GFCF Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet for Autism… Any tips? Any improvement?
I just started my 2 1/2 year old son on the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free diet. He is autistic and I was wondering if anyone has had any success with this diet. Also what kind of desserts are you using? I’m pretty limited to GFCF puddings, because my son doesn’t like baby food desserts or GFCF ice cream. Thanks!
Desserts are pretty easy. I make GFCF cookies, cakes, etc.
Make your own fruit popsicles using an ice cube tray and popsicle sticks or try fruit sorbets. If you make fruit juice ice cubes, you can add vitamin supplements to enrich them. I give fruit smoothies as sweet treats. If you add GFCF vanilla ice cream to the smoothie, it tastes like milk shakes.
You might also want to eliminate soy and corn out of your son’s diet also. Soy has excess amount of isoflavones and has an estrogenic effect so should not be given to boys. Most of corn is genetically modified and its hard to digest. Some moms told me that their kids improved more when corn and soy were removed from the diet. Digestive enzymes are neccessary because lots of our kids cannot break down food properly. My son mainly cannot digest protein correctly. Whenever he consumes gluten now, he has a terrible reaction to it. He get very hyperactive and is irritable. Digestive enzymes will make these reactions disappear but its not a substitute for a strict GFCF diet.
I suggest making your own food to control the ingredients and keep the cost down. Its cheaper to make big batches of pancakes, waffles, chicken nuggets, etc. and freeze them than buying them. Hidden sources of gluten are in many products. A friend of mine called every manufacturer of the foods her son’s eat and asked if it was gfcf. They responded by giving her coupons and answering her questions promptly.
I also rotate the foods he eats so that he will not develop food intolerances to them. Your son should also be on probiotics and omega fatty acids. Coromega is a great way to give kids their omegas because it tastes just like an orange and looks like pudding.
Good Luck
