Free & easy to join
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/gfcfkids/
The principle
aim of this list is to
provide a discussion
forum for parents and
caregivers of children
on the autism spectrum
who are avoiding gluten
and casein and other
substances in their
children's diets.
Discussions
include practical
information and tips on
following a GFCF(etc)
diet; scientific
research and opinion;
the latest developments
in understanding
GFCF(etc) diet-related
health problems;
personal stories and
experiences with
relation to GFCF(etc)
problems; information on
what food is
GFCF(etc)and what is
not; tips on how to eat
out of the house;
recipes and tips on how
to cook and prepare
GFCF(etc) food; what
vitamins, minerals,
herbs and other
supplements may be
appropriate for a child
with autism, how to cope
with difficult diet
demands, plus support
for parents and
caregivers. 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.
This group has a
searchable database.
Note: Opinions
expressed on this board
are not always the
opinions endorsed by The
GFCF Diet Support Group.
NO
post on GFCFKids is
to be used as medical
advice.
Support Groups in the
United States
Note:
We have provided
a list of support groups
across the U.S. as a
community service for
those who implement
special diets.
Discussions at group
meetings may not always
reflect
opinions/protocol of
The GFCF Diet Support
Group. These are
volunteer groups who
generally are parents
and not always
medical professionals.

Time: Fourth
Tuesday 7PM-9PM

NO children allowed
at Fourth Tuesday
meetings.
For postings
about future
meetings see
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Mealers
**Children
allowed at Tuesday
meetings only with
the following
caveats:
* There are a few
toys there, but, I
encourage parents to
bring some of their
own.
* The church IS
concerned about
their new floor and
does request that
children not bang
their cars on it…so
please keep that in
mind
when bringing your
toys.
* The church office
is nearby and is
fine as long as the
children's noise
does not interfere
with the office. I
do provide a small
cotton rug
that helps
with noise and
protects the floor.
* We meet next to
the sanctuary and do
not have our own
room. Children need
to be able to stay
close by and not run
in the sanctuary.
