Hello! I'm curious if anyone is currently using a gluten-free diet for their child? And if so, have you seen improvements in behavior etc? Thank you!! Kelly
@A MyAutismTeam Member Hi, wanted to encourage you to keep baking those Gluten free recipes. We use one on the back of Bob's Red Mill company bag. It is delicious. The zucc bread holds up well, over time because it is so moist. I also added mini choc chips to it, and it became a dessert ! Yummo ! Most GF bread recipes need to be used immediately, or frozen. The breads are also good heated up, or toasted. Keep practicing, and the Bob's products are perfected and ready to bake with after adding the wet ingredients.
@A MyAutismTeam Member that's amazing! I hope the diet continues to work for him. Thank you for all the information, I really appreciate it!
Thanks, @A MyAutismTeam Member! I'll keep at it! 😘
Wow! Thank you both for the feedback! It sounds like it is worth looking into. @A MyAutismTeam Member, did you substitute anything for his milk? Soy or rice milk? And @A MyAutismTeam Member, is there a certain cookbook or a website that you like for a gluten-free recipes? I tried to make a gluten-free zucchini bread tonight and it was horribly unsuccessful! But I'm game for trying anything! Thanks again.
Hi Kelly, Yes. We started Jacob (6y) on the GFCF diet in February2016. He adjusted to it well. We did see improvements as far as his ability to focus and his stimming. He still needs help/instruction with those things but we think it helped. However, he had 2 regular pieces of pizza and cake on Sunday and so far he has been acting fine. so, we may reevaluate that. Sorry if that was confusing for you! I guess my advice would be that it's worth a try. Every child is different! Good Luck and Hugs!
