We occasionally get letters or comments from parents that have seen improvements in health with REID. To help provide hope to so many still in the trenches, I’ve decided to make more of an effort to share some these comments (with their permission, of course). Many of us don’t have it all figured out, but we cling to the hope and words of progress. Everyone’s journey is different, diet changes may not reap huge changes for all, but it is absolutely helping some. Like this family, glutamate and the REID diet have been a huge piece to our puzzle. Thank you for giving us hope…
“At the age of 2.2 years old my son was diagnosed with severe form of autism. He used to be nonverbal, not potty trained, no eye contact, OCD, and a lot of vocal and motor stimming. He could barely walk( tip toe) and his right arm wasn’t really functioning. He couldn’t jump, he slept 2-3 hours during the night, and he constantly was running away from us. Now, he is 4 and all the things has changed drastically for him and for the entire our family. He says words in Russian and English, he counts up to 10, knows all colors, fruits&vegetables, geometric shapes, and animals in both languages. He has 100% of eye contact. He learned how to jump, has no vocal stimming (only during the dye-off), fully potty trained, plays with his toys appropriately, and he is not afraid of public places anymore. We still struggling with yeast, speech delay, and GABA but, hopefully, soon he will get better. Thank you, Dr.Reid, Milla, Andi, and Christa for your support!!!🌺”
