It is absolutely essential that you feed your body a steady stream of

probiotics. To quote an article, " If you're a wheat farmer and you want to

prevent weeds from growing, plant the wheat thick! " (i.e. the gut needs to be

overcrowded with the good gut bugs,to prevent the harmful pathogens from taking

over. ).

Fortunately most of the autistic children on our lists can tolerate goat

yogurt,even the children who get very sick with cow milk.Why is that so? The

casein in goat milk is different from the casein in cow milk.Also the process of

making of making the 24 hour SCD yogurt changes the molecular structure of the

casein and renders it harmless.

Are we defying Bernard Rimland the man who created DAN and endorses GFCF if we

feed our kids goat milk yogurt?

I just reread " Special Diets for Special Kids " ,the official book about

GFCF. " Special Diets for Special Kids " was written by and has a

foreword by Bernard Rimland .

In the foreword Rimland specifically mentions cow milk [rather than other types

of dairy] as causing autism.In that book he cites the two examples that

convinced him that cow milk was detrimental for ASD. The first example is about

an American family who moved to a remote part of Northern Canada where only

reindeer milk was available;their autistic daughter greatly improved .When they

went back to the USA,the daughter's severe autism returned.To quote Rimland: "

The answer :the autistic girl could tolerate reindeer milk but not COW's milk! "

This example shows that Rimland believes that reindeer milk might be OK for some

of our kids. The casein in reindeer milk is different than the casein in cow

milk.The casein in goat milk is also different from the casein in cow milk,it is

more easily digested by humans(See the other information just posted in this

website).

At the time that GFCF was formulated as a treatment for Autism there was no

research on the effects of non-cow dairy products on autism . Since so few kids

in the US drink reindeer or goat milk no one payed attention to that matter.

By eating goat milk yogurt we are not contradicting Rimland,since Rimland writes

that other animals' milk is OK for some kids with autism.
