Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Are we talking about celiac disease or the abnormal peptides produced from casein by kids with ASD? casein > Would someone kindly enlighten me? I understand the damage gluten can do, and I understand that because of that, casein can be a problem until the gut is healed. What I don't understand is, when, if ever, can we reintroduce casein? I have several gluten-free cookbooks that include tons of dairy products, so I assume not all celiacs abstain from casein -- at least not for life. But, if casein is reintroduced, how do we know for certain that it isn't adversely affecting our kids? (unless, of course, they have obvious reactions to it). > Thanks so much! > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 no, people with celiac can not digest gluten it causes damage to the small intestine and eventually the whole body. They are often not able to digest milk untill bieng on a gluten free diet for at least 6 months allowing time for the intestine to heal.In relation to autism gluten and casein protiens are not completly broken down resultling in these protiens bieng released into the blood stream c reating an opiate like effect, for that reason for treating autism gluten and casein can never be reintroduced unless the reason the protiens are not broken down is found, like some have reported after bieng chealated for mercurey toxicity their ASD children were able to return to a more normal diet with no ill effects. For the majority of kids the source of the faulty gut remains elusive and therefore they stay on a restrictive diet indefinatly. But since the ASD symptoms are often greatly reduced by following the diet it is worth the effort and some kids even completly recover. This is how I understand it after much reading and reasearch. Hope I explained it Ok. F casein > > > > > > > Would someone kindly enlighten me?
