notes on basic research on dopamine, B6, C, and mercury
This is a post wherein I ramble about dopamine, vitamins B6 and C, and mercury toxicity.

This site on autism has this to say with respect to keeping an autistic child on a GFCF (gluten-free casein-free) diet:
Bernie Windham has written a paper that describes how mercury interferes with the enzyme that is needed to digest gluten and casein. Many people who are mercury toxic are sensitive to food that are high in sulfur, which includes all dairy products. Regarding yeast: Mercury causes damage to the immune system, and a weakened immune system allows yeast, bacteria and and all sorts of other nasties to proliferate in the body. Yeast overgrowth can cause "leaky gut"-a condition in which the lining of the intestine becomes somewhat porous, allowing undigested particles to enter the bloodstream, causing allergic reactions. Mercury toxic individuals often suffer from food allergies. Therefore, a GFCF (gluten and casein-free) diet is probably a good idea before and during chelation. Theoretically, once the mercury is removed, the immune system is restored, and the gut is allowed to heal (this may require antibiotics and/or anti-fungals), the child may be able eat "regular" foods again.
This follows with what you were saying. I found another bit of info that seems to contradict this. It's lengthy, so it'll have to go in another comment.
