A nice letter I received re: my book
I get great letters from mom’s all the time…someone suggested that I post them here on my blog, with the mom’s permission, of course. I received this SWEET one today!! She also posted a great review on Amazon. I am now finally getting more…up to 20…
Here is her amazing letter!!! Will post others soon.
Dear Barrie,
I just wanted to drop you a note and say that I have read your book (and I keep going back to it and using it as a reference) and the GFCFSF diet is making a big difference in my 10 year old son with Asperger’s. He’s been diagnosed since he was five, and I’d always “poo-pooed” on the idea of doing the GFCF diet because he is very high functioning and I didn’t really think we’d see enough benefits to merit the hassle and added expense that I thought it would be. But, I started the diet about 4 months ago and my husband and I see great changes in our sweet boy. He’s a different kid!
Your book has been my primary resource for implementing the diet. Your book was also the impetus for me removing all the artificial preservatives, colors and dyes out his food and his toiletries. I don’t think that would’ve occurred to me to do otherwise.
I’m learning that this is a “learning process” as we go and it’s getting easier to implement. I’m currently trying to figure out if soy is a problem for us, too. The “jury’s still out” on that one: I don’t know that we’ve given it enough time to make that call or not. His eczema was flaring horribly even on the GFCF diet, so we removed soy, and it got better and then it came back, so I don’t know. We’ll see.
All that to say, you’ve written a great resource for all us moms out there trying to fight for our kiddos. We’re benefitting from your book. So, thanks.
And Merry Christmas.
Sincerely,
Laurie Stilwell
