Product Description
People with autism often are intolerant of gluten (a protein in four types of cereal) and casein (a protein found in animal's milk). There are many testaments to the benefits for such people of a diet that excludes gluten, casein, monosodium glutamate and aspartame, and these persuaded Marilyn Le Breton to put her autistic son Jack on the diet.
This is the book that Marilyn wishes had been available to her when she first did so. In it she explains what the diet is all about and how it works, what foods can form part of the diet and what should be excluded. She addresses frequently asked questions and misconceptions, such as `Is the diet too difficult and time-consuming? How strictly do I need to adhere to it? Is the diet expensive to implement?' and gives practical advice on basic equipment and ingredients, what to expect when your child starts the diet, how to adapt family meals and how to minimize cross-contamination in the kitchen. The book includes a wide selection of recipes, an extensive list of addresses and websites of suppliers of foodstuffs in the UK, and suggestions for finding out more information. It is the first book of its kind to be written specifically for those living in the UK.
Marilyn's own experience and sensible approach ensure that this book will be invaluable for any parent of a child with autism, or any adult considering embarking on the diet.

GF/CF helps in early stages of recovery October 11, 2007
Amanda Abraham
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
A lot of parents find the GF/CF diet helps in the early stages of recovery, as it reduces behaviors. Long term we find that after you heal the gut it is no longer necessary. There is a book that describes healing the gut with herbs that I liked very much it's He's Not Autistic But...: How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss by Tenna Merchent. Although he wasn't GF/CF, because he wasn't allergic to wheat, she did have him on a very restrictive diet during his illness because he was allergic to milk, corn, soy, oats and several other things. With energy medicine and herbs she was able to completely recover her son.
