The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | Six mothers of children with autism were interviewed and asked to complete an Aberrant Behaviors Checklist (ABC) to analyze their child’s diet, gastrointestinal symptoms, and behavioral symptoms. The results showed the children on a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet had fewer behavioral symptoms and symptoms of less severity (average behavioral score of 22.35) than the children who were either on a casein-free, egg-free diet (CFEF) (average behavioral score of 80), or not adhering to any exclusionary diet (average behavioral score of 69.5). Behavioral symptoms decreased with age, the youngest participant of age 4 had an average score of 72 while the oldest participants of age 7 had an average score of 35. Based on this data, GFCF dieting seems to improve ASD children’s GI and behavioral symptoms, however the mechanism and effectiveness is still under debate. Parents should be aware of the nutritional detriment that this diet may have on their child before excluding gluten and casein. | |
