GF/CF helps in early stages of recovery

A lot of parents find the GF/CF diet helps in the early stages of recovery, as it reduces behaviors. Long term we find that after you heal the gut it is no longer necessary. There is a book that describes healing the gut with herbs that I liked very much it's He's Not Autistic But...: How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss by Tenna Merchent. Although he wasn't GF/CF, because he wasn't allergic to wheat, she did have him on a very restrictive diet during his illness because he was allergic to milk, corn, soy, oats and several other things. With energy medicine and herbs she was able to completely recover her son.
