jenny mccarthy and jim carrey had an autistic child and cured it via gluten-free diet?!?!

-- Edward III, Thursday, 3 April 2008 04:15 (1 week ago) Bookmark Link

Did they actually claim that gluten/casein free diet CURED their kids autism? Wow, if so. It doesn't, believe me, though in our case it made a big, big difference to the kids concentration, manner etc. Def worthwhile for anyone with an autistic kid, but claiming it as a cure is bullshit.

Pashmina, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 09:29 (sixteen years ago) link

does my friend who is allergic to gluten (makes her "feel crazy") just have aspie-itus

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 13:37 (sixteen years ago) link

I doubt it, I know a couple of people who are gluten-intolerant, but not at all aspie/autistic.

We were a bit sceptical w/our kid on the gluten/casein elimination diet at first, there's loads of snake oil type stuff to do with autism out there, but it def had an effect, when we started he was mostly non-verbal, all he ever did was run up and down the stairs, trying to communicate with him was like trying to see something through shifting fog, now he can read, can concentrate on shit, and trying to get him to shut up about dr who and daleks is the only problem we have. He's still a weird kid, a misfit, and he's still autistic, but shit man, putting him on that diet is the best thing we ever did in either of our lives.

Pashmina, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 13:49 (sixteen years ago) link

that's awesome pash. larry king should've interviewed *you* instead of batshit jenny mccarthy.

my wife's a nutrition major and she's very into the gluten-free approach. seems like more people are getting diagnosed with celiac disease (gluten intolerance) nowadays, lots of restaurants with gluten-free menus, lots of research, etc.

Edward III, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Did anyone else notice there was some sort of autism benefit on comedy central earlier this week? I somehow saw the first couple minutes and was trying to figure out why all these celebrities were doing some sort of horrible song and dance thing, and it turned out to be for... autism?

mh, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link

so does the idea of a gluten / casein & autism connection come from trying to find an explanation for the rise in autism rates?

Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 16:20 (sixteen years ago) link

i have a srsly srsly aspie cousin. he's in sixth grade, pretty chunky (too much gluten & casein?), doesn't make eye contact with most people at most times, often totally ignores people when they talk to him (and not just strangers either, i see him once a week and he treats me this way). just generally seems completely tuned out.

is mcdonald's gluten free? because that's all he'll eat.

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 16:24 (sixteen years ago) link

my autistic half-brother also used to only eat mcdonald's. i think because it was so familiar/predictable and autistic ppl are driven by routine.

get bent, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 16:28 (sixteen years ago) link

hell, most people are driven by routine! i eat the same breakfast every day, cook the same half-dozen meals each week, eat at less than 10 restaurants, will only drink one kind of coffee, etc etc
