Impact of Gluten and Casein on Autism: A Case Study and Mass Spectrometry Analysis

This study explores the relationship between gluten and casein consumption and autism symptoms, highlighted through a case involving a child diagnosed with infantile autism. It details the nutritional changes before and after the implementation of a gluten-free and casein-free (GFCF) diet, emphasizing notable behavioral improvements. The research utilizes LC-MS/MS techniques to analyze neuropeptides in urine and their correlations with dietary triggers, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions. The findings suggest a potential link between diet, gut permeability, and neurobehavioral outcomes.

  3. Neuropeptides in urineLC- MS/MS Dag Tveiten Adrian Finvold 2013

  4. Peptides to nervous system • Incomplete breakdown of gluten and casein • Permeability – “Leaky gut syndrome” • Pathway • Diet and effect

  5. UV- spectrum of urine • UV-spectrum of urine with given wavelengths

  6. Derek - 27 • Difficult birth – normal weight • Reduced weight soon after birth • 9,5 kg when 2,5 years old • Diagnosed with Infantile Autism - 4 years old • Often GI symptoms – pain, diarea • Angry often/aggressive behaviour

  7. Derek ? Derek 2007 – 64 kg Derek 2005 – 50 kg With permission from parents

  8. Derek Gluten- and casein free diet Before GFCF diet: • Rigid, stiffness, unrelaxed • Hardly no eye contact • Aggressive • Tramping with his feet • Biting and kicking After GFCF diet: • More relaxed • Smiling more often • More happy • Eyecontact • More communicative Parents say: One hour after ingestion of ”forbidden” food – marked increased aggressive behaviour
