Re: Does anyone know where I can find a list of foods that are GFCF AND YEAST FREE?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'm still fairly new to this group and don't know you at all, but I

wanted to mention some of the diets I've been reading about while

trying to heal my gut after learning about my non-ASD daughter's (and

my) food sensitivities. Most of these diets seem to be

autism-centric.

Have you heard about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? The

autism-focused version is here: www.pecanbread.com and it is GFCF,

focused on healing the gut and getting rid of yeast. GAPS (Gut and

Psychology Syndrome) is another version of the same thing, focused on

autism: www.guthealth.info.

There's also the vitamin K protocol,

VitaminK/ that is supplementing

with large doses of vitamin K2 in order to break up calcium oxalate

crystals in the body and they are claiming good success with reducing

autistic symptoms.

I hope I'm not out of line suggesting these, and that perhaps they can

be helpful to you!

Have you tried the nut milks? You can make them yourself from the nut

or buy them premade from Pacific Foods (Almond or Hazelnut) or Thai

Kitchen and others (coconut milk).

How old is your son?

Water is the best beverage after weaning from the breast. Everything

else is just " for fun " - humans like fun. Tea is a good one if he

likes it. Does it need to be sweet? Stevia is a good non-caloric

sweetener, much better than the manufactured ones.
