I have seen claims that a GF diet has helped behaviors in autistic children. I have never heard if the same applies to IDD kids. I agree that putting a kid on a special diet, unless medically required, is a little much.
With Abbie, the problem I see is there are many things they feed her that can have adverse reactions in all people. MSG, artificial sweeteners. Everything in moderation of course, but when she receives little to no nutrition in what her โMomโ provides, then filling her up with cookies and guacamole style Doritos just seems to make a bad situation worse. All that rambling.. lol.. sorry.
The only person that was seriously affected negatively by an attempt at GF dieting was Pig. We all know the real truth.
