Dietary Interventions for Autism by Donna Williams

Families hit by cost of diet to help treat autism - "CALLS have been made for specialised dietary foods used as a treatment for autism to be made available on the NHS as parents struggle to cope with the costs. The wheat and dairy-free diet, which is increasingly popular with parents of autistic children, can send a family's shopping budget soaring as the products can cost up to 10 times more than standard alternatives," by Darren Devine - Whales

Managing autism - Can diet intervention really help an autistic child? DR CHUNG YEE CHOONG, a medical doctor and parent of an autistic child, checks out the theory of diet intervention, and writes about the highs and lows in managing her daughter’s diet /  As a doctor with an autistic child, it is not unusual for me to receive calls from other parents seeking my medical opinion. So a few weeks ago, I was asked about stem cell therapy. The parents of this autistic child were very excited as it seemed that a specialist from Switzerland was willing to treat their son with stem cell therapy. This therapy, it seemed, gave a very good prognosis for a cure if the child was young (for age three years, the cure is supposedly 100%) but since the child is already nine years old, there is no guarantee of a cure but there is supposedly still a very good chance of recovery with absolutely no risk. A guarantee of total safety.

Mom raises awareness of celiac disease - "...His little sister, Isabelle Knorr, can’t accept a cookie that may be offered to her while grocery shopping with her mother. That’s because the two have a disease called celiac, a genetic disorder that prevents them from eating foods that contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, grains and many other foods such as cookies, pies, cakes and many commercially canned vegetables by C.A. Fischer

Study links autism to intestinal virus - A maverick British scientist who now works in Austin has completed a study on autism that links the disease to a novel intestinal illness. The research, to appear in the Journal of Clinical Immunology due out today, opens the door to testing treatments for some autistic children, including a diet that forbids dairy products and certain grains. Dr. Andy Wakefield, whose earlier work caused a furor by suggesting an association between a common childhood vaccine and autism, said he considers the latest research ground-breaking. The study by Wakefield and three collaborators identifies a new inflammatory intestinal disease in some children who appear normal but regress into autism, and suggests the intestinal disease is viral.

Study will examine if diet can ease autism symptoms - For years, parents of autistic children have seen a difference in how their kids behaved after they followed diets free of dairy and wheat products or that restricted their sugar intake. Their children were more alert and had better eye contact, they claimed. There was more social interaction and interest in the world around them. Whether there is any scientific basis to these claims will be tested in a three-year study beginning in November at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. It will look at the effectiveness of three alternative therapies: use of a supplement known as omega-3 fatty acid (the healthy oil found in some fish and flaxseed); a diet free of wheat and milk protein, and a diet that restricts sugar by Virginia Linn

The devil in their diet - Parents have long believed that artificial food colourings could cause hyperactive behaviour in children. Now, at last, scientists seem to have proved it, writes Geoff Watts.  Around 20,000 children have been diagnosed as having what is variously known as "hyperkinetic disorder" or "attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder" (ADHD). But some commentators believe that the true number could be 10 times that.
