Biomedical Recovery from Autism - the GFCF Diet: 2 MONTHS

[SageHealth136]

It's not so hard! There is a lot of info out there as well as recipes and places to shop on line! The best book I read on this was "Gluten Free for Dummies". I really didn't know much about it before, but it really cleared up a lot of misconceptions I had!

GFCF helped out daughter trememdously as well.

My son went from LOW FUNCTIONING to a regular goofy little boy thanks to going GFCF. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it seems to work for enough children that it certainly is worth trying for anyone with a child on the autism spectrum. I don't know why so many parents get so upset when I mention GFCF to them.

What a cutie!! Have you added in vitamins yet? This is also very important. My son improved dramatically on the gfcf diet. It was unbelievable. His tantrums were reduced by over 75% in 2 wks, noises he made reduced by 50% in 2 wks and he potty trained himself in 2 days. I couldn't believe it. Here we are 2 yrs later. The diet is extremely easy for us now. We have finally been able to add back in a small amount of dairy, but gluten is still out.

Thanks! Yes, he's been on some specific vitamin supplements almost as long as he's been GFCF, plus some supplements for immune system support. I agree, the diet gets so much easier over time, you wonder how you ever thought it was hard. But in those first few weeks, man, what a lifestyle change. :)

Wow this is an amazing transformation. I have a 3 year old high functioning autistic child and I am considering trying a gfcf diet but am so nervous about how hard the change will be.

I won't lie, it was the hardest thing I've ever done. But it was made much harder by not being sure what the outcome would be. It's hard to believe random people on the internet, I know. :) But as soon as I started seeing results, it was all worth it, and I knew I had to do everything I could to spread the word. I have a cooking blog that (I hope) can help with the transition - see the video info box for a link. Good luck!

He's adorable (they both are) and wow, what a huge difference between now and before the gfcg diet. Also some awesome parenting going on :) All the best to you...
