The result shows that 66% from 36 patients with autistic behavior has been improved after being gave milk-free therapy for eight months. Within a period, certain side effects of the diet exists as weight loss, but at the end of third week all the things will be improved.
Eliminating gluten. Means that eliminating protein (prolamin) from type of grains, such as wheats, barley, bulgur and oats. In 1999, Researchers from uk conducted experiments about the reduction of peptide levels in urine, and the result is 26% only in 5 months. Why just a little percentage of the results? This is due to peptide often enter into the body tissues. Peptide the are so many will be stored in fatty tissue. The older age of the child then the more being absorbed, so it is more difficult to dispose of it. Eliminating gluten from diet, does not immediately give the dramatic effect, except in young children. Usually the effect will appear within 3-4 weeks, and the diet should be done at least for 3 months
