Comments on: My thoughts on “Food Allergies Overestimated” http://ourgffamily.com/2010/05/my-thoughts-on-food-allergies.html/ My WordPress Blog Wed, 16 Sep 2015 12:01:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: My Doodle's Dairy Free http://ourgffamily.com/2010/05/my-thoughts-on-food-allergies.html/#comment-694 Sat, 22 May 2010 15:30:51 +0000 http://205.134.241.29/~ourgff5/?p=578#comment-694 Thanks for the great post! I am from a small town and getting my doctors here to comprehend that food affects my daughter and manifests itself as autism is beyond comprehension to them. Just yesterday I asked for a doctors note so my daughter could have a gluten free/dairy free lunch at school and she was reluctant to give it to me, as she had "no medical reason" to issue such a claim. Yet, since being on the diet, my daughter's autism symptoms have completely disappeared. I ask – how is that not medically necessary? I feel so much frustration that the medical establishment can link diet as cause of so many disorders, but absolutely refuses to consider the impact of diet on autism.

Thank you for continually educating me and giving me the courage to fight ignorance in my small little town in MN.

Very very true. Sadly I also say my son is allergic to "x" amount of foods…when really he only has 2 true "allergies" which is why we have an Epi-pen. Soy and Corn cause sever hives within minutes of eating and then he swells up like a balloon. However he is VERY sensative to over 40 more things, some more severe than others. But all the same we took the foods out and he got better…so great post!

It's very disheartening at a minimum and extremely harmful, leading people and/or their doctors to possibly not take their conditions seriously. It's something that those of us with gluten issues fight all the time. Oh, and excellent point on the dairy issue not being helped by being dairy free until your child was gluten free also. When the gut is compromised still, one can't heal until all the offending foods are taken out of the diet.
