One condition with a controversial connection to gluten intolerance is Autism. Many people feel a gluten-free, sugar-free, casein-free diet (often abbreviated as GFCS diet) helps reduce the manifestations of autism or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). Some people strongly believe autism itself should be counted among the many signs of gluten intolerance.

If you are uncertain if you have problems with gluten, try this experiment: eat nothing with gluten for 30 or more days. That will give you your answer.
