People With Autism Often Benefit From Specialized Diets
People with autism often suffer from severe digestive pain as a result of their difficulty in digesting wheat, dairy and soy-based products. It is now generally accepted that they often benefit from gluten-free (no wheat, barley or rye), dairy-free and soy-free diets.
Many children with autism on such diets often show significant improvement in language and sleeping and a reduction in problematic behavior. Susan K. Delaine and Peter J. Bauth provide families with delicious recipes in The Autism Cookbook:101 Gluten-Free and Allergen-Free Recipes. Erica Daniels, author of Cooking With Leo takes you into the real-life messy kitchen of a family affected by autism and food allergies, a family-inspired collection of over 60 allergen-free and autism-diet-friendly recipes to be prepared and shared together for the whole family.
