We started the SCD last week and I must say that I am AMAZED. We have been doing GFCF since about Nov, but since starting this diet, Caroline is an eating machine! AND ... she is eating the kinds of things we could only dream she would be eating. Yesterday she snacked on fresh cooked green beans while we played outside. Today she ate a carrot stick for a snack. She seems to be loving eating now which is great since she hasn't gained weight in forever.
When we started, she ate the chicken soup that was for the first 2 days in one morning. :-)
We have pretty much just kept stuff that is OK in the house and I must say, Mommy and Daddy will probably be healthier too.

Hey that's great that your daughter is eating healthy foods. Keep reinforcing her while she eats the food and make it a wonderful experience for her, then she'll maintain the behavior for the rest of her life. Yay Caroline!! http://www.asatonline.org/suggreading/newsletter.htm
Check out the website above for current research about the GfCf diet. It seems it may have no effect, according to several studies where they compared two groups of children with autism - where one group is on the diet while the other is not. Anyways, just thought you might be interested.

Uhg, the info seems to be in an Adobe .pdf and those have been crashing my computer big-time lately. If anyone has the time and capability, could you post the stuff about the GFCF study? I'm interested!
I'm also interested in the Spec Carb diet mentioned in this post. If it can help me get my kiddo to eat healthier foods, I'm up for trying it! Heck, I'd like to give it a try myself.
See if this link works. If

Wow, this looks worth looking into. We don't have a problem getting Wyatt to eat. He just doesn't like vegetables.
Same here until recently.
Same here until recently. She has been eating and enjoying everything now. Something is going on for sure. It's almost like she knows (or her stomach) knows that she is eating food that will agree with her more. Maybe not, I am just happy to see so much eating. She just ate another carrot for a snack. Feels like I am in a dream. :-)
