Therapeutic Diet Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorders using Nutricia Formulas (PDF)

Abstract: Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often have rigid eating patterns, suboptimal growth patterns and/or gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Endoscopy (a procedure that shows inside the GI tract) has been used on several ASD children to screen for what may be causing these problems. Findings on endoscopy show that ASD children have inflammation, ulcers, lesions, and other problems in the esophagus, stomach, and intestine more often than normal. They also have reflux, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and bloating more often than normal. These case studies describe outcomes of dietary therapy for children with ASD and GI symptoms. Dietary therapy with AABF improved the child’s nutritional status, GI symptoms, growth, and development more than same without AABF. These case reviews were requisitioned for consumer audiences in Fall 2007 by Nutricia North America, maker of EO28, the formula used in these cases. The cases occurred from 2001-2004. No sponsorship for the use of formula was provided. For more information on these cases, contact Judy Converse at info@nutritioncare.net.
