'Food intolerances and food sensitivities are beginning to receive much attention as possible contributors to autistic behaviour. Many families have observed dramatic changes after removing certain food items from their children's diet. Researchers have recently detected the presence of abnormal peptides in the urine of autistic individuals. It is thought that these peptides may be due to the body's inability to breakdown certain proteins (gluten (eg wheat, barley, oats) and casein (found in human and cow's milk)) into amino acids. Some parents have removed these substances from their children's diets and have, in many cases, observed dramatic, positive changes in health and behaviour.'
