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.

The application and complete application guidelines are on our website

at www.generationrescue.org.

Thoughts About Implementing the GFCF diet

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 months

sample menu, food sources to avoid and a list of foods your child can
