Food
It is necessary to say autism doesn’t occur due to food habit. According to the
statistics of science some proteins are not digested due to the lacking of the
competency of immune system of human body who are affected by autism.
Normally protein is turned into amino acid if it will be digested properly.
But it may be broken into peptide who are affected by autism, it can not go at the
end of amino acid. Theses peptide create their behavioural problems, increase
hyperactivity, forms destructive behavior, reduce sleeping etc. These created
peptide are made in those food where the gluten and casine are included. Let's to
know which are the food of gluten and casein. The food of atta &
flour,burley,wheat, rai,milk and the food of milk,the food of cholesterol, testy salt
etc.
Many of the food may be restricted, So let's to know which will be benefited.
Wheat, burley,rai,yeasts, the ruti of wheat,bread,cake,biscuits, chips,noodles etc,
instead of these it will be given rice,the ruti of rice,chira,muri,corn,the others food
of rice and corn,potato, nut,popcorn instead of chips,rice noodles instead of
noodles. Instead of the food of milk, the milk of rice and coconut, the milk of
almonds, egg will be given. Instead of the excessive of carbohydrate, sugar
included food, chocolates, cold drinks, the food of diabetes can be given.
Children with autism may limit their food intake or have food preferences. They
may also break down fat differently. As a result, autistic children are sometimes
low in certain nutrients. Some of these nutrients have been studied to see if
giving children supplements of these nutrients may help with autism symptoms.
However, more research is needed. Before giving your child any of the following
supplements, speak with your child’s physician or a dietitian first. Vitamins and
Minerals Multivitamins: Some results have shown a multivitamin may help
improve sleep and digestive problems in autistic children. Note that a
multivitamin with iron may cause some digestive problems.
Giving your child a multivitamin is not harmful and may be helpful, especially if
your child is not eating a balanced diet. Iron: Children with autism are often lxow
in iron, usually because many are picky eaters. Ask your child's doctor to check
iron levels regularly. Do not give an iron supplement unless your child’s iron level
has been confirmed as low by a health care provider. An iron supplement may
help bring iron levels back to normal. Vitamin B6 and magnesium: Vitamin B6 and
magnesium supplements have been linked to improving behavior in autistic
children.
However, the research is not strong and more research is needed before these
supplements are recommended for autistic children. Omega-3 Fats Some research
has shown that many children with autism have low levels of omega-3 fats.
Omega-3 supplements may help with hyperactivity in autistic children. However,
more research is needed before omega-3 supplements can be recommended for
children with autism.
The Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet is a diet free
of gluten and casein. Gluten is the main protein in wheat and other grains such as
rye, barley, triticale, kamut and spelt. Casein is the main protein in dairy products
such as cow’s milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream. This diet may be recommended
to help improve behavior in autistic children. Some children with autism have a
short term decrease in autistic behaviors when following this diet.
However, the research is limited and more research is needed before this diet is
recommended for autistic children.
2. Detoxification
Many children on the spectrum have increased toxic burden due to various
reasons including reduced metabolic function, mitochondrial dysfunction, high
oxidative stress and methylation issues. King’s Hair Element Test showed he had
high levels of antimony, aluminum, arsenic, barium, mercury, uranium, tin and
titanium. Another toxin to watch out for is glyphosate, which is the active
ingredient in Round Up and used on crops. Glyphosate can’t be washed off and
contaminates most packaged food. Another reason to always buy Non-GMO and
organic.
Our first step for detox was to remove all household and personal care products
that were not natural and contained chemicals and toxins. This included
everything from lotion, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent and items you may
breathe in that contain synthetic fragrances. A good APP to use to see if your
products are toxic is the Think Dirty APP.
We started to support his liver with BioRay Liver Life and started nightly epsom
salt baths. We saw a lot of gains with the baths. His behavior improved, and he
started to sleep much better as well. We started with ¼ cup in bath and worked
our way up to 2 cups every night. We also started using BioRay Kids products,
which included chlorella, that help remove toxins. Our next step in detoxification
will be low-dose oral chelation to remove heavy metals.
3. Probiotics
Healthy bacterial activity in the gut has been connected to healthy brain function
and we definitely saw improvements in speech and behavior when we
added probiotics. There are specific strains which are good to increase speech.
We started using L-Reuteri and saw an increase in speech almost immediately.
Most recently, we started using Seeking Health ProBiota HistaminX, because I
noticed behavioral issues that started in spring and realized it was due to
allergies. Since I started this probiotic, which helps support the gut’s healthy
response to ingested histamine, his behavior issues have completely
disappeared? Switching up what probiotics you use helps keep a good balance of
healthy gut bacteria.
5-HTP
5-HTP helps increase serotonin levels. Low serotonin can cause depression,
anxiety, OCD behavior, anger, insomnia and more. It should not be taken for long
periods of time, so we usually only use it when we see symptoms and taper off
when we see improvements.
When King was first diagnosed, he was very aggressive towards me. He would
constantly hit me and pull my hair, especially during meltdowns, which happened
numerous times at day. Once we started 5-HTP, the aggressive behavior went
away. A nice bonus is that it also helps with sleep issues.
Above all, what I want parents of kids newly diagnosed with autism to know is
that there is hope. If your child does not fully recover with these biomedical
interventions, these can reduce or eliminate autism symptoms and give your child
an overall healthier life.
