My 3.5 YO daughter has a diagnosis of PDD/NOS.  She has been on a
gluten/casein free diet for approximately 11 months.  She has shown great
progress since beginning this diet.(ie:  more alert, more verbal, less
irritable)  The FAQ for this list mentions diseases related to celiac
disease.  My grandmother has celiac sprue and I have Graves disease.  Are
there any other parents out there who have children with similar diagnoses?
If so, I have a few questions:  Is this a diet for Life? Are you able to
get away with "cheating" on the diet?  How are your children doing in
school?(special placement, inclusion,etc.)  I would appreciate hearing
from you------our doctors think I'm crazy for attributing part of her
progress to her diet.  Thanks!!!!!!!!Stacye
