Autism, Gut Issues Linked

[ChampsMom]

I found this really interesting as a Mom who has both an IBDer (who has a VERY mild case of Asperger's - some social cues, OCD issues) and another on the Autism Spectrum PDD-NOS...

Thought I share.

Champsmom, you may find the book Gut & Psychology Syndrome interesting. The author maintains diet is linked to diseases like autism and many who also have IBD have found success on the same diet. It is similar to the Paleo and SCD diet with its own variations and restrictions. It is a hard diet to follow but one I believe in and would like to try if I wasn't struggling to keep my weight and appetite up.

I will check it out! I have another book that talks about food and the link to illnesses, behavior, etc., can't think of the name of it of the top of my head, but will go looking and post it.

Thanks for sharing!

Great recipes for gaps diet. We don't do diet completely, but I do incorporate some of these recipes into my plans. The Coconut flour blueberry muffins....:dance:
