Results of Gluten Free Survey

1. Hoping for mostly muffin-type recipes for oven, bread machine for breads, (every bread I’ve tried gluten free in the regular oven has failed but the bread machine stuff’s been great stirring too long I think). Thank you for everything you do!

2. Lori-Try finding a bread recipe from “Namaste”. They make great gluten free bread mixes. You just bake for an hour and it’s done.

3. Hi Dave and thanks for the great recipe. Our son with autism loves corn so he will like this. I have a daughter with celiac disease who also has a corn intolerance. How many others here have this problem?
   Thanks again, Mary

4. I could not get the link to work so I could join in with the gluten free survey.
   I would be most interested in this and also to see if it improves my sons health.

5. I live in Wales in England. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get my son statemented as his school seem really reluctant or slowto do it. He has been diagnosed with ASD, mild ADHD,Dysraxia,meres irlem(type of dyslexia), Oppositional Behaviour Disorder, Global developmental delay. He was finished being diagnosed August 2008.
   His education is suffering and he is slipping further behind and I don’t think he should be made to suffer.
   Any suggestions welcome.

6. Hi there

   This is fascinating stuff – that gluten free diets can help with aspergers. I have been learning about the condition but also have a gluten free blog that may be of some use to your readers at http://figsandlavender.blogspot.com/ there are recipes, places to eat always with local and seasaonal food in mind (nasties free too!).

   All the best with the blog!

7. It is very important for people with Aspergers to avoid the caseine in A1 dairy products. The casomorphines produced by gluten and A1 caseine are the real villains. An elimination diet works wonders to find other problematic foods such as grains (including corn), soy, eggs, spinach, citrus etc. You usually will not see a great deal of progress if you just remove gluten but retain dairy and other sensitive foods

8. I took my ADHD/Asperger son to a Homeopath who strongly advised me to look into integrating a Gluten-free/Cassein-Free diet for him. He even suggested that we all follow the diet to make life easier for us. I purchased a cookbook and checked things out and came to the conclusion that it is not something we will be able to follow. His favorite foods are pizza, pasta, cheese, eggs and so on and I think the kid would starve to death if I took these away from him! I was told that he would eventually eat what was offered to him and that he wouldn’t starve himself. But, it would not be worth the hell that he would certainly put us through to even attempt the diet. I guess if it were a life or death situation I would bite the bullet but I am not willing to live in misery at this point in time. It is too bad that it has to be an all or none situation and that we can’t just modify “a little bit” here and there. To see results it has to be followed totally to a “T”.

11. Lisa and Christi…I have the same problem you both do! My 11 year old son is 50 inches tall and weighs only 52 pounds as it is! If I changed to a gluten free/dairy free diet he would fade away to nothing. He will only eat about 12 different things and most are dairy or pasta. He refuses to try anything new. I wish there was another option for us!

12. dear lisa, posting no.5. This diet is a huge undertaking for any family, let alone a family with a child who will have greater diffs than usual adopting to change and it isn’t something that works for everyone. For what it’s worth, we tried it for 6 months with my daughter who has aspergers and we saw no difference. In fact, she said it made her feel ‘different’ from her friends because she couldn’t eat what others were eating at birthday parties, school etc. Think you made right choice for yourselves for now. Good Luck.
