Have just opened the envelope and am slightly in shock. Results showed a presence of IAG in DS1's urine which indicates that DS1 may have "leaky gut" and would probably benefit from a gluten free diet. Casein, and therefore dairy was inconclusive.
Where to start, am really ignorant about what contains gluten and what doesn't, can anyone recommend anything I could read? Jimjams, i know you're a pro where this is concerned, how quickly did you see results with your ds'? And should i now get DS2 (12 mths, so far seems NT) tested, just to see if he has the same thing?
In case anyone is wondering what on earth I'm talking about, the uni of sunderland do urine testing for people with ASD to determine whether a metabolic problem could be causing or exacerbating ASD symptoms. DS1 is a bit borderline language disorder/ASD so I sent it off in the spirit of anything being worth a try. Now it looks like i've opened a can of worms but if it improves things for DS1 I'll be delighted!
