Generation Rescue Announces Rescue Family Grant Program

We are proud to announce our Rescue Family Grant program! Generation Rescue is offering a grant program for first time biomedical autism treatments that may not otherwise be covered privately or by other third-party funding sources such as school districts, county programs, insurance, and/or other grant making entities. We are now accepting our first round of 250 applications for our Rescue Family program; applications must be received by July 15, 2009. Applicants who meet the grant program criteria and complete the grant

application will be considered for a Rescue Family grant. Rescue Family grants are based on economic need within the applicants specific geographic area. Generation Rescue's Rescue Family grants are designed to provide support to individuals and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders. Each grant recipient will receive two doctor visits with a specially trained physician who treats individualized medical conditions associated with autism. Grants also include a 90 day supply of vitamins, minerals and supplements, a Generation Rescue-Rescue Mentor and information on dietary interventions. We are currently in the process of negotiating some laboratory testing as well

and hope to have some additional announcements in the next few weeks.Applicants must complete and mail the grant application by July 15th in order to be considered for the Rescue Family program.

Thoughts About Implementing the GFCF dietby s

It is pretty easy to substitute your child's favorite foods with gluten-free options like GF waffles, GF pancakes, GF muffins, GF pasta which all are readily available in stores. GFCF hotdogs and chicken nuggets are also pretty close to the taste of the original gluten containing versions, and easy to substitute. Breads are more difficult to substitute, since gluten's texture makes bread more difficult to duplicate with gluten-free flours. As you try different brands of GFCF bread, consider making some of your own. Gluten-free breads, with and without yeast, taste much better and have a fresher texture when made at home.Some aspects of going casein-free are also easy to change: butter substitutes such as ghee and coconut oil are delicious, healthy, and available in most health food stores. Coconut yogurt (by So Delicious) is dairy-free and soy-free, casein-free pudding and ice

cream is also nearly indistinguishable from the dairy versions. Milk can be slowly diluted over time with dairy-free milk. Mac and cheese can be made fairly easily without any cheese substitute at all. Melted cheese on GF pizza is harder to mimic because of its gooey texture. Fortunately, Galaxy Foods makes a Vegan Rice cheese that is free of casein and caseinate, as well as soy-free, that can be used when you simply must have pizza.Here are some initial steps for implementing GFCF:1. Experiment. Before removing anything, introduce GFCF alternatives such as rice pasta, GF waffles, and other GFCF foods and snacks as this will support the elimination strategy. Try some prepared foods and mixes. Find options you child likes and that you can substitute later during implementation.2. Explore GFCF resources (books, cookbooks, videos, autism websites)

to become familiar with the diet and learn helpful ideas, what to expect, and what foods are allowed. Watch instructional videos - many are available at YouTube. 3. Create a meal plan-a list of gluten-free and casein-free foods, meals, and snacks your child will eat or that you would like to make on GFCF.4. Shop for foods according to meal plan, as well as purchasing GFCF flours, milks, and other cooking staples.5. Then, begin eliminating one at a time:

Start with the elimination of casein-for two weeks, then...

Remove gluten and continue both (gluten-free and casein-free) for three to six monthsFor 's full article and a list of how to implement the diet, a sample menu, food sources to avoid and a list of foods your child can eat on a GFCF diet go towww.generationrescue.org resource page.
