Has anyone had difficulty with concentration before the gluten free diet? Anyone have difficulty following such a diet? Anyone that has had some difficulty with attention to detail as a result of not following the diet?

Welcome to WP!

hey welcome what a coincidense i acctualy trying to follow that exact diet to its calld brain fog and it has something to do with those goddamnt gluten >=(
anyway im very courius to about that question
ps:this forum can be helpfull http://www.glutenfreeforum.com/index.php?act=idx
(its acctualy a whole website with forum and all+you can buy non-gluten prudects there to)

Yes, I do think that it affects just as many non-autistic people as autistic people, but they're better able to assess their head fog issue and resolve it, while we might be hypo-sensitive to it until it affects us in other ways.

Besides, my favorite dish is pasta. And boy, do I love those cookies!

MAYBE it was a coincidence, but while I severely curtailed gluten, I lost weight, had more energy, and could think clearer. I really think I AM autistic(AS). Lately, I am looking at all my little quirks, and I am surprised nobody even mentioned it.(I will go into a store, for example, pause a moment, and dart around all the people in an odd fashion. I look down, so people don't think I am looking, but I am more aware than they are. I anticipate the entire isle, and head back to purchase the goods. It LOOKS like I have no real plan but, if you look at what I get, I certainly do.) Still, I often DO seem normal.

BTW LATELY I have a REAL energy problem, and am pushing my memory a lot, so even a SUBTLE change that nobody else will notice is obvious to me. The Gluten deal CAN be subtle. STILL, when you start making long strides that USED to be a problem, but now seem like nothing, you remember things that are somewhat unusual without trying, and can sit down for a few hours , at a boring lecture, doing nothing and still be able to repeat any of the presented ideas, it certainly can be obvious to the person on the diet.

WHOA how come i did not know of this?.... what is glutten, where do you find it, and how do you avoid it, and does it really help you concentrate??? these are things i would love to know

if your stumach hurts after eating most things than you are alergic to gluten many people think the diet is so much worth it the bad thing is you gain weight of it (wich pretty much doesnt makes sense)+lots of foods to say goodbye to and gluten decreases your consentrations(thats what im planning to get off me) if your stumach doesnt hurt when eating stuff wich contains gluten then your the happy'est aspie in the world
