re already eating mostly gluten free unless all you eat is bread and pasta. And pasta is readily available made out of gluten-free grains, unlike bread, which is quite different gluten-free. In other words, using brown rice is still using brown rice. Spices still taste the same. You're just switching grains, not everything.
many people have tried going gluten free in hopes that it will help with thyroid. There is little evidence that it helps with thyroid specifically.
However many people report feeling better in general. So regardless of whether or not it helped specifically with thyroid, if they felt better then it was worth it.
From what I've been reading, it takes at LEAST 6 months of gluten free as a minimum before you may start to see the benefits if any.
re not absorbing certain nutrients, hence the low weight, migraines, etc. If you have a gluten problem, for example, the gluten free diet might help you put on weight because you'll be absorbing the nutrients from your food better. Magnesium is one of several minerals you would be missing out on in this condition - low magnesium can be the cause of migraines. Or maybe the gluten problem is causing blood sugar fluctuations, also leading to migraines.
I'm curious as to whether or not the casein and gluten-free diet is one that needs to be adhered to for the entirety of a person's life who has autism and has found it to help? What happens if my son's autism improves because of this diet but he goes back to consuming casein and gluten some day? Will his autistic symptoms reappear or have they been cured?
My doctor has told me I need to move to a gluten-free diet....yikes!!! All my life (and that is a very long time--ha ha) I have generally eaten whatever I wanted to eat. This change to a GF diet seems like such a huge mountain to climb. I know there are many others who have had to change to a GF diet after a lifetime of eating what they wanted with little or no restrictions. How does a person even get started on a change like this? What do you do when you go out to eat at a restaurant?
This drug is used to treat epilepsy in both children and adults. In many cases it can also be used as an antidepressant. In children it is also indicated for treatment of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (a disorder that causes seizures and developmental delay). It is also Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for, and now most frequently prescribed for, the prevention of migraines.
Before changing any child's diet, you really need to consult their pediatrician. This diet thing would probably work for kids who have allergies to wheat and milk. So, get your child allergy tested. I have read that this diet works for some autistic kids, but they have allergies to this stuff. If your child doesn't have allergies to this stuff, you are removing important nutrition from his diet!!! That's what our pediatrician told us.
But it is a lot better than falling over. I switched to Trokendi which is exended release Topiramate and I was exhasted for two two weeks they didn't have the same dose as topiramate. So for example I was taking 100mg a day of Topiramate (1 pill 25mg in morning and 2 25mg pills at night). But with Trokendi I took 100mg (because they don' have a 75mg pill) at night and I was wiped out. So they do have a 25mg pill and I take 3 of those at night. then I was ok.
So, for now the best people like me can do is stay far away from gluten. And, actually, the video is saying to stay away from all grain to be truly gluten free. Rice is the safest of all grains, but it does still contain a small portion of the gluten specific to rice. All grains have gluten. The name of the gluten in wheat is gliadin, which of course is the main source of the problem for people, since wheat is so pervasive and in things you don't expect it to be.
By contrast, IgG anti-gliadin antibodies need a long time, sometimes more than a year, to become negative. The reverse is also true. That is, a patient with celiac disease who has been on a gluten free diet and tests negative for IgA anti-gliadin antibodies, will show a rapid increase in antibody production when challenged by gluten in the diet. Approximately 90% of challenged patients will yield a positive IgA anti-gliadin result within 14-35 days after being challenged.
Celiac disease is a chronic digestive disorder that is caused by a hereditary intolerance to gluten. Gluten is a component of wheat, rye, oats, barley, and related grains hybrids like kamut, etc. When you consume gluten, it causes damage to the small intestine. It is believed that the body responds to gluten as if it was an antigen, and launches an immune system attack on your body. It causes your sm intestine to swell, which impairs your body to be able to absorb vital nutrients.
Once you have been gluten free (or free of any other food group) for a while, you have made yourself gluten intolerant. If you binge or return permanently to eating gluten you are going to feel some symptoms at first. It's like drinking (alcohol). If you stop for a while, one little glass of wine will send you for a loop. You have to re-introduce gluten slowly.
My best advice to anyone new to Hashi's is to read Michael Pollen's books.
