The research that i find the most interesting is linking AUTISM to Celiacs or lactose intolerance
Those with Autism can be aided by a gluten-free, casein-free diet.
Many physicians are prescribing this new diet, as up to 8 in 10 autistic children may benefit greatly.

The "Defeat Autism Now!" Protocol recommends that every autistic child be placed on a gluten-free, casein-free diet for at least 3 months.
Briefly, gluten is a protein, and so is casein. Gluten is a protein fraction found in all wheat, rye, barley, and most oat products. Casein is a protein fraction found in all dairy products. To most Autistic children, gluten and casein are the equivalent of poison. They leak into the gut, undigested, and attach to the opiate receptors of the autistic's brain. Essentially, many autistic children are "drugged" on wheat and milk products, as if they were on a morphine drip.
Although parents have been reporting a connection between autism and diet for decades, there is now a growing body of research that shows that certain foods seem to be affecting the developing brains of some children and causing autistic behaviors. This is not because of allergies, but because many of these children are unable to properly break down certain proteins.
Researchers in England, Norway, and at the University of Florida had previously found peptides (breakdown products of proteins) with opiate activity in the urine of a high percentage of autistic children. Opiates are drugs, like morphine, which affect brain function. These findings have recently been confirmed by researchers at Johnson & Johnson’s Ortho Clinical Diagnostics. The two main offenders seem to be gluten (the protein in wheat, oats, rye and barley) and casein (milk protein.

PERSONALLY I CHOOSE TO LIVE A GLUTEN FREE LIFE :)
THAT IS WHY I STARTED
I DO NOT WANT TO EVER BE DEPRIVED
BUT I ALSO DONT WANT THE DIGESTION PROBLEMS
OR OTHER AMAZING (sarcasm)
THINGS
THAT GLUTEN BRINGS TO THE TABLE
AS TIME GOES BY I CONTINUE TO HEAR ABOUT THE
HEALTH BENEFITS OF A GLUTEN FREE DIET
along with feeling the benefits internally.

What is GFCFSF?
Gluten is more than just wheat – it’s grains like wheat, barley, oats and rye. Casein is the protein found in all things dairy – more specifically, anything juiced from a mammal – including cow’s milk, sheep, goat and human breast milk. Soy needs to be removed too. Labels that say “wheat-free” do not necessarily mean gluten-free and certainly not GFCF. Dairy-free isn’t casein-free. Lactose is milk sugar. Lactose-free isn’t casein-free either. Organic doesn’t mean GFCF. Organic milk still comes from a cow and organic wheat is still wheat. Reading labels and understanding the difference is crucial. Gluten-free also includes things that do not have gluten in them but are either grown near them or processed in a facility with them, contaminating them, such as millet and oats.
