Gluten-free, casein-free diet

parentsofasad

I am a dad of 4 and a half years old autistic son.

I read that Gluten-free, casein-free diet helps in controlling the autism of the child.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

  • Hi,

    I used  a similar diet with my son when he was younger, coincidentally well before he was diagnosed with AS. I did have him tested first and it did show that he had many intolerance's to not only foods but thinks like perfumes, felt tip pens and chemicals in cleaners etc.  We excluded everything on the list and it made a big difference to his behavior. I could always tell if he had something at school that he shouldn't off because his logic skills would deteriorate. Over the years we started adding things back into his diet as you do build up a tolerance level. by the age of 10 though he resented his diet and now at 17 I cant force him to stick to his diet it has to be his choice.
