Casein, which is found in milk, breaks down in the stomach to produce a peptide known as casomorphine. The peptide casomorphine has "morphin"-like or opiod properties. Similar opiod called "Glutemorphins" are formed in the stomach when these children digest gluten. Scientific studies have successfully revealed that these children experience inflammation in the gut caused by gluten, casein, soy, and other foods.
