- Roboprog 14y agoand for our newbies to autism spectrum jargon out there: GFCF = gluten free, casein free (no wheat, no dairy, nor things derived from those proteins)
- jseliger 14y agoInteresting. Have people started offering cookbooks, recipe guides, and so forth, predicated on these principles? No gluten, wheat, and dairy would knock out quite a bit of my diet.
- newobj 14y agoThe diet ends up being pretty close to paleo. Other things that are commonly cut are soy and eggs. And no meat that is grain fed, so that mainly leaves grass fed beef, game, lamb, etc. It can be a real pain in the f'in ass but once on the diet I've felt and looked the best I have in years. (I forgot to mention, in addition to being diagnosed with the 677T mutation I also found out that I had severe IgG food sensitivities to gluten, oats, dairy, soy, all eggs, all fowl meat, almonds, peanuts, cranberries... shudder to think the 10 years I spent being vegan eating tofu and seitan full-time...)
- Roboprog 14y agoyeah, I used to jokingly call this the "pseudo-Atkins" diet, but of course, you can have a potato, or some brown rice once in a while. Glad the diet and vitamins are working well for your family. We need to get our daughter back on a more restrictive diet, I think.

- jseliger 14y agoThanks! Ordered.
- newobj 14y agoL-5 Methyltetrahydrofolate
- Roboprog 14y agoAh, a variant of folate / folic acid / folinic acid sort of thing. Thanks.
