Beslenme Yaklaşımlarının ve Besin Takviyelerinin Otizm Üzerindeki Etkileri

Öz

ASDs (Autism Spectrum Disorders); semptomların ve etkilerinin her bireyde farklı olduğu nöro-gelişimsel bir bozukluktur ve prevelansında dünya genelinde artış söz konusudur. ASDs prevelansındaki artışın sebebi tanı kriterlerinin artışı ile olmuş olabilir. ASDs’nin sebeplerinin genetik, çevresel ve nörobiyolojik faktörler olduğu düşünülmektedir. Son yıllarda, beslenme yaklaşımlarının ASDs semptomlarını iyileştirmeye etkisi üzerine çalışmalar yapılıyor. Araştırmacılar beyin ve bağırsak arasındaki etkileşimi baz alarak beslenme yaklaşımları üzerine çalışıyorlar. Bu inceleme en popüler diyet yaklaşımı olan glutensiz ve kazeinsiz diyet ve omega 3, D vitamini, B12 vitamini, folic acid ve probiyotik takviyesinin ASDs çekirdek semptomları üzerine etkisinin incelendiği çalışmalar içeriyor. Çalışmaların sonuçları özel ASDs semptom kriter skorlarına göre değerlendiriliyor. Yapılan çalışmaların azlığı, bazı çalışmaların katılımcı sayısının azlığı ve önemli gelişmeler görülememesi ise çalışmaların sınırlandırıcı yönleri olarak görülüyor.

The Effects of Dietary Approaches and Nutritional Supplements in Autism

Öz

ASDs (Autism Spectrum Disorders); is a neurodevelopmental disorder in which the symptoms and effects are different in each individual and there is an increase in prevalence worldwide. The increase in ASDs prevalence may be due to the increase in diagnostic criteria. The causes of ASDs are thought to be genetic, environmental and neurobiological factors. In recent years, studies have been conducted on the effect of dietary approaches on improving ASDs symptoms. Researchers are studying on dietary approaches based on the interaction between the brain and the gut. This review includes studies on the most popular dietary approach, the gluten-free and casein-free diet, and the effects of Omega 3, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid and probiotic supplements on ASDs core symptoms. The results of the studies are evaluated according to special ASDs symptom criteria scores. The limited number of studies, the low number of participants in some studies and the lack of significant improvements are seen as limiting aspects of the studies.
