Autism Treatment - regression, bowel problems and autism Part 1

This two-part series will discuss some of bowel problems in children with autism and how it affects your ability to progress. In Part 1, I want to start with children who tend to go through several problems with digestion and do not seem to be improving. Over the years I've seen is that many children with autism have problems with yeast and bacterial imbalances. They also tend to have higher rates of food sensitivity and that both may be an important contributor to the characteristics of autism, as well as the ability to make strong improvement.

Very often, special diets are used therapeutically, and this may be a diet free of gluten and casein, a low oxalate diet, a Specific Carbohydrate Diet, or any combination thereof. And the child may be in the anti-bacterial therapy, anti-fungal therapies or treatments for parasites. What may happen is that the gains are then lost and this can happen again and again. Parents and carers may be pulling your hair out in frustration trying to find a way to actually control to control bacteria or yeast. The feeling may be that no matter what the diet is tried and what therapies are used, all three measures are carried forward and two steps are taken home. And for the vast majority of children, in my experience in treating children with autism biomedical since 1998, suffering from an underlying inflammatory bowel disease.

I think that many children with autism have inflammatory bowel disease and yet are not being diagnosed with it. By reducing bowel toxicity by treatment of bacteria, yeast and parasites and then improve bowel function and the body's ability to eliminate waste, changing the child's diet so that they are not eating foods that are intolerant You will see an improvement in the child. There is usually a digestive function better and have less food poor digestion and absorption of toxic and so she is better. You can see improvements in your health, enhanced sociability, improved behavior, improved concentration and perhaps even in language. These benefits can last for a period of time and then maybe think of something negative. The child might get sick or there is a seasonal change or a change in the weather and then back to the starting point. In the 2nd half of this series we will talk more about what other tests can be made for inflammatory bowel disease.
