In fact, even the medical mainstream is beginning to promote healthy diet for children with autism. Recent studies and anecdotal evidence indicate what we at Body Ecology have been teaching for years: there appears to be an intestinal health component to autism. In other words, a brain-gut connection.

Many children diagnosed with ASD are improving by healing the digestive tract and associated symptoms of food allergies, poor digestion, leaky gut, constipation and abdominal pain so common in children on the spectrum. And to heal the digestive tract, a healthy diet is key. Unfortunately, too many children with autism spectrum disorder suffer from poor diets, cravings for junk food and mineral deficiencies.

If you have a child with ASD and want to know where to start with diet, where can you turn? At Body Ecology, we work hard to create resources for parents to help prevent and treat autism. To learn more, read our articles:

• Why Autism Symptoms May Improve by Removing Gluten and Casein from the Diet
• Autism's Wake Up Call and What You Can Do Right Now
• The Root Causes of Autism: A Supposed Mystery that is Not So Mysterious
• The Myths and Truths of the Mercury / Autism Connection

If you are ready to jump in with dietary interventions, but don’t know where to start, we have found a wonderful new resource: The Encyclopedia of Dietary Interventions: for the Treatment of Austim and Related Disorders.

Authors, Karyn Seroussi and Lisa S. Lewis, PhD. are also the creators of the Autism Network for Dietary Interventions (www.autismndi.com). After educating thousands of parents and caregivers around the world, Seroussi and Lewis took their combined their expertise, three books, countless conferences and over fifty thousand e-mails into one easy-to-use reference.
