The Why’s and How’s of the GFCF Diet
Chances are, you’ve heard about gluten-free/casein-free diet to treat your child’s autism. You’ve probably wondered just what are gluten and casein, how do they potentially affect your child, and how do you eliminate them from what your child eats and still provide a balanced diet?
Stephanie Mauck, M.Ed will present how to implement the gluten/casein-free diet and why your child may be a responder (some reports have indicated that 80% of kids on the spectrum respond in a positive way).
Stephanie will share the background of the diet and provide a 90 day trial plan to see if it may help your child. Recipes, food lists as well as other resources will be shared.
Samples will also be served - there are many tasty GF/CF foods available to make or purchase.
Stephanie lives with her husband, Tim and her children, Robbie, 16, and Julia, 10, in Waukesha. Stephanie is an educational consultant with a background in teaching, and is currently working as a health educator at A.R.C.H. (Autism Recovery and Comprehensive Health) Center in Franklin. Robbie started the diet over 12 years ago. Also, in the past year, Stephanie and her daughter Julia have started the diet to help address food allergies, and report feeling much better as a result.
This free Parenting Series session will be held on Saturday, November 14th, 9:30-11:30 a.m. in the D-Wing Library of Nicolet High School, Glendale (Off of I43, just south of the Good Hope Exit).
