Gluten and dairy free diet for children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a diet without casein (a dairy protein) and gluten (a wheat protein) can help children with autism spectrum disorder. It looks at how this diet might affect their symptoms and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two special diets (gluten-free casein-free and Feingold) for children with autism who have tummy troubles or other symptoms. It aims to see if changing what they eat can help.
This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement (a mix of good bacteria) can help reduce autism symptoms in children. It lasts 3 months and involves filling out questionnaires about your child's behavior at the start and end of the trial.
This study tests a probiotic (good bacteria) formula for children with autism who also have stomach or bowel problems. It aims to see if the probiotic can help with both gut and autism symptoms.
This study tests if a daily pea-based probiotic supplement (Bio-K+) can help children with autism. If your child is between 4 and 11 years old, has normal intelligence, and can take the supplement, they may be able to join.
This study tests whether a combination of stem cell therapy, gut microbiome restoration (using specially prepared stool), and dietary changes can improve autism symptoms, communication, social behavior, and digestive issues. Researchers believe gut health and immune system problems may contribute to autism, and this trial explores whether treating these areas helps.
This trial studies differences in the gut bacteria (microbiome) between children with autism and healthy children. It may help researchers understand what roles the gut may play in autism and guide future treatments.
