The Autism Diet is used to control the behaviors of children with autism. It consists of a diet free of wheat, milk and other dairy products and is termed the gluten-free or casein-free diet (GFCF Diet). The autism diet is based on the opiate theory. Children with autism cannot properly digest gluten and casein. The undigested wheat and dairy products turn into opioid proteins which causes the unwanted behavioral changes. Therefore, eliminating gluten and casein in the diet will result in positive behavioral changes in subjects.
