Autism
In July 2009, researchers from the University College of Medicine, Taoyuan, Taiwan published a study, suggesting that patients with autism should considered a wheat gluten-free diet for improvement.
In this study, a 3-year old boy with autism saw significant improvement after only 5.5 months on a wheat-free and casein-free diet. The boy went from begin able to barely move and talk to playing and sharing toys with his sibling and other children, behavior noted to be closer to that of an unaffected child. He also gained weight and grew in height.
