GFCF Diet (Gluten-Free Casein-Free Diet)

The GFCF Diet, or Gluten-Free Casein-Free Diet, involves removing gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) and casein (a protein in dairy products) from the diet. It is often used as part of behavioral and nutritional strategies for individuals with autism or sensitivities, based on the idea that these proteins may affect some people's neurological function or digestion. The diet emphasizes replacing gluten and casein-containing foods with alternatives like gluten-free grains and non-dairy options, aiming to promote better health, behavior, or digestive comfort. It’s important to follow such a diet under medical supervision to ensure nutritional balance.
