Autism | Whey Watchers and Wheat Watchers: The Case against Gluten and Casein in Autism | Healing Thresholds | Connecting Community and Science to Heal Autism - 0 views
-
The potential benefits of a gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet for children with autism may not be worth the risk of poor nutrition from the restricted diet. This author states that current studies have not shown consistent benefits of a GFCF diet for many children with autism. However, many parents currently are enthusiastic about the GFCF diet. Nutritionists think that parents should be educated about following the diet. Parents need to make sure they provide children with good overall nutrition, whether on the GFCF diet or not.
