While there are plenty of anecdotal stories of dramatic improvement, there is also no shortage of research proving it’s efficacy.

Whenever I refer to the GFCF diet, I am actually meaning the gluten free, casein free, and soy free diet(technically called the GFCFSF Diet). I am using GFCF because it is a more commonly used and better known acronym.
I am always referring to the GFCFSF diet when talking about the GFCF diet.
