My student has amazing potential and is at/above grade level in many academic areas but functionally, behaviorally, and with communication he REALLY struggles. This has really impacted his performance in the gen ed classroom so I am hoping this diet straightens out his world a bit for him!Allison Officer, M.S.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046065967432355365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933065296656663568.post-92159323296188425642012-07-30T20:13:45.847-07:002012-07-30T20:13:45.847-07:00my son is on the spectrum and was raging before th...my son is on the spectrum and was raging before the diet. we allergy tested him and found he was slightly allergic to milk, wheat and peanuts. it is a hard diet to stick to, but so well worth it. he doesnt rage anymore. i am hoping to reintroduce dairy in the fall in the form of cheese and yogurt after 2 years of being on the diet. there are cookbooks out there that deal with this diet. you can substitute rice, soy, almond or coconut milks for cows milk (unless he has other allergies or restrictions). There are other kinds of flour you can substitute too.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198865194061711110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933065296656663568.post-3270901832004440472012-07-27T13:11:58.679-07:002012-07-27T13:11:58.679-07:00I am gluten intolerant 4th grade teacher and my 3r...I am gluten intolerant 4th grade teacher and my 3rd grade son was just diagnosed with gluten/dairy intolerance. Try celiac.com for some good information. Cross-contamination is an issue when you cook. You will need to be very careful. Also look out for things like Playdoh (wheat-flour), licking envelopes, and there are many more.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372648768194799160noreply@blogger.com
