Many parents  have joined together  providing a list of foods they have found to be gluten and casein free.  Through our joint effort, we want to  help other parents who are also seeking to improve the lives of their children through nutritional foods that are gluten and casein free. This diet is helpful to our children.  This list is a guide to be used for calling and verifying that products are gluten and casein free.   It does not list every product that is gluten free and casein free. You must always read labels!  Use this list with caution due to the fact that manufacturers change their ingredients without warning. This may be due  to changes in the recipe, changes in the ingredients supplied to the manufacturer, or changes in the production & manufacturing methods, including cross contamination concerns. Parents and individuals with food allergies and intolerances are responsible for reading the labels and confirming ingredients of all products they intend to use regardless of how the product is represented on this site. Certain unacceptable ingredients may be hidden under the  name of natural flavorings. Modified food starch is also a vague term which does not indicate the source of the starch (wheat or corn). Any and all questions and/or concerns about a product should be directed to the manufacturer, including the possibility of cross contamination. This website cannot guarantee that the list of foods are gluten and  casein free. The products listed on this website are to be used as a guide only.  Further verification may be needed due  to questionable ingredients or cross contamination concerns. If anyone has reason to believe that the manufacturing process and or ingredients have changed in the following products and should be either included or deleted, please write to us at products@gfcfdiet.com  The following food and additives are products of the U.S.A. All labels must be  read all of the time as manufacturers are known to change labels without Internet Discussion Forum GFCFKids The principle aim of this list is to provide a discussion forum for parents of children on the autism spectrum who are avoiding gluten and casein and other substances in their children's diets.

Appropriate topics for discussion on the list include anything at all related to diet and autism spectrum disorders -including GFCF but also yeast, nitrates/nitrites, dyes, vitamins, minerals, supplements, dealing with teachers, friends, schools, outings, siblings, testing, etc. Membership necessary, easy and free to join. Membership now totals more than 12,000 families who have chosen Dietary Intervention as a therapy choice to help improve their child's life!  Dietary intervention may be that one "piece of the puzzle" which will help with your child's recovery from ASD.

Physician List Since its establishment in 1967, the Autism Research Institute has had as a major priority the tracking of promising treatments for autism. We do not subscribe to conventional medicine's strategy of simply trying "the drug of the month." Autism is not caused by a deficiency of Ritalin or Haldol. Intensive study of the scientific literature, and analysis of case reports from thousands of parents of autistic children convinced us that there is much that can be done NOW to help many of these children.

Information covered includes all that you need to know about E Numbers and their safety. From what E Numbers to avoid to those that are safer, this site tells all. Publication of this website was due to the concern that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject. The features and articles are written by professional journalists and experts - who have a particular interest, or a background in this area. http://www.exploreenumbers.co.uk/ Magazine Living Without  Magazine www.livingwithout.com  Magazine's primary aim is to support and educate readers with allergies and food and/or chemical sensitivities. This is the magazine you turn to after your diagnosis - after the doctor sends you home with a couple of pamphlets and a pat on the back. It's no mystery that people with special diet and lifestyle restrictions, particularly those who suffer from severe allergies and intolerances, often feel unsupported and misrepresented. Many are embarrassed to ask for special consideration. We understand about all that. We know that asking the waiter about ingredients on the menu is not whining - it's survival.  Living Without wants you to know that a life with allergies, intolerances and sensitivities can be a vibrant, healthy and happy life. We want you to use this magazine to open the door to living abundantly with your special needs. This magazine isn't about minimizing the challenges of living with allergies and intolerances... it's about presenting the important truth of how good life can be, living without. - Publisher: Peggy A.
