Milk and Wheat

NAS39410

There are two opinions about the relationship between autism and Wheat and Milk. Does anyone have a practical experience with this issue?

Parents

  • I have no problem with wheat and moderate lactose intolerance (which I don’t have reason to believe is linked to my autism).

    However, removing dairy from my diet makes me ill (I tried it for vegan month at uni and expect it’s a ‘not managing my nutritional intake’ issue because I have so many other things to focus on to keep myself alive/functioning), so I take lactase tablets if I am eating a good portion of it.

    Removing wheat from my diet would probably remove half my food intake. When I was a child with severe texture issues, even more so!

    People make a lot of fuss about wheat but I have never seen anything that suggests it is actually harmful unless you have a genuine allergy. Humans have been cultivating grains for so long as a staple food, if it was really as evil as health nuts claim we probably wouldn’t have made it this far lol.
