Gluten and autism
by chemeco, Oct 18, 1998 12:00AM
I have recently found information regarding gluten-free and dairy-free diet as a therapy for autism. Related to absorption of peptides, blood-brain barrier, and possible interference with neuropeptides. Any body here ever run across this? Can't hurt to try it? The child in question is 3 year old male, urine loaded with protein. Interested in any input. Thanks.
Dear Chemeco,
I am not aware of this information. However, the Gastroenterology Forum no longer has the availability of a pediatric gastroenterologist. You may want to post this message in the Maternal/Child Forum.
