Dietary Concerns: Glutton and Casein
from: Maxx Family LifeAutism is a disorder that's treated by using a variety of methods since there's no effective way to completely cure it. One way to help keep the symptoms of autism under control is by studying the person's diet. Parents of children with autism have reported that by controlling diet, they've seen a significant difference in their child's behavior. Two of the main dietary concerns are glutton and casein.
Glutton is a substance found in many common food products with wheat, rye and oaks the main culprits. Casein is found in dairy products, such as milk. If you or your child with autism eats a lot of foods with these products including breads or cheeses, you may be able to better control autistic behavior by decreasing consumption.
The difficulty in digesting both glutton and casein comes from an inability to digestively handle the peptides in these substances. Since they're not broken down as in a normal body, these extra peptides are absorbed into the blood stream. Elevated levels of peptides disrupt major brain functions, contributing to the effects of autism.
By reducing or eliminating foods containing glutton and casein from your family's diet, you can help the body with the process of breaking down the peptides present in the body. To determin if you or your child has a high absorption rate of these peptides, your doctor can administer a simple urine test.
However, it's a good idea to consult with a nutritionist or doctor before making any major changes to your diet. If you decide to cut glutton and casein from your diet, don't attempt to do this all at once. Eliminating anything from your diet suddenly is unhealthy, and your body could go into withdrawal. Ratehr, slowly begin reducing the amounts of breads, grains, and milk products until you've eliminated them altogether. Your doctor can provide you with a complete list of all the foods containing glutton and casein if you really want to cut them all from your diet.
However, it may be necessary to get the nutrients in glutton and casein products in some other way, such as with dietary supplements. Again, your doctor can help in this decision. Overall, maintaining a balanced diet is the healthiest approach. Leaving glutton and casein products out of your or your child's diet may help control autistic behavior, so it's an option that should be considered, but eating a healthy diet is going to be the best way to keep you and your family healthy.
