Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Nutrition  Diet  Macronutrient  Micronutrient  Vitamin Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents and caregivers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often report that their children are picky, restricted, and problem eaters. Additionally, it has been reported that children with ASD often experience gastrointestinal problems such as constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, and cramping, bloating, and diffuse pain. These factors raise concern for nutritional status of children with ASD, given that the refusal to consume particular foods coupled with the inability to tolerate, digest, and absorb these foods can compromise an individual’s overall nutrition status. The aim of our study was to evaluate dietary intake in a group of 120 children aged 2-14 years who were served in an outpatient clinic over 18 months’ time. Anthropometric data and 3-day food diaries were collected and evaluated by a licensed, registered dietician. The results indicate that the majority of participants consumed adequate calories, protein, fats, and carbohydrates. However, the majority of participants were deficient in vitamins A, D, B1, and folate, as well as calcium, magnesium, iodine, and potassium. Essential fatty acid intake was insufficient for all but 6 of the participants. Overall, the study revealed deficits in several key nutrients for the majority of participants.

Brief Report: Implementation of a Specific Carbohydrate Diet for a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Fragile X Syndrome / Kelly BARNHILL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-5 (May 2020)

Data relating to anthropometrics, dietary intake, blood markers, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, sleep issues, and behavioral concerns were gathered at baseline and after 4 months of dietary intervention. The dietary intervention was well tolerated. Improvements in nutrient status, GI symptoms, and behavioral domains were reported. The use of the SCD protocol in children with ASD/FXS and GI symptoms warrants further investigation.

Dietary status and nutrient intake of children with autism spectrum disorder: A case-control study / Kelly BARNHILL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 50 (June 2018)

Additionally, it has been reported that children with ASD often experience gastrointestinal problems such as constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, cramping, bloating, and pain. These factors raise concerns for the nutritional status of children with ASD, given that refusal to consume particular foods coupled with the inability to tolerate, digest, and/or absorb these foods can compromise overall nutritional status. Method This case-control study investigated dietary intake of 86 children with ASD aged 2–8 years and 57 age-matched peers without ASD. Caregivers of participants who met inclusion criteria completed a health history questionnaire, provided information on dietary intake and feeding behavior, and completed a nutrition physical. Results The majority of participants (both with and without ASD) met or exceeded macronutrient intake recommendations and dietary percentages for total energy, protein, carbohydrate, and fat consumption. Approximately 25% of participants consumed an inadequate or borderline amount of total calories per day based on Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) guidelines created by US Institute of Medicine (IOM). The majority of participants consumed inadequate amounts of vitamins A, D, E, folic acid and calcium. Furthermore, children with ASD consumed lower levels of protein and calcium, and were deficient in a number of B vitamins, including B1, B2, B3, B6, and folate, compared to similarly-aged children without ASD. Conclusion Given the impact of nutrition on growth and health status, a formal dietary assessment for all children with ASD is recommended.
