As we were driving home today we realized that we have not had takeout since we started this GF/CF diet. We have to find places for us to order out food in case we run into times when making food at home is not a possibility. Ryan is doing so well on his diet that we are constantly getting reports of what a different child he has become and it is amazing.
Today Ryan was re-tested for OT and we have to wait for the official report. However, as Dawn was talking to the evaluator she was telling us that Ryan did such a great job of doing the activities. When she was interviewing his teachers they were telling her stories about how Ryan would not sit still, would not listen, or follow directions. When she was evaluating Ryan she was thinking that everyone was lying to her. Ryan did a fantastic job. He held her hand and walked her over to table where they could work. He followed directions and stayed on task for the testing. Before this diet Ryan had a very limited attention span. To hear that he sat through the entire test and followed directions is nothing short of miraculous. While he does have some areas that will need to be addressed with some OT therapy, he is showing improvement since his last OT evaluation six months ago.

We began this blog to share our experiences placing our son Ryan on a gluten-free, casein-free,(and now egg-free) diet. The diet is one part of the healing process we have in place to rid his body of toxins and improve his Autism Spectrum behaviors. We hope that someday our stories will help other families who have chosen to follow this diet. Over time the blog grew into much more than that. We are sharing just about everything that goes on with Ryan while he's on his road to recovery!
