From The Editor

Since 1999, this website, www.GFCFDiet.com has been a free resource for any parent who needs support implementing a gluten free - casein free diet ( GFCF Diet ).  It provides a central location for parents to find other parents who are also using Dietary Therapy.  It is the largest free resource of its kind on the Internet, not only providing lists of products to help guide you through the Grocery Stores (ALWAYS READ LABELS!!) but other relevant information which will help every parent learn about Dietary Intervention.

Our website support forum," GFCF Kids " was founded in December 1998 and now has a membership of over 12,000 families! It is free and easy to join.  The principle aim of this list is to provide a discussion forum for parents of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders who are avoiding gluten and casein and other foods or ingredients in their children's diets. 

We are proud to announce over 145 individual support groups in the United States. Check our "Community Bulletin Board "for a listing of local support group meetings. Support is provided in local communities from other parents who are also maintaining a restrictive diet for their children.  We encourage you to tell others about this free resource which we believe will continue to help improve the lives of many children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
