Dietary Information:
We have tried many different diets with the hope of improving our children’s chronic conditions and Jodi’s fibromyalgia as well. There have been benefits from all of the diets, but we are convinced that the most important dietary advice you can follow is to eat an organic diet abundant in fruits and vegetables. The more raw foods the better!

We would like to give you some tips on eating an organic diet, and also share our knowledge on a few of the most popular diets for autism. Many children have been helped greatly by following a gluten free and casein free diet. We have had our children on and off of this particular diet for years. However, we always keep them casein free because milk just isn’t good for anyone, despite what the dairy industry would have you believe.

There are many other fad diets for autism out there. While some of them have really been helpful to certain children, none of them will “cure” autism on their own since autism is related to vaccine damage. You have to pick and choose and use what works the best for your children. You will need to take food allergies and sensitivities into account, as well as if your child has a seizure disorder or another related condition. All of these things will obviously influence the foods that you feed your child.

The biggest problem that we have encountered is the vast amount of conflicting opinions out there related to food. After studying numerous philosophies, we have come to the conclusion that there are a few key things of utmost importance when trying to heal and illness and get healthy. The rest is simply up to you! The most important things that we have discovered are:

• Eat Organic Foods
• Change Your Body’s PH
• Eat as Many Raw Foods as Possible
• Eliminate Dairy From Your Diet
• Eliminate ALL Artificial Sweeteners
• Eliminate Foods with MSG
• Eliminate All Foods That You Are Allergic or Sensitive To

There are so many helpful books and websites dedicated to eating right. We cannot possibly cover everything that you need to know here, but this is a good start. Just do a search on any of the above topics and you will invariably be flooded with information related to them.

Below you will find some helpful tips on the autism diets that we find to be the most helpful. It isn’t easy to make a dietary change especially when your child already has a self-limited diet. However, we do believe it is worth a try, particularly if your child experiences chronic diarrhea or has other gut issues. It can be beneficial while on your road to healing.

• Following the Gluten Free Casein Free Diet
• Introduction to the Feingold Diet
• Eating a Raw Diet

We wish you well on your journey to feed your family healthy healing foods. God Bless You!
