Great show with Anjellica joining us again to share her experience with specifics of a Gluten-free, Casein-free, Soy-free, Sugar-free diet  and various supplements that worked for her son.

Keep in mind that any information from the show or from this blog is strictly for informational purposes; it is NOT medical advice.  Use this information as a starting point (or continuation point) for your own research.   You are your own best health advocate.

During the show, Anjellica shared several resources that she finds very useful:

A couple of websites:
Kirkman Labs - source of numerous supplements of all sorts
Swanson - source of numerous supplements

A couple of books:
Children with Starving Brains, by Dr. McAndless
Changing the Course of Autism, by Dr. Jepson
Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD, by Dr. William Shaw (Warning:  this book is highly technical and detailed, written primarily for doctors)

Some advice:
1)  Tap in to message boards and forums online where you'll find veteran moms with expert advice.
2)  Learn the synonyms for gluten, casein, and soy so you can learn to identify ingredients which might not be identified as allergens.  Some examples:  wheat, semolina, camut, barley, barley malt, modified food starch
3)  Check carefully but don't obsess.
4)  Use the internet to read, read, read!
