Join us on Day 6 of the 21 Day Challenge with a Naturopathic Nutritionist, focusing on a gluten and casein free diet for better health.
Exploring the Benefits of Eliminating Gluten and Casein for Optimal Health
In the journey of supporting a child with autism, many parents wonder why they should adopt a gluten-free and casein-free (GFCF) diet themselves, especially when they do not have autism. The answer lies in the crucial role that a family-wide commitment plays in the success of a child’s dietary changes. Cross-contamination in shared kitchen environments can significantly affect a child’s progress, often stemming from everyday kitchen items such as toasters and cutting boards that may inadvertently harbor gluten. These minor oversights can have profound implications for a child’s detoxification and recovery, underscoring the importance of creating a fully gluten-free environment.
Real-life examples illustrate how hidden sources of gluten can persistently hinder a child’s healing process, leading to ongoing cravings and setbacks. Parents who fully embrace this lifestyle often report unexpected health benefits themselves, suggesting that a GFCF diet can positively impact the entire family unit. It’s essential to acknowledge that this journey is not merely about dietary restrictions; it’s about fostering a supportive and health-conscious home that enhances the well-being of all family members while prioritizing the child’s recovery and long-term progress.
Unlocking Wellness: Embrace the Power of a Gluten and Casein-Free Journey!
why why do you want to cause unnecessary pain and drama in my life why should I be on the glutenfree diet I I don’t have autism why do you want me to to not eat this and that why would I do that why should I complicate my life it’s because I really want you to support your baby the fruit never Falls far from from the.
Tree and that is really the first why but the second why is there is quite a lot of contamination that is going to be happening in the house and if you understand the impact of um of food infractions then you also understand the importance of us safeguarding our children from that from happening every time we introduce gluten to our child we.
Are triggering that reaction to happen it’s the there’s hash zero um no cheating if you haven’t watched that video again please goad head and watch contamination for one day is not going to be one that we’re going to pull our hair from but consistently contaminating your child’s food is going to mean that you’re going to consistently have your.
Child on a gluten diet without you knowing you know I talk about the Premium plan a lot and most of the things that I’m teaching you today they are stemming out from that the lessons that I learned from my clients we we tend to dissect our Lifestyles we tend to dissect what is going on with the child to make sure that our Journeys are.
As successful as they can be and and this is why I call it optimization because we are optimizing everything we are optimizing lifestyle we are optimizing the diet we are optimizing our our one-on ones with our children everything is about what else can we do to to give that child an opportunity to have the.
Best life and cross contamination is is going to happen but if we understand the effects of one food infraction is not going to be the same as consistently having food infractions how is it possible that the child is going to have food infractions consistently if I know my child is on a gluten-free diet this is what I want to share with you today.
It is going to happen more so if your your family is not on this journey with your child okay and I remember with this beautiful little kid he was doing great he was really really doing great but he was not also moving at the pace that we wanted him to move and one give away behavior that he had that I want to share with you was he was.
Constantly intensively craving for bread craving for for gluten containing food intensively and I was like how is it possible that he is still you know craving for these Foods after so much time not being on those Foods there must be a place where he’s having this kind of food you know it’s like a like a drug addict when you stop smoking the first.
Few days are going to be tough because you are craving for it but if you haven’t been smoking for a long time that craving goes away you you stop craving for those the for for the cigarettes or for the drug it just wears off but with this kid he was still constantly I mean throwing big Tantrums meltdowns he was really really really.
Wanting this bread he was really wanting what his other siblings were having and despite being considered gluten-free for a long time so I was like Mom okay let’s talk about breakfast what’s happening in with breakfast and he has his own bread that is glutenfree and he has his own toast in the morning while the others are having the toast and my Alum went.
Bing it really just went Bing and I said do you have two toaster and she says no I have one toaster and I was like there you go he’s not in a gluten-free diet he’s not in a gluten-free diet and she was like what like he’s not on a glutenfree diet all along he’s not being on a gluten pre Ty yes he has his own bread but he doesn’t have his own tost.
That is just one of the ways 50 mg of gluten will trigger the same you know reaction to the body then a person who’s had a LOF so we must be mindful of cross contamination but in this case what makes this case a bigger issue is the everyday contamination this contamination is not happening once it’s happening all the time all the time so.
The child is saying hey it doesn’t make sense that I am not having this thing because I still have gluten in my system so it will take 3 to six months for that child to go through detoxification properly again despite the fact that we initially thought he was he had already done that part this is why I’m saying if we can let’s.
Endeavor to have gluten-free houses because it is easy to contaminate cutting boards will lead to contamination if you’re using the same cutting board you cut your child’s bread and then you cut your you know the regular bread on the same cutting board constant contamination deep fryers if you’re deep frying regular foods and.
Then you deep fry uh regular gluten containing fruits and then you deep fry gluten free containing foods then it is very likely you’re contaminating your child’s food there’s so many other ways that we contam inate our children’s food your challenge today is really go back into your kitchen and and look at those areas of possible cross contamination.
Really look at those areas The Cutting Boards the deep fryers and the torers and what I would really also want you to do go back on your uh on your ebook and look at what is in there where the PO potential areas of of contamination really go back and look at that and see what is possibly happening this this justifies my house being um no gluten.
But it does sound like it’s extreme but I think also if you have been following me now if you Haven listened to the impact of inflammation it requires this this level of of diligence it requires this level of you know Focus attention and commitment if we really want our children to do well then we we have to invest in that and I found that just.
Making my house a gluten-free house has made my life a lot easier anyway I hope this helps let me know uh what type of contamination is happening in your house I I’ll tell you what in my house we it was The Cutting boats it was The Cutting boats it was The Cutting boats that were contaminating in my house let me know what what you have what is contaminating.
In your house that’s your challenge to clear up and to eliminate contamination in your house that that is your challenge of today and to go through your um your ebook again and focus on that area of contamination let’s see if we can reduce the contamination but for now for my heart see yours bye-bye.
