GFCF Diet, Take (2...3...4? I don't know!)

After listening to an absolutely captivating and remarkable nutritionist at the Autism Conference named Elizabeth Strickland, we decided to try the GFCF for a second round. She explained some things to us that made sense, and convinced us we need to give it an honest try. Kyle displays some symptoms of an allergy to at least milk. This time around, we have to be soy free. Some kids react to soy just like they do gluten. It all made sense when she explained it. And we'll give it a full three months, as that is the most recommended length (although I'm not convinced it needs to be that long).
 
I'm not expecting a miracle. I'm pretty sure Kyle won't be cured. But if it makes his Gastro-Intestinal issues improve, then that will be good.

We took him off milk today. So now he's drinking calcium fortified chocolate rice milk. He never drinks milk unless it's chocolate...haha. We let him, b/c it's one of the things in life he really enjoys. The nutritionist gave us the A-ok! 
 
We'll let you know how it goes this time around.
