Overview Autism Diets
Common Autism DietsDiet Remove Objectives
Feingold Artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, salicylates
Remove inflammatory foods
Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free Gluten & Dairy Remove inflammatory foods
Gluten Look-Alikes Corn, Oats, Soy, and Yeast Remove inflammatory foods
SCD & GAPS Foods that feed pathogens & disrupt microbiome
Heal the gut & immune system,and improve detoxification
Ketogenic Most carbsEat moderate protein, high fat
Create ketones which are nourishing for the brain
SCD/GAPS Foods are Amazing!

Carbohydrates
SCD/GAPS – 3 Types of CarbohydratesMonosaccharide
◦ Non-starchy vegetables, fruits, nuts
Disaccharide – Sugars◦ Sugars – table sugar, agave, maple, etc.
◦ Lactose -- Unfermented dairy – milk, commercial yoghurt
◦ Maltose – Certain sweeteners
Polysaccharide – Starches ◦ Grains – wheat, barley, rice, quinoa, etc.
◦ Some beans – soy beans, chick peas, etc.

(Toxins)
Toxins Created by Inflammatory Foodsper Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
Gluteomorphin – gluten is converted into morphine-like substance
Casomorphins – dairy is converted into morphine-like substance
Importance of a Starving Bacteria that Create Inflammation
The fact that the GFCF diet gained such a world-wide acceptance as the diet for autism is very unfortunate, because it addresses only a small part of the whole picture of autism: the gluteomorphins and casomorphins. As it happened commercial companies jumped on the bandwagon, ready to supply GFCF pre-prepared foods, full of sugar, processed carbohydrates, denatured and altered fats and proteins, and many other substances, which autistic children must not have…
… There is no doubt that gluten and casein are better out of the diet of an autistic child. But these two substances are by no means the one and only decisive key to autism, schizophrenia and other GAPS conditions. The core issue which we have to deal with, is the unhealthy gut ruled by abnormal microbes. An appropriate diet (GAPS/SCD) is an absolutely essential part of the treatment.
◦ Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome, page 72 of 2010 edition
Toxins Created by Inflammatory Foodsper Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
Gluteomorphin – gluten is converted into morphine-like substance
Casomorphins – dairy is converted into morphine-like substance
Alcohol – sweet and starchy foods create alcohol
Acetaldehyde – created by alcohol in liver (hang over)
Dermorphin and deltorphin – believed fungus that creates these is in GI track
Clostridia – bacteria that create a toxins that inhibit enzymes in the brain and disrupt dopamine

Difference Between SCD & GAPS
Difference in SCD and GAPS DietsSCD
SCD is the core diet of both diets
SCD allows fermented food and broth
SCD allows juice that is not-from-concentrate
SCD early introductory diet allows juice, fruit, and honey
GAPS
GAPS is a protocol built around SCD
GAPS encourages fermented food and broth
GAPS requires fresh-pressed juice
GAPS early introductory diet eliminates all sweet food (yeast)
Core Similarities and Differences in SCD and GAPSAllowed foods are virtually the same
◦ Certain dairy is optional on both
GAPS Healing Protocol◦ Focus on ferments and broth (gelatin too)
◦ Use of fresh pressed juice & other detox strategies
◦ Keeps honey, fruits and juice to a minimum
◦ Supplements
Steps in Introductory Diet
The Introductory Diets
Introductory DietsElimination Diets
Start with basic, most easy to digest foods
Slowly add new foods and watch for reactions (2-4 days)
Purpose of Introductory DietsGive the digestive system a rest
Allow gut to heal
Kill pathogenic bacteria
Elimination Diet: Determine foods that are tolerated
Broaden foods child will eat
Faster relief of symptoms
Introductory Foods are Delicious

Comparison of GAPS/SCD Introductory Diets
Introductory Stages ComparisonSCD
StageFoods Introduced GAPS
StageFoods Introduced
Intro Soups, all grilled/roasted meats, carrots, juice(Jell-o, popsicles)
1 Soups, yoghurt (if tolerated), many allowed boiledvegetables, boiled meats, juice of fermented foods
1 Certain cooked vegetables, pear/applesauce,banana, and certain nut milks
2 Egg yolk, homemade ghee, fresh herbs
2 Certain cooked vegetables, other cooked fruits, certain nut butters and additional nut milks
3 Avocado, almond flour, fermented vegetables
3 Remaining legal vegetables, bacon, most fruits cooked
4 Grilled/roasted meats, carrot juice, dried herbs, nut flour
4 Nut pieces, some beans, raw fruits andvegetables
5 Raw lettuce/cucumbers, cooked apples, some fruits juiced, additional nut flours
5 Whole nuts, all allowed beans 6 More fruits, nuts, raw vegetables, honey
GAPS Pros and ConsPros Cons
• Stricter introductory may lead to faster symptom relief and reduce yeast
• Fermented foods are very healing for some people
• Fresh pressed juice is delicious and detoxifying
• No fruit or juice until stage 5
• Some people are very sensitive to glutamine found in fermented foods
• Fresh pressed juice takes work
SCD Pros and ConsPros Cons
• Introductory diet allows juice in 1st stage and fruit in 2nd stage making transition easier for children
• Ferments and broth are not a focus so there is less risk of glutamine reaction (watch gelatin too)
• Easier intro diet simplifies process
• Store bought juice is easier
• Juice and fruit feed yeast and are ideally left out of the diet or kept to a minimum
• Ferments and broth are very healing for some people
• Easier intro may not get maximum benefit
• Fresh pressed juice is delicious and detoxifying
