Going Gluten and Casein Free - Does This Diet Affect Those with Autism?

Thank you Indy's Child Magazine for the opportunity to speak on the GFCF diet as an option for assisting those with autism (article link here).

Contrary to what many still believe (also noted in the article), the gut-brain connection has been positively demonstrated in several studies over the years. One particular study, "The Possibility and Probability of a Gut-to-Brain Connection in Autism" published by Reichelt et. al. in 2009 can be referenced at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19917211.
