Abstract:

Currently, many studies show the effectiveness of elimination (gluten-free and case-free) diets in correcting not only the symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders in patients with autism but also in correcting behavioral indicators. The results of the inclusion of gluten and case free diets were analyzed in the complex of therapeutic measures in a child with autism spectrum disorders.

An individual approach is necessary to the appointment of a gluten-free diet for children with autism spectrum disorders, it is required to survey before it begins to exclude various forms of gluten intolerance.
