Remember, Diet can really make a difference in Autism symptoms. The research is coming and it looks really promising. To sum up the article, by eating a gluten and casein free diet, kids with autism showed an improvement in symptoms. Here are some steps to eating a gluten free diet.
Here are ten tips to follow when starting a gluten free diet.

1. Get a comprehensive list of where gluten can be found. The Gluten Intolerance Group of North America has an excellent bulletin about gluten free foods. www.gluten.net

2. Learn how to read food labels. In the United States, food companies are now required to list if wheat is included in the ingredients. Many products say “gluten free” on the packaging as a marketing concept; however it is important that you learn what is actually in your food and become a gluten “detective”.

3. Stick to “real” food for a while. Most of the food we eat today isn’t even food. The majority of what we stick in our mouths is processed. Try eating fruits and vegetables, meat, and whole grains such as wild rice or quinoa. You will feel better and not have to worry whether you are ingesting gluten. These foods are inherently gluten free. Search our recipe archives for some terrific rice and quinoa recipes.

4. Make a list of the foods you really love and look online for a gluten-free replacement recipe. There are many websites with wonderful recipes and cooking tips.

5. Join a local support group or an online community. Both the Celiac Sprue Association and The Gluten Intolerance Group have local groups that provided support in many communities. Also, many Whole Foods Markets offer monthly gluten free gatherings.

6. Find a local cooking school or instructor to help you learn how to make your favorite recipes. There are also weekend seminars to help you learn how to cook gluten free foods, such as The Gluten & Allergen Free Expo.

7. Meet with a nutritionist that really understands the gluten free diet. Your nutritionist can be of tremendous help in making sure you are getting enough fiber and nutrients on your new diet.

8. Find a blog you really like and become a member of the online gluten free community. There is a lot of support online for those on a gluten free diet.

9. Locate a few restaurants in your community that can provide you with safe gluten free food. There are times when you don’t feel like cooking and it is really great to know you can eat our safely.

10. Find a friend to support you on your gluten-free journey. Any journey is easier if you are not alone!

Have a healthy week,
