I loved your son's sentence - "Alexander naughty." We have a special son Nick who is eight and his 11 year old brother is Alex. What a tremendous motivator a naughty brother can be to learn to talk! I have to share this with Nick and Alex!
We started the gf/cf diet about two months ago, so we have a little experience. We have found that some of the new food goes over really well. Nick always loved fresh baked bread, so we got some substitutes for wheat flour and made fresh baked bread from that. It is really quite tasty to all of us, and Nick eats that as readily as he ate bread with flour. We have also found that by experimenting with different meats and milk substitutes we find the ones that he will like, and then we keep getting them. We have had to let all of our legends surrounding food that he didn't like before go, and try them again. We now have a boy who can fill himself up in a nutritional way.
There are lots of tips at this web site: http://-+-/. There is even a way you can input what your son eats and see what nutrition he is getting. Using that information we were able to see that it was important to supplement Nick's calcium.
The rest of us have continued to eat what we were before. We just do not make a big deal about it in front of Nick. I believe Nick has seen so much progress himself from this diet that he is willingly staying away from gluten and cassein. We took him to an open house last week where there was lots of food sitting out that he should avoid, and he did avoid it. He choose to eat only fruits, which he loves.
The diet has made a big difference for him. It is like a fog has been lifted. He can't understand why anyone eats gluten and cassein! Maybe he has a good point! I may try the diet myself.
It was most difficult at the beginning. At that time we all were eating gf/cf diets at meals and whenever we ate with Nick, and didn't say anything to Nick about being gf/cf. Our hope was that Nick would notice the improvement in himself, and then be motivated to stay on the diet. He did really improve and then we told him why. We are grateful that it has worked like that.
Please feel free to send an email if I can be of more help.
