[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Hi everyone.  Thanks for your replies.  Yes, you guys are right that I am very confused.  I should have been more clear.  The doctor (who is just our mainstream pediatrician but who specializes in this stuff) did say he isn't truly allergic to these things, but he has food sensitivities to them.  As far as the sugar thing goes, the  PP poster who said "...the problem with sugar likely relates more to the child's yeast dysbiosis. Sugars feed yeast and the yeast in turn produce lots of nasty toxins that get into the blood stream in ASD kids who have leaky gut." is exactly right.  That is basically how the doc explained it to us.  So I guess he is not truly allergic to sugar (which would probably be impossible) but she said he needs to avoid it like the plague.

My DS's diet right now is awful.  He has sensory/texture issues so he only eats 4-5 things, none of which are all that healthy.  He will eat chocolate chip pancakes (drenched in syrup), cinnamon toast (made out of white bread), cheese pizza, and chicken nuggets.  He'll eat snacks too that are all crap (cookies, chips, etc.) but I don't buy them that often.  Oh, and ice cream.  I really don't know how we are going to make such drastic changes.  He's going to be AWFUL as he's getting used to this new diet.[/quote]
