Autism is a disorder that doesn't have a effective way of cure, even though can b treated with different methods on case basis. One of the ways you can keep symptoms of Autism under control is by studying the diet. Parents of Autistic children have reported that diet control plays significant role in child's behavior. Two of the major dietary concerns are Glutton and Casein.
Glutton is a substance found in main food products like Wheat, Rye and Oats. Casein in found in dairy products like Milk. If your autistic child consumes these foods like breads or cheese, you can better control the autistic behaviors by decreasing consumption of such foods.
Impacts of these Foods:
The difficulty in digesting both Glutton and Casein comes from an inability to digestively handle the peptides present in these substances. Since they are not broken down as in a normal human body, these extra peptides are absorbed into the blood stream. These Elevated levels of peptides disrupt major brain functions, contributing to the effects of autism. By cutting down on these products in child's diet, you can help the body with the process of breaking down the peptides present in the body. To see if your child has high absorption rate of these peptides, your doctor can do a simple urine test.
Things to Remember:
- Consult your doctor before making any major changes to your diet.
- Do not try to cut down Glutton and Casein all at once.
- Slowly begin reducing amounts of bread, grains and milk products.
- Dietary Supplements need to be taken to get nutrients replacing Glutton and Casein.
- Maintain a Balanced Diet.
- Eat a very healthy diet.
