Join Dr. Linda Collins and Sandi Star, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, for an informative seminar on the importance of gluten free nutrition.
Families with autistic children are especially welcomed to attend.
Saturday- April 3rd- 2010 11:00AM-1:00PM
The Gluten and Casein Free Diet for children with autism is a dietary intervention to lessen the digestive and bowel, and behavioral issues sometimes found in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Recent research indicates that there are children with a genetic predisposition to the disorder, which is then triggered by some as yet undetermined event–a vaccine, environmental toxin, or virus–which can cause a “leaky gut” (sometimes evidenced by resulting chronic loose stools as the child cannot properly digest these proteins). If this happens, wheat and dairy are then metabolized as opiates. It is believed that by eliminating gluten (wheat) and milk protein (casein), the gut will begin to heal and the child’s overall condition will improve somewhat.
