ASD

Gluten/ Free/ Dairy free diet is type of elimination diet , that has shown some promise in treating asd.

Research has shown that eliminating gluten and casein from the diet of ASD patients can reduce symptoms such as behavior problems, hyperactivity, cognitive function and improve digestive issues. One of the theory is that ASD patients have difficulties to digest gluten and casein, which might cause the formation of the peptides (gluteomorphin and caseomorphin) and their absorption into the bloodstream and because of the various digestive issues or leaky gut syndrome. Its important to discuss this diet with your childs health practitioner, so you can find the right solution that will help you to provide for your child the right replacement of the food with important nutrition’s to avoid nutrient deficiencies such is calcium, vitamin D, B Vitamins, folic acid, iron, protein, vitamin A. You should discuss with your health practitioner nutritional supplements in order to compensate for low nutrient and absorption and make sure your child gets all the necessary vitamins/minerals.
