Inside Autism Supplement To Gluten-Free Living Magazine=Awesome!

so I bought the latest issue of Gluten-Free Living last weekend, and it had an Inside Autism supplement coupled with it.  I just finished reading Inside Autism, and it was great!!!  Go out and buy it if you're able!  I learned that Dr. Fasano is conducting an extensive study relating to autism and dietary intervention.  Can't wait for those results!  Also in another article there was a quote that stated, "Approximately 90 percent of the brain chemical serotonin is found in the gut."  Celiac gut damage and depression/anxiety link strengthened even more.  There was also a wonderful article regarding a magician teaching children and adults magic tricks.  Read the excerpt below:

 

Spencer tells the story of teaching a simple magic trick to a 9-year-old-boy in a pediatric department of a hospital.  The child had never spoken a sentence until he asked Spencer a question about a magic trick. "He leaned way into me and looked me right in the eyes and said, 'Where do I put my hands?' I showed him how to hold the rope.  He asked, 'What do I do next?' In 20 minutes, he learned three magic tricks," said Spencer, who had no idea the boy was not an easy communicator.  But the boy's father watched as his child talked to the magician.  "That's the first time in nine years I've ever heard my son speak," the man said to Spencer. "It was really incredible." -Inside Autism Spring 2013

I promise I'm not a spokesperson for the magazine :P, but if you're interested in getting a subscription to Gluten-Free Living, Open Original Shared Link is offering a year subscription (6 issues) for $17 right now.  I bought it because I paid $10 for the last issue alone, but for the autism supplement, it was well worth the money!

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
