Abstract

Yaygınlığı
giderek artan otizm spektrum bozuklukları; sosyal etkileşimde belirgin farklı
tutumlar, takıntılı ve tekrarlanan davranışlar, motor becerileri iyi
kullanamama gibi birçok semptom ile karakterize nörolojik bir hastalıktır.
Otizmde anormal beslenme alışkanlıkları, besin tüketiminde seçicilik ve gastrointestinal
sistem problemleri gibi beslenme problemleri de görülmektedir. Ayrıca otizmde mikrobiyota
da sağlıklı bireylere göre farklıdır. Bu nedenle görülen semptomları azaltmak
için beslenme tedavilerinin uygulanması elzemdir. Vitamin ve mineral
takviyeleri,  probiyotik takviyesi,
ketojenik diyet, glutensiz kazeinsiz diyet en çok tercih edilen ve otizmde
görülen semptomları azalttığı gösterilen beslenme tedavilerindendir. Bu derlemede,
otizmde görülen beslenme ile ilgili sorunlar ve güncel beslenme tedavilerinin
etkisini araştıran yayınlar değerlendirilerek
özetlenmiştir.

Nutritional Approach In Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders

Abstract

With an increasing prevalence, autism spectrum disorders are neurological disorders
that characterized by a number of symptoms such as significantly different attitudes in
social interactions and communication, repetitive and obsessively behaviors, and
inability to use motor skills. In addition, nutritional problems such as abnormal eating
habits, sensitivity to food texture, selectivity in food consumption, and gastrointestinal
problems are also accompanied. Besides, microbiota of patients with autism seems to
be different when compared to healthy individuals. Therefore, nutritional treatment
applications are essential for reducing the symptoms and to replace nutritional
deficiencies. The most preferred nutritional therapies that have been shown to reduce
the symptoms in autism are vitamin, mineral, and probiotic supplements, ketogenic
diet, gluten-free and casein-free diets. Since nutritional treatments don’t show the same
effect in every autistic child, nutritional therapy should be applied specific to the
individual. This review summarizes the literature that investigate nutritional problems
and the effects of current nutritional treatments in autism.
