Is the gluten free diet working.....

If I had to make a call today as to whether or not to stick with, or ditch, the diet, hands down I would stick with it. Not only for Zane, but for all of us. Have I noticed a difference in Zane?  Absolutely!!!! The past few days have been really great. He still has his moments, but they are fewer, less intense bouts of "going to the dark side." He has also been able to sit still a little longer while reading books with us. That's probably the biggest difference, is his desire and ability to sit and read. I'm not claiming victory, as I have learned through lots of trial and error that this could be a fluke, and that we may see a set back in the near future. I am, however, hopeful that this is the beginning of a permanent change. As for the rest of us, we have all noticed a difference. I don't know how to explain it, but I am feeling better. My body feels lighter (not in the lbs sense) and healthier. I have definitely noticed a better over all feeling.  Right now, things just feel good, for me, my family, for all of us.  So we are sticking with the diet with great diligence and commitment. I am excited to see where this takes us and how it helps us. 10 days down and we are hooked. I would say for anyone out there that has a child, or themselves, that has signs of ADHD, Autism, or any kind of behavioral issue, cut the gluten out. I have spoken to a lot of MD's and therapists, and read a lot of articles and books lately, and they all say to start with making changes to the diet. For many it's gluten, dairy is also a big culprit in behavior. It takes 30 days for all of it to get out of your system, so you have to be commited to a full 4-6 weeks to see if it will work for you, but it's worth it. Doing what is best for you and your family, no matter how hard, is always worth it.
