We've had tremendous success on the GAPS diet, most of the information is free online. If you're already going GFCF, this may make it even easier. I decided to put our 3 year old on it for behavioral issues, she has CP and was always hovering right under the growth charts. She went from a kid that gained half a pound in one year to gaining 6 pounds in 5 months. She's in the 30th percentile now which I never would have imagined. I used to pump her full of supplements and oils and got nowhere-then I cut everything way back and just pretty much give her probiotics, enzymes and fish oil along with the GAPS food. We're not zealots on the diet, we certainly don't follow it to a tee, but we do adhere to the homemade bone broth everyday. I don't want to overwhelm you with another option, but I did want to pass it along. The mom I know through ABR had a daughter with intestinal migraines and now she is thriving too. Good luck-you're a great mom. I just wanted to pass along something that helped our daughter. We’ve had tremendous success on the GAPS diet, most of the information is free online.
