Agree. my son Stephen is sensitive to gluten/cows pro /soya BUT he now lives in Assisted living and nhs /social serv interfere and hav placed him on diet which includes gluten/and cows pro. He gets V BEHAVIOURAL/CONSTIPATED when he has these products and I (mum) hav to FIGHT to make his voice heard. they ignore and it goes on and on BUT we will NEVER give up on Stephen.
Hes lived there2yrs and only relatively recently nhs/social serv hav interferred with his diet. Its v bad and no one stops to see the DAMAGE thats being done to Stephen.
He was on gf/cow free/soya free for 21yrs when he lived at home But when he went into assisted living this trouble started. its sad for Stephen he gets no real choice and is SUFFERING.
NHS Eng say theres no evidence that gf/cf/soya free work by that they mean double- blinded studies. I as his Mum dont need double blinded studes but sadly i dont count so they get to push us around. Do the double blind studies and shut the creeps up
