Still blamed by my mother for my son having autism...or not.

I find my mother and grandmother hard work its like hitting your head against brick walls at times.

Unfortunately my grandmother's like that with my two cousins just can't seem to connect the hyperactivity and toothrot with the sweet tins

ProtossX, unless you have something helpful to contribute, stay out of the discussion. It has nothing to casein free "autism diets" and everything to do with a boy's health being in danger.

If you had ever known anyone with food allergy, you would know that reactions can vary significantly. Someone can eat something "bad" and just get minor hives if anything, and a month later eat a tenth as much of something else "bad" and end up in the ER. You don't just play roulette with stuff like that.

If he grows out of the allergy (like many people do) then good for him, I like cheese too. But until he's old enough to take the risks to find out on his own, he shouldn't eat any of it.

Even I could babysit better than some of the people on here (not all) if a child was to pester me for a food they were allergic to, I'd simply refuse them access to it. After all, I am the responsible adult. Any thing goes wrong, I am the one to deal with it or to blame. Sometimes I forget my step-brother has an allergy or intolerance to lactose based foods, and he has to remind me when I offer him some food.

Has she every seen the after afects of giving him dairy? If she does, I doubt she will give him any further dairy. If she cares enough.

I and my husband live with my MIL. She is unable to take care of her self financially, and you can not run two homes.

I have found her to be quite good, thank God for that. She read an article on Ophra's website about autism and how gluten an casein should be cut out of the diet for small children. Since then she has not pushed us to give our 22 month old dairy. I've replaced it with soya milk.

Today, I've made my first banana corn bread. Was good while it was still nice and warm, but does not rise as much as you would like it. Not soft and fluffy though, but a start.

Let her see the affects of her handy work. You can also schedule an appointment with a specialist and take her with. Let her sit in on the meeting where everything will be explained by a specialist, she can then also ask questions. I did that telephonically when I heard my little one was alergic to cat hair and pollen, otherwise I would never have heard the end of it.
