Wow! Gluten is not our friend :(

[mountainsunshine]

So we have been going gluten free since April and lately have been doing very well with it. The baby, who has a speech delay and posible asd started to imitate and also talk and my 5yo aspie stopped running in circles talking jibberish (aka devil voice). My 3yo has had no constipation and also less stimming (pdd-nos).
So tonight we slipped. We went out and had pizza. We had changed plans there is a pizza place here that is GF we ended up somewhere else. Within 20 mins the baby had the grossest greenest poop I have ever seen from her and believe me she has had some nasties! And my 5yo was using devil voice and runing around. Not sure if this is related,but all were edgy and bickering and then my 3yo wet herself. Bummer! No gluten for us for sure. Is this forever? Are my kids always going to be on a restricted diet? Do enzymes really help with this?

Sounds like gluten is a no no for you guys! That's great for you that you have found the culprit tho because I think for most that's the hardest part. There are ways to heal the gut. Are doing any gut healing? I'm not sure about enzymes.

It might be worth a Celiac gene test for you and your DP. That could tell you if you and your children are likely to need to be GF forever.
It's so hard to be restricted. Kudos to you for recognizing the role that food is playing in these issues!
And, re: the behavioral/inter-relational aspect- yes, it could definitely be related.

Thanks ladies for responding.
I would love to know more about gut healing. My head is really spinning with too much info these days.
My SIl has celiacs or at least was DX celiacs as a baby. She eats gluten now and we really think my neice needs to be GF. Can I ask a Dr to do this sort of test? If so which one specifically do I ask for? Can I do testing after being GF?

TIA
