Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hello all I'm the mother of a 3 year old boy with autism. We have been using a gluten and casein-free diet with great success -- it has really lessened the severity of my son's symptoms. However, due to ongoing food sensitivites, he is now also soy-free, egg-free, peanut-free and citrus-free. I am also trying to use low/no sugar (esp. refined). Even that wouldn't be too hard, but like many children with autism, he has some very strong ideas about what is edible and what isn't... so most vegetables and meats are verboten too. I am trying to do my best to make sure he gets enough protein by using nut flours/butters and hemp hearts as well as pea and rice protein powders. Most of these things have to be hidden in baking like muffins or quick breads or cookies. If someone could direct me to some suitable recipes I would be so grateful. (I'll continue to look through your fabulous recipe files, too!) many thanks Rene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
