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?

    There is no evidence that this works. The pretty pie chart of statistics is the "level of expected improvement". If there is proper evidence published in a proper peer-reviewed scientific journal then please provide this.

    People can go to Research Autism website for their view of GFCF diets and other interventions.

    Research Autism are a UK based charity that provide useful information about interventions like GFCF diets. Their opionion is that this is an unproven therapy.
