Overview Autism Diets

Common Autism DietsDiet Remove Objectives

Feingold Artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, salicylates

Remove inflammatory foods

Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free Gluten & Dairy Remove inflammatory foods

Gluten Look-Alikes Corn, Oats, Soy, and Yeast Remove inflammatory foods

SCD & GAPS Foods that feed pathogens & disrupt microbiome

Heal the gut & immune system,and improve detoxification

Ketogenic Most carbsEat moderate protein, high fat

Create ketones which are nourishing for the brain

SCD/GAPS Foods are Amazing!

Carbohydrates

SCD/GAPS – 3 Types of CarbohydratesMonosaccharide

◦ Non-starchy vegetables, fruits, nuts

Disaccharide – Sugars◦ Sugars – table sugar, agave, maple, etc.

◦ Lactose -- Unfermented dairy – milk, commercial yoghurt

◦ Maltose – Certain sweeteners

Polysaccharide – Starches ◦ Grains – wheat, barley, rice, quinoa, etc.

(Toxins)

Toxins Created by Inflammatory Foodsper Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride

Gluteomorphin – gluten is converted into morphine-like substance

Casomorphins – dairy is converted into morphine-like substance

Importance of a Starving Bacteria that Create Inflammation

The fact that the GFCF diet gained such a world-wide acceptance as the diet for autism is very unfortunate, because it addresses only a small part of the whole picture of autism: the gluteomorphins and casomorphins. As it happened commercial companies jumped on the bandwagon, ready to supply GFCF pre-prepared foods, full of sugar, processed carbohydrates, denatured and altered fats and proteins, and many other substances, which autistic children must not have…

… There is no doubt that gluten and casein are better out of the diet of an autistic child. But these two substances are by no means the one and only decisive key to autism, schizophrenia and other GAPS conditions. The core issue which we have to deal with, is the unhealthy gut ruled by abnormal microbes. An appropriate diet (GAPS/SCD) is an absolutely essential part of the treatment.

◦ Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome, page 72 of 2010 edition

Toxins Created by Inflammatory Foodsper Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride

Gluteomorphin – gluten is converted into morphine-like substance

Casomorphins – dairy is converted into morphine-like substance

Alcohol – sweet and starchy foods create alcohol

Acetaldehyde – created by alcohol in liver (hang over)

Dermorphin and deltorphin – believed fungus that creates these is in GI track

Clostridia – bacteria that create a toxins that inhibit enzymes in the brain and disrupt dopamine

Difference Between SCD & GAPS

Difference in SCD and GAPS DietsSCD

SCD is the core diet of both diets

SCD allows fermented food and broth

SCD allows juice that is not-from-concentrate

SCD early introductory diet allows juice, fruit, and honey

GAPS

GAPS is a protocol built around SCD

GAPS encourages fermented food and broth

GAPS requires fresh-pressed juice

GAPS early introductory diet eliminates all sweet food (yeast)

Core Similarities and Differences in SCD and GAPSAllowed foods are virtually the same

◦ Certain dairy is optional on both

GAPS Healing Protocol◦ Focus on ferments and broth (gelatin too)

◦ Use of fresh pressed juice & other detox strategies

◦ Keeps honey, fruits and juice to a minimum

◦ Supplements

Steps in Introductory Diet

The Introductory Diets

Introductory DietsElimination Diets

Start with basic, most easy to digest foods

Slowly add new foods and watch for reactions (2-4 days)

Purpose of Introductory DietsGive the digestive system a rest

Allow gut to heal

Kill pathogenic bacteria

Elimination Diet: Determine foods that are tolerated

Broaden foods child will eat

Faster relief of symptoms

Introductory Foods are Delicious

Comparison of GAPS/SCD Introductory Diets

Introductory Stages ComparisonSCD

StageFoods Introduced GAPS

StageFoods Introduced

Intro Soups, all grilled/roasted meats, carrots, juice(Jell-o, popsicles)

1 Soups, yoghurt (if tolerated), many allowed boiledvegetables, boiled meats, juice of fermented foods

1 Certain cooked vegetables, pear/applesauce,banana, and certain nut milks

2 Egg yolk, homemade ghee, fresh herbs

2 Certain cooked vegetables, other cooked fruits, certain nut butters and additional nut milks

3 Avocado, almond flour, fermented vegetables

3 Remaining legal vegetables, bacon, most fruits cooked

4 Grilled/roasted meats, carrot juice, dried herbs, nut flour

4 Nut pieces, some beans, raw fruits andvegetables

5 Raw lettuce/cucumbers, cooked apples, some fruits juiced, additional nut flours

5 Whole nuts, all allowed beans 6 More fruits, nuts, raw vegetables, honey

GAPS Pros and ConsPros Cons

• Stricter introductory may lead to faster symptom relief and reduce yeast

• Fermented foods are very healing for some people

• Fresh pressed juice is delicious and detoxifying

• No fruit or juice until stage 5

• Some people are very sensitive to glutamine found in fermented foods

• Fresh pressed juice takes work

SCD Pros and ConsPros Cons

• Introductory diet allows juice in 1st stage and fruit in 2nd stage making transition easier for children

• Ferments and broth are not a focus so there is less risk of glutamine reaction (watch gelatin too)

• Easier intro diet simplifies process

• Store bought juice is easier

• Juice and fruit feed yeast and are ideally left out of the diet or kept to a minimum

• Ferments and broth are very healing for some people

• Easier intro may not get maximum benefit

• Fresh pressed juice is delicious and detoxifying
