Special diet to help lessen symptoms?

You may find it offensive, but medical science does not, can not and should not accept testimonials as basis for treatments or theories. If it helps you, that is good.



And thousands wouldn't. I am sorry, but that sort of statements are complete BS and I find your use of fallacies offensive.

It's not that hard to change your diet as long as you don't do it overnight. I did it over the course of a few years because I noticed I felt a lot better, so I was motivated. Scientific medicine is not the crown of creation.

The diet obviously won't have effects for everyone. If someone's body processes gluten efficiently, then gluten isn't their problem and removing it will have no effect. But for many people gluten is a problem. Removing gluten has made a difference for many many people. I hear it again and again. I think it's made a big difference in my son. And there are doctors and scientists who are devoting their careers to helping people on the spectrum. One thing most of them seem to agree on is that nutrition is essential. And Zwerfbeertje, what does it matter to you if someone is curious about the diet or wants to try it? Let them try it. Why try to talk them out of it? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I think many people on the spectrum, especially parents of spectrum children, just want to try something else because the mainstream medical community isn't helping them.
