VITAMIN A PALMITATE. *Adds a
trivial amount of cholesterol

Rice Shreds are also a little bit more expensive. It both says Casein in their ingredients.
I read Veggie Shreds are not completely dairy free because of that.
Also reading the ingredients neither sound very healthy lol. I have tried both and don't really notice a taste but if they contain dairy or gluten I have to stay away and these are the only dairy free cheese brands that are sold by me.

The reason for avoiding dairy products makes a difference to whether these products are suitable for you. If you are lactose intolerant, the rice shreds would most likely be ok, but if you are casein intolerant, both are definitely a nono.

On the other hand, if you are avoiding dairy for ethical reasons (eg. vegan, very strict Hindu, etc) then neither would be any good.

They sound ideal for gluten intolerants/celiacs though. What are they for and where do you get them?

As an aside - by Galaxy Nutritional Food Company… What other sort of food is there?

Other Autistic mothers.. does anyone know how i can help my autistic son talk he use to .. ?

December 292008

but like other children with autism he stopped and he only says a few things like mama dada and baby and sometimes spontaneously says things like backyardigans and four. so hes been in speech therapy since he was 2 and hes in school now and still receiving therapy hes 3 now and i talk to him all the time and make sure hes looking at my mouth to see how to enunciate but i feel like nothings working i also have him on the casein and gluten free diet and on zeolite and b12 vitamins .. any other moms have any tips???

My grandson is autistic and 8 years old. He has lived with me since birth, and I am his primary caregiver. He also stopped talking just like your child, and it seemed like he would never speak again. Mostly grunting noises, and whining was all he did. It was heartbreaking to watch. You’ve done well to have your child in spech therapy early, he should also receive physical therapy as well. My grandson was silent for the most part until he was 5. Then, he started talking!
Now, he talks up a storm. Every child with autism is different, but you are already heading in the right direction with the speech therapy. Be patient, it will come. Keep reading to him (if he tolerates it), talking to him, and encourage communication. Some folks use sign language as well, it seems to connect with regular language, and helps them to learn words easier. Best Wishes and Good Luck. ♥
