GFCF
What on earth are gluten and casein?

Gluten and gluten-like protein are found in wheat and other grains, including oats, rye, barley, bulgar, durum, kamut and spelt, and foods made from those grains. They are also found in food starches, semolina, couscous, malt, some vinegars, soy sauce, artificial colors and hydrolyzed vegetable proteins.

Casein is a protein found in milk and products containing milk, such as cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream, whey and even some brands of margarine. It also may be added to non milk products such as soy cheese and hot dogs in the form of caseinate.

The theory is some people with autism can not properly digest gluten and casein, which form subtansed that act like opiates in their bodies. Gluten and casein substance alter's the person's behavior, perceptions, and responses to their enviroment.

Children can eat a wide variety of meat, chicken, eggs, fruits, and vegetables – anything that does not contain wheat gluten or casein. It is generally recommended that organic, whole GFCF foods be consumed whenever possible.

Public Opinion

This conversation happened in the middle of 2007. I was doing my work when someone rang my phone and started talking to me. In the beginning, this person was talking about daily life, etc. It was nice until the subject mentioned my sons condition.

This person gave an opinion regarding my sons.

"There is nothing you can do to your son. Either you are working or not, your sons are just . . . .helpless . . .", this person said.

I was really shocked with the statement. My heart broken into pieces. In away, I never ask to have children with disability. Every parents wanted to have a healthy children, physically and mentally.

I mentioned this to my husband, and he was stunned. He just couldn't believe this conversation happened on these days. But then we realized, people just can easily over react in many ways over one simple silly things.

So then I said to my self, "Thank you Lord, for letting me through this conversation. There is always something behind this. Guide me, give me strength so people will see that our sons are Your true miracle."

Don't give up hope!

Hello There

Hi,

My name is Marry and I am the proud mother of twins autistic child, Aldrich and Axel. When I first found out my sons Aldrich and Axel were autistic in 2005, I was devastated.

Sometimes, I just want to hide them away so that no one could hurt them. But then, I realized that autism is just another way God wants to show us that we are all unique. God made them Special and loves them so much.

We enjoy to go to public spaces even though we never knew whether or not there would be an embarrassing situation. But we are so blessed. I learned through the eyes of faith that I would see them growing and progressing to the better.

Don't give up hope!

The proud Mom of
Aldrich and Axel
