My son has been GFCF for 3 years now. Additionally, we do no soy, preservatives, or artificial anything. Basically it is a simple diet. We eat a protein, a fruit, and a veggie at each meal. I do not buy processed crap and we try to stay away from starches because they just break down in your body as sugar which feeds yeast. The diet has been an important part of cleaning up my child's GI issues. He has loose stool for the first three years of his life. Once we got him off gluten, casein, refined sugars and grains, and soy, his GI issues all but cleared up and we were then able to potty train him. In most cases, after you get their GI issues cleared up, you can begin to re-introduce gluten in small amounts back into their diet. personally, I would never go back to in jesting casein unless it was in the raw form. processed milk products are damaged goods. The vitamin d is all but stripped from it during the pasteurization process not to mention all of the beneficial flora is killed and the protein is changed into a less than adequate form (known as casein).

So many people get overwhelmed by the diet at first but keep it simple. No junk food and make sure everything is fresh, whole and organic. If you are not buying pre-packaged processed food (which is full of gluten not to mention tons of other hazardous materials) then you will be fine. You can go to the TACA web site and they have a list of foods that are common in your grocery store that are gluten free.

Casein is the tricky ingredient. Soy cheeses have casein in them so stay away from dairy substitutes that have soy ingredients.

Going GFCF seems overwhelming at first because we have to change our mindset about foods. This is not a bad thing considering the alarming rise in obesity, and the comorbitities associated with obesity such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. Most of these diseases and illness can be reversed once you go to a healthy diet that is free of junk. Just remember each meal should have one protein, one veggie, and one fruit. That is it; simple really.

Our son has been GFCF for over 10 years, we can definetely tell when he gets

into some gluten or milk products. There are very good enzymes available for

those occassions.

ARI has a parent driven survey that indicates out of 3,593 respondents 69%

reported positive effects from the GFCF diet. This is one of the highest

positive ratings for any intervention, including drugs.

http://www.autism.com/pdf/providers/ParentRatings2009.pdf

This is not a scientific study, just parents volunteering their experience.

The GFCF diet does sound overwhelming, but thats because of what you can't have.

What you can have is all meats, all fruits and all vegetables. Thats a pretty

big list.

My sons have been on the guff diet for 13 years. I was very fortunate to have a friend, at that time, who had two children with autism and was a dietician/nutritionist who told me about the diet when my sons were 2 years old.The diet definitely helps their GI issues but they also have a lot of food allergies.It was much easier to start the diet at age 2 than when they get older.For the most part, they are calm children. We have been following the DAN protocol, like , for the past eleven years, using different biomedical treatments.Sent from my iPad

That is true, but many children on the spectrum are also sensitive to phenols (which can impact behavior & sleep) which a good number of fruits (bananas, apples, etc) contain in considerable quantities. Just something to be aware of before you start loading up on fruit.DebraTo: sList From: smoyer@...Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:14:11 +0000Subject: Re: GFCF Diet and Recovery HELP

If she has a sensitivity to eggs than our breakfast will not work for you. We drink smoothies with raw eggs (organic and free range only), and I make

a pinto bean waffle (sounds disgusting but is awesome!) The waffles are GFCF and full of protein and have no refined carbs or starches. Here is the recipe:

Healthy

Waffles

2 eggs

2 cups cold water

1 Tablespoon sugar (I use Stevia instead)

1/3 cup ground flax seed (6

Tbs.) OR 2 Tbs. olive oil

1 & 1/2 cups dry oatmeal (Use the Bobs Red Mill gluten free oatmeal)

1 & 1/2 cups (soaked overnight)

beans*

1/2 t. salt

1 t. cinnamon (optional)

Put all in blender and blend on high

up to a minute. Makes 4+ cups of batter.

Heat waffle iron and cook waffles 10

minutes (don't peek). Freeze excess waffles after cooling off.

*Great Northern, pinto, garbanzo all

work well

(measure after soaked).

That's right. Take a look at the Feingold diet. www.feingold.org Some parents I know swear by it.

That is true, but many children on the spectrum are also sensitive to phenols (which can impact behavior & sleep) which a good number of fruits (bananas, apples, etc) contain in considerable quantities.
