I was going to respond to Karyn regarding her post, but I thought that there
are more on this list that could help me.  If anyone is interested in the
results I will summarize and repost the info I get.
 
Hi, very interested in your post.  Maybe you could help me with a problem I
have.  I have two sons, the younger is celiac and probably ADHD (he's only
3.5), he follows a strict GF diet.  The older one (6) is ADHD and has a mild
language processing disorder (LPD), also bowel problems, mostly chronic
constipation.  He has been blood tested for celiac disease and the doctor
said not a candidate for biopsy, ie negative results.  Now my question, is
autism related to ADHD, as one counsellor thought the older may have "slight
autism" as he loves to make noises, whether they be repetative or not, loud
or soft, whatever.
 
How does a person go about getting a husband to conform to trying a GF/CF
diet for the boys. Don Wiss, on this list said it may be helpful to try the
boys on this diet.  I had a hard time convincing my husband that the older
boy was "different" and we should get him checked, it was always "he's just
a boy".  Finally when he was diagnosed with the LPD he had a hard time
believing this, then when the ADHD was diagnosed, WOW.  When I recommended
trying the diet for a few months, it was like I asked him to try it.  He had
all kinds of excuses like, the restrictions, etc.  Now I know some of the
restrictions due to following the GF diet for myself and son, but I know
nothing about how restrictive the CF diet is.  Is there a list like this
that I can get the info?
 
Any "ammunition" you could throw my way would be extremely helpful.
 
Thanx in advance for all advice.
