CASEIN/GLUTEN (was Breastfed Infant Gas Help)

[Guest guest]

I was a baby with colic forEVER, and mine was due to dairy intolerance (to

dairy protein: casein). I've seen mentioned on some lists about

casein-complicated or induced autism in our little ones that gluten (wheat/etc

protein) is very similar to casein in its molecular structure - and that

anyone with a reaction to one should try to remove the other, as well, to see

if they are also intolerant to it, too.

 

Has anyone else heard anything about this? I have not removed gluten entirely

from my diet, but I have really cut it back. I've not noticed a difference,

but then, I don't get any health benefits from cutting back on dairy, either

-- until I eliminate every last bit of it from absolutely everything I eat

(even the hidden ingredients in food). So could be the gluten is another

complication I've not learned about yet. Anyone heard of this?
