AIIMS Study: Do Not Include Wheat in the Diet of Children with Autism, Giving a Gluten-Free Diet May Help in Better Treatment

To improve the condition of children suffering from autism, AIIMS has conducted a significant study. According to the study, if children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are given a gluten-free diet, it can help in improving their condition. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and similar grains. That’s why researchers recommend that wheat should not be included in the diet of autistic children. This study, conducted under the leadership of Dr. Sheffali Gulati from AIIMS’ Department of Child Neurology, showed improvement in behavior and communication skills among children who followed a gluten-free diet.

Dr. Sheffali Gulati said, "This is the first time that we have obtained such results from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in India. It shows that removing gluten from the diet can bring positive changes in children with autism."

Key Findings from the Study
- 104 children with autism participated in the study.
- 54 children were given a gluten-free diet, and 50 children were kept on a regular diet.
- 24 children dropped out during the trial for various reasons.
- The children who followed a gluten-free diet showed improvement in communication skills and reduction in repetitive behavior after 6 months.

The study's results are published in an international journal.

Heavy Metals May Also Increase Autism Risk

The study also highlighted that exposure to heavy metals like lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic could increase the risk of autism. These metals can enter the body through water, food, or air pollution.

Dr. Gulati emphasized that early detection and intervention, along with dietary changes, can improve the lives of children with autism.

Dear Parents,

As part of our Autism Awareness initiative, we have placed autism awareness posters in various public places. These posters aim to educate the community about autism, helping people recognize early signs and seek the right medical help.

We need your help in expanding this effort by placing posters in more public spaces, corporate offices, and other locations. If you're interested in contributing to this cause, please let us know!

Let's work together to spread awareness, ensure early detection, and support all children in getting the help they need.

Sincerely,
