Aspergers Diet. How You Can Affect Behavior And Health Of Your Aspergers Child By Right Aspergers Diet. Can You Really Expect Some Result?

It is know that the proteins found in wheat, rye, oats, barley and dairy products (gluten and casein) aren't completely broken down in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.

These undigested proteins can leak into the bloodstream, potentially interfering with neurological processes by having an opiate-like effect upon their systems.

It's suggested that these undigested proteins (peptides) can reach toxic levels, with the Asperger child seeming to "crave" milk and wheat products.

Symptoms of gluten/casein intolerance include:

- red cheeks and ears,
- dry skin,
- runny nose,
- headaches,
- hyperactivity,
- tantrums and malformed bowel movements.

So a gluten-free, casein-free diet is definitely worth considering for your Asperger child.

How To Start: How To Affect Behavior And Health Of Your Aspergers Child By Right Aspergers Diet

Start slowly and eliminate one group (either gluten or casein) at a time. Once you're comfortable without wheat or dairy products, then you can tackle the next element. If you see a desirable result from eliminating one component, you may decide not to go any further.

For our family simply substituting gluten-free flour in all recipes I used was a simple but highly effective action. I'm a home-baker, so in any cakes, biscuits, slices and desserts I just substituted gluten-free flour in my usual recipes. I didn't add any extras like Xantham gum, and didn't have any failures.

Finding an alternative to bread was our biggest obstacle. The gluten-free varieties just weren't the same, so instead we excluded bread altogether. The gluten-free pastas on the market are excellent, but do tend to cook slightly quicker.

I suggest you email all the major distributors of snack foods, such as muesli bars and fruit slices and ask for a list of their gluten-free products. This helps with easy identification at the store.

For our family the diet finally eliminated all our son's known trigger foods such as peanut butter, chocolate and caffeine in sodas. We stayed on the diet strictly for 10 months before gradually reintroducing gluten. We have seen no return of the eliminated characteristics in our son (all of those mentioned above). We have continued to use gluten-free pasta and flour in our cooking.

Candida albicans is a normal resident inside of our intestinal tract and is known as yeast. This yeast can sometimes be found in the mouth or in the vagina. When this yeast overgrows you end up going to the doctor who will tell you it's a yeast infection known as thrush. Even though yeast is a part of our body it's makes some chemical compounds which have a bad effect on the nervous system of your body and are known to slow down the functioning of the brain. This can cause behavioral problems, difficulty to concentrate or focus and inattention.

Our daily food intake contains a lot of bad ingredients that will help yeast to flourish inside your body. It will take over the entire space and keeps the good bacteria down. In order for the body to clear the system and help grow the good bacteria back you need to eliminate any food containing the bad ingredients that will help the yeast grow.

Ballanced and correct aspergers diet will make major results in concentration, improved sleep patterns, improved speech and communication improved focus or attention span, improved social skills, improved personal hygiene habits, improved fine motor skills, improved intestinal function, increase in affection shown, less anger tantrums and mood swings.

Apart from adjusting the food intake and eliminating specific foods one can also think about food supplements. Research has shown a positive effect on language development and learning skills in children with autism or Asperger syndrome after being given fish oil supplements. Fish oil is also known as omega3 and together with omega 6 are the most essential fats people need in order to function normally. Fish oil provides essential fatty acids (EFAs), which are critical for brain health.

Children with attention deficit, autistic, and related disorders have been shown to have significantly lower levels of EFAs in their red blood cells. Parents can start their children on this food supplement, known as Omega 3 fish oil and are likely to see major results in concentration, less anger tantrums and mood swings.

INGREDIENTS

2 (3 ounce) packages raspberry flavored gelatin mix
2 cups hot water
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (21 ounce) can blueberry pie filling
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Combine hot water and gelatin; stir until dissolved. Stir in pineapple and blueberry pie filling. Pour into a 9x13 inch dish and chill in refrigerator until firm.

2. Cream together cream cheese and sugar. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Spread over firm gelatin. Chill until serving.

This recipe is absolutely delicious and easy to make! It tastes like a blueberry cheesecake and has a surprise tang from the pineapple. Next time I make it, I'll pour the fruit and gelatin mix into a couple of pre-baked graham cracker pie crusts. I definitely recommend reserving some of the blueberries to use for decorating the top of the dessert.
