Well, you certainly did the ultimate test! Too bad about the result but at least you know what to do about it!
]]>Dena, we’ve had a very similar experience. Our 4yo was very hard to handle. He was also diagnosed with SPD. At the same time that he started his SPD diet (exercise program developed specifically for him), we also removed gluten from his diet. He transformed almost over night. For two months he was absolutely great. We recently re-introduced gluten to his diet to see if it was the Sensory diet or the removal of gluten that caused the dramatic results (we were afraid to remove either because he was doing so well). After adding gluten for 2 days his behavior reverted. It was like day and night. We recently removed gluten and it took 5 days for him to ‘recover’. We’re now into day 8 of a new ‘gluten-free’ diet and he’s our little boy again. My wife and I are always looking for others that are in our position, so please don’t hesitate if you have questions/comments/or discover something that helps your child – we’d love to hear.
]]>Glad you found the problem, Sarah. That’s the problem with specialists, they’re too specialized, as in you didn’t take your son to a GF specialist LOL!
