My son's doctor is suggesting that he see a nutritionist--not the first time it's been suggested that diet can affect some of his health issues. The nutritionist is quite expensive--and with a new agey title to her practice (Healing Paths), will we get reimbursed through our health insurance? The doctor suggested that my son stop eating wheat for 7-14 days to see if he feels any different. Not clear what he's supposed to be looking for. And not eating wheat is quite dramatic--no pizza, pasta, quesedillas (guess we can ones made with corn), bread, pancakes...for what? I just read excerpts from a recent study that finds no link between removing gluten from a child's diet at autistic behaviors.
I did make an appointment with the nutritionist, but unless I can determine that we'll get reimbursed, I suspect that we'll bail out...
But I am interested--links well with my interest in yoga, meditation, breathing as natural ways to deal with issues such as depression and anxiety.
