Gfcf diet - does this work? Anyone heard of it?

Autismmummyrocks

Hi 

I am a mum of an autistic little boy of 2.5years. 

our little boy only eats plain white foods only like toast, pasta, crisps, crackers ect.. 

On the internet there are no proven facts that it works- but cutting out gluten and casien will help with behaviour And symptoms that are on the autism spectrum. 

Anyone tried or heard of this?

  • Gluten free diet for Autism works in may cases, but the dietary needs of the child needs to be carefully administered, primiraly because the child may have picky eating habits and may resist GFCF Food.

    I would recommend talking to your GP to refer to a dietician. Often the dietician can ensure 2 things:

    • That your child's daily nutritional needs are adequately met by a proposed GFCF Diet Plan
    • If the nutritional needs are not met, the at least the dietician can suggest alternative supplements.
