Natural Autism TreatmentsThere are many natural autism treatments out there. Specialized diets, herbs, etc. As with any other treatment, the key is to find the right treatment for you - ask around, and test each one. On this page, we will go through these types of treatments. Gluten Free-Casein Free DietThis is a special diet that is very much known throughout parents of autistic children. Research and reports from parents suggest that the symptoms improve after the child has been removed from foods containing wheat and milk. Some have even noted a decrease in diarrhea and loose stools Gluten is found in wheat, oats, rye, barley, bulgar, durum, kamut and spelt as well as other grains. It, as well as similiar proteins, can also be found in food products that derive from these grains. Casein is a protein found in dairy products, and may also be found in hot dogs, soy cheese, etc. One theory about autism suggests that some people with autism cannot digest the gluten and casein they eat, thus triggering the generation of peptides, who then alter behavior, perceptions and attentiveness to his/her environment.Fish OilsOmega-3 fatty acids is the key ingredient in fish oils that gives them the power to help maintain brain health. Parents who have kept their autistic child on fish oils have also noticed a difference in behavior. For example, a lady in the United Kingdom named Maria told the Mail that after keeping her son John Paul on fish oils, she "started to see a person coming out...I'd waited four years for him to say, 'mummy I love you' and put his arms around me." The four years she had waited consisted of fighting for a diagnosis and finding a cure.
