we have been doing the gf/cf diet for a couple weeks now with brayden, and though we've had a few set backs with him getting in to things he's not supposed to... he is starting to show some progress!! He has some real texture issues with foods.. anything mushy is just about the last thing he would touch.. he wont even go near ice cream because of his texture issues.. and tonight he ate REFRIED BEANS! he decided on his own to eat them and he ate them with a spoon! i am so proud of him!! i know people that don't know much about autism or sensory processing issues don't understand how amazing that is.. and i probably sound really weird to be excited about something like this.. but it really is a big deal! maybe some day he'll be able to stand looking at fruits and vegetables with out gagging!! AND not only did he eat the beans he used a spoon! he used a spoon for his cereal this morning too and has been doing great! he's getting better and better at it! i'm so excited to see some progress! i really hope this diet is what he needs! i love him so so much!

Yay! I am so excited for him (and you)! I hope the diet really works for him!
Yay Brayden! I think Caeli and Brayden are soul mates though. She hates anything with that mushy texture. Mashed potatoes are about the grossest thing on the planet to her. lol.
My goodness Amanda-that's incredible and you're not getting too excited at all. While I read your post, there were a few moments I thought you were talking about Brian...maybe I should put him on that diet. :) Hope it keeps going well for you! Give your boys great big hugs from their aunt Cassy for me! Love you!
YAY FOR BRAYDEN AND MOMMY!
