Dietary Interventions?

I was wondering what dietary interventions have been helpfull to your children.
Mickie has been on the Casein/Gluten free diet since he was five. Though it did not help with his autism symptoms, it did put an end to the chronic diahrrea he had suffered with since he was 1 year old.
It also improved his ability to sleep at night. Also his skin cleared up. He used to have a rash all over his body that went away within days of the diet change.
His heart beat also slowdown during sleeping hours.
About a month ago I started implementing the SCD diet and that stopped his constipation and has started to kill his yeast. He stopped stimming about two days into the diet.

It's so true, how our children though so much alike, are so different in so many ways. I get advice all the time about diets and treatments. What works for one may not work for another.

My daughter Hayoung is currently on GF&CF, Corn Free,Soyfree(except fermented soy, e.g. Miso) Sugar free, no yeast,no artificial color&flavour, no preservative and low GI.
My daughter has been on GFCF for 3and half yrs. We are Korean, so actually we didn't have a lot of gluten and dairy food in our diet. However, GFCF helped her sleeping and bowel movement and had stopped her tantrum for some time.
We tried SCD at the beginning of 2005 and there was a yeast die-off. However, I'd like to say it is very important to remember many ingredients of SCD are high phenol. Hayoung developed phenol problem after then and we stopped SCD. Later we found Hayoung had hypoglycaemia which is also common to autistic children, so now we don't consider strict SCD. We have tried several famous autism diets and concluded every child is different so little bit modification might be necessary to suit the child, and also found changing diet could affect enormously our child's health, positively or negatively. I think GFCF is good basically, but after then when we add another diet, we might need a careful consideration of individulaizing the diet and need to go slow in order to observe reactions to each food. Just my experience...(actually my daughter is a bad responder to everything)
