Abstract

Background:Currently there is a paucity of quality evidenceto support the use of restricted diets in Autism SpectrumDisorder (ASD) and NICE guidelines do not recommend theuse of restricted diets to treat ASD(1)although there are con-siderable positive anecdotal reports on the efficacy of the Glu-ten Free Casein Free diet (GFCF). Moreover, since there is alack of medical treatment available for autism, parents oftenturn to various complementary and alternative therapiesincluding restrictive diets as a means of treating their children(2). The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of four dif-ferent types of restricted diet–the (GFCF), the Specific Car-bohydrate Diet (SCD), the Gut and Psychology Syndrome(GAPS) and the Ketogenic Diet (KD) as a means of treatingchildren with ASD
