After last week’s post about the connection between ADHD and food, a reader emailed me a link to a FoxNews clip about a young girl experiencing a dramatic improvement in her autism in just one year (video below). What did her family change? Her diet, of course. But it’s not just any old Real Food diet. It’s a diet specifically designed to heal the gut from dysbiosis.
Autism and Your Gut
You hear and read a lot these days about the possible connections between childhood vaccines and the soaring rates of autism and autism spectrum disorders. But Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride (author of the Gut and Psychology Syndrome) and Donna Gates (author of The Body Ecology Diet) both have a different story to tell.
In the video below, they join forces to discuss what they feel is a major contributing factor to autism: poor digestion, particularly in relation to developing a healthy balance of gut flora.
