WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS A SETBACK?

Someone who contacted gfcfadmin wanted to know what could be done for a child who had mistakenly ingested gluten/casein while on a gluten-free casein-free diet.  The child in question had been gfcf for over a year and was making tremendous progress in all social, academic and motor skill areas, and his digestive system had been healing nicely.  Suddenly one meal of gluten/casein, and they saw the diarrhoea come back, all focus on schoolwork was lost, the child was acting giggly and was unable to sit in a chair, stimming increased to pre-diet levels overnight. The teachers could only describe it as a “drunk” reaction, which is exactly what gluten/casein does to some autistic brains - has an opiate or alcoholic effect.  The child had to be removed from his regular classroom setting to a special day class, upsetting to both child and parents.  Well there is something that can immediately be done without resorting to chemical intervention.  According to a Board Certified Pediatrician and Specialist in Medical and Environmental  Aspects of Autism, there are enzymes available that help to “absorb” and neutralize the contaminants.  One enzyme in particular covers a whole panacea of carb allergic reactions, and it’s name is…wait for it and get your pencils…EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV. This enzyme is available to order from many websites direct to your door, often within 1 day.  Its effect can be immediate too, but usually there is a positive result within 48-72 hours depending on the amount of gluten/casein in the system.  When all else has failed, and every specialist in your child’s life is at a loss for what to do, don’t think chemicals.  There is more and more research on the Bio-Medical intervention that can help support children through these difficult patches.  If this is something that has happened to you, check it out!
