I just posted this from my personal page but don't know how to just share that discussion in here so I apologise if it becomes redundant. Please let me know if any of you have tried nutritional changes and what your results have been...
I'm embarking on a mission to overhaul my family's diet based on tons of research which has convinced me that it will be hugely beneficial to all of us. Plus, I have high hopes that it will actively fight my son's Vitiligo and prevent the various associated conditions he's at risk for. I'm also going to blog and "vlog" about our progress along the way.

I've been slowly incorporating these changes by introducing more fruits/veggies every day and serving up vegen/gluten-free/vegetarian dishes several times a week and we've already seen some rapid re-pigmenting of the main vitiligo patch he's got on his back. I have to admit that I noticed some freckles beginning to form in May but they've REALLY taken off in the last 4 weeks (which is when I started doing all this diet stuff). Maybe it's a coincidence but I'm highly encouraged.
Wish I'd been taking regular photos to track it, but I'm going to do this weekly from here on out. Here's the photo I took last night:

I will read more of this in the afternoon... but thanks for sharing!! My daughter has been gluten free since december. While I see some repigmenting occurring, I also see new spots. Right now, though, my 11 year old son is wanting to check espn on the computer... so I am being kicked off! :)
