Answer 2

Not everyone can benefit from eating Gluten Free foods. If u do not have Celiacs, a genetic predisposition for it, Gluten intolerance, or an allergy (or autism) it is not a good idea to do teh GF diet bc it lacks many fibers and needed nutrients that are hard to substitute. In other words, if u dont have to, why would you?
For autism, its not really exactly known WHY it works, I think the theory is there is a slight connection between gluten intolerance and autism. In other words, by going GF, it sort of helps de-gunk the autistic child's brain. But really none of it has been scientifically proven, but i figure if parents see improvemtn,t hen that's good enough. I personaly think there's a connection between gluten and autism. I can name hundreds of Celiac's who have "brain fog" and other neurological symptoms when they were eating gluten.
But science is far far behind. We barely have any funding for autism research yet billions for AIDS. Nuff said.
