A small study finds that gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet does not help children with autism to talk better.
This double-blind controlled study looked to see if the GFCF diet helped children with autism with their speech. Most of the children in the study were verbal. The authors found that the GFCF diet did not help speech in the 13 children (aged 2-16) tested. The authors cautioned that the study was small and short (6 weeks on the diet) and therefore does not mean that the diet intervention does not help children with autism. The authors believe that future studies should include more children and last longer.
