http://www.gfcfdiet.com/ Tap on the Shopping Guide in the middle of page cost is $14.95

This is all you need. There is so much now recipes and stores online for free.

Like Dr. Oz says, stay away from wheat, white rice, flour and sugars.

Do not start 100%. start slow so you and child do not get burned out.

The diet is not hard, not expensive, once you learn to read the labels and have your staples down

you will be fine. We will all help you.

Hi all,My son was recently diagnosed with high functioning autism. As we wait for our appointment with a biomedical doc, we are thinking about starting a GFCF diet. My concern is that our son already has an issue with constipation and it seems the diet calls for a lot of rice and not so much fiber. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start and how to make sure his constipation doesn't get worse?And should we start giving him a nutritional supplement now or wait until we see the doc? Thanks from a newbie to all of this,Kathy

I would say that for most kids the gfcf diet helps tremendously with

constipation. Eat as much of a whole foods diet as possible. Dairy is

constipating for a lot of people so that typically helps. Switch to non soy milk

if possible (we like almond or my favorite coconut). My daughter is now only cf

but I ended up going dairy, sugar and grain free (paleo) myself. Taca has great

guide to going gfcf slowly. Also check out primal and paleo sites for great info

and recipes (mark's daily apple, the clothes make the girl, whole 9, and nom nom

paleo are ones I check daily!). Remember vegetables have a lot of fiber. I also

use CALM magnesium drink for both myself and my daughter. It is great for

sleeping and keeping u regular!

CALM is great stuff for moms as well! It is the one thing I make sure not to run

out of! It is my nightly ritual! I work with people who like it during the day

as well!
