The most overlooked fact about GFCF Diet revealed
November 2, 2008 |
A GFCF diet is one void of gluten and casein. This diet seems to help those who are sensitive to the protein peptide found in gluten and casein. Among those who are sensitive are the autistic children.
Autistic children have difficulty digesting casein found in milk products and gluten found in wheat. (note the Cade study) The long chain amino acid protein found in casein and gluten does not get broken down like it would normally in you and me. The body cannot digest this peptide so now it is absorbed through a leaky gut, enter the blood stream and find its way to the brain. This peptide has an opiate effect and the children experience irritability, fogy mind and temper tantrums.
Take a look at your child’s diet. Does he/she crave foods loaded with milk products and gluten? Chances are they are getting ‘high’ from these foods.
A GFCF diet takes the pressure off the body. You may be thinking, “what can I feed my child?” That’s a normal reaction. Let me reassure you that there is plenty of food to eat. GFCF diet article summarizes a lists of does and don’ts.
