[quote=Anonymous]The test for gluten sensitivity looks for IgE to gluten, but I have read that it is not definitive and the best test an elimination trial.  My ASD child did test positive and we embarked on a GFCF diet that has resulted in enormous positive changes.  We didn't inform DC's teachers and they asked what we had done because DC was so different and so much better now (more language, more engaged, better motor skills, less hyper).  I don't know if every child responds as well as my own, who is well on the way to recovery, but my DC always had obvious gut issues.  It is more expensive to go GFCF and it was a hassle to adjust, especially in the beginning, but testing and consults were covered by insurance so I don't think it's true that the MD took advantage of us.  If you go the the autism research institute's website you will see results of polling of parents that shows that GFCF was one of the interventions that made the biggest difference in their kids. I wish you the best![/quote]
