Thanks to Jenny McCarthy and Oprah, there has been much media coverage on the link between diet and the symptoms of Autism.   Wisconsin mom, Margie Reichwald, has developed a cookbook for children who have Autism with recipes that are gluten, casein (dairy) and soy free and that have helped her son tremendously!  Here is a link to Margie's inspiring segment on the Morning Blend.  Margie says, "While my son is not cured of Autism, a cloud has lifted and he is on the path to recovery.  His journey with Autism is a lot less of a struggle since we removed the allergens from his diet."  I got a lump in my throat when Margie talked about the first time her son touched her cheek lovingly and said, "Mommy".  Anything with the potential to ease the struggles of a child with a disability is welcome in my book!  Thank you Margie!   Click HERE for information on Margie's cookbook, "Autism: A Path to Recovery - A tried and True Gluten/Casein/Soy Free Cookbook".
