Nogay, Nalan Hakime; Walton, Jennifer; Roberts, Kristen M.; Nahikian-Nelms, Marcia; Witwer, Andrea N. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Some research suggests that GI symptoms seen in children with ASD may relate to behavior problems. The objective of this pilot study was to assess the effect of the low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet on GI and behavioral problems in children with ASD. At follow-up, the low FODMAP diet group…

González-Domenech, Pablo José; Díaz Atienza, Francisco; Pablos, Carlos García; Soto, María Luisa Fernández; Martínez-Ortega, José María; Gutiérrez-Rojas, Luis – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The use of alternative interventions, such as gluten-free and casein-free (GFCF) diets, is frequent due to limited therapies for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our aims were to determine the influence of a GFCF diet on behavior disorders in children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD and the potential association with urinary beta-casomorphin…

Marsden, Rachel E. F.; Francis, John; Garner, Iain – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Gluten free/Casein free (GFCF) diets are one of the most common types of Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM) used in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) despite little evidence to support positive effects. There has been no theory driven literature that has investigated parents' reasons for their use. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB)…

Brazendale, Keith; Brazendale, Allison B.; Garcia, Jeanette M.; Monroe, Courtney M.; Weaver, R. Glenn; Beets, Michael W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The 'Structured Days Hypothesis' suggests that children's obesogenic behaviors (e.g., activity, diet, sleep, and screen time) are less favorable during times when there is less-structure to a child's day (e.g., summer). To compare obesogenic behaviors of children with developmental disabilities (DD) during summer on days with differing amounts of…

Chawner, L. R.; Blundell-Birtill, P.; Hetherington, M. M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
People with developmental disorders (DD) often display high levels of selective eating, which can result in micronutrient deficiencies. It is therefore essential to explore ways to increase dietary variety in this population. To identify different types of interventions promoting increased acceptance of new foods or dietary variety for DD…
