Low Glycemic Diet In Autism - Dr.Varsha Patel Joshi - Nutritionist

Glycemic Index (GI) is a ranking given to foods containing CARBOHYDRATES according to the overall effect they have on blood sugar levels. Foods that are absorbed quickly have higher GI; i.e. Foods that are quick to digest have high GI values (e.g. - White breads, cereals, sugary processed foods). A low GI DIET is mainly comprised of foods that take longer to digest. Consuming CARBOHYDRATES that are slow to digest reduces the Spike in blood sugar levels that follow a meal.
Autism is characterized by social avoidance, repetitive behaviors and difficulty in communicating. The right nutritional intervention can have a huge impact on your child's brain function, learning, attention, focus, growth and overall health. Nutrition can protect your child's body from neurotoxins, enhance his immune system and support his gastrointestinal function.
If an autistic child is not provided with the right nutrition, it will have a negative impact on his ability to respond to treatment and therapies - behavioral programs and art, music, occupational, sensory and speech language therapy. Research indicates that many children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) suffer from one or more range of digestive/gastrointestinal problems which can affect not only the brain but also mood and behavior.
Autistic children are extremely hyperactive, so they usually craves for sweets, chocolates, junk food which spikes their blood sugar levels immediately and thus gives them instant energy for more activity. It is a vicious cycle as, Sugar - Glucose is main food to brain and excess food to brain increases brain activity and hence increases Hyperactivity and thus less ability to concentrate. Hence a good dietary intervention is important for children with ASD. A low Glycemic Index diet can control the hyperactivity and thus helps improve the concentration and further scope of intervention therapies to help them improve and become more independent in their life.
It is very important to feed them small meals at small intervals, so there are no sudden dips and spikes in blood sugar levels. Food choices should be from low Glycemic food, high on fiber, non meat sources of protein, fruits and vegetables. One should definitely avoid Sugar, sugary food, junk food to these children.
A healthy, adequate and a balanced diet is a key for good health, as it will also provide proper nourishment which is required during the growing age. Parents have to take care not to self design the child's diet but seek professional help from a Nutrition Expert who can provide right guidance and customize a diet plan as per the need of your child.

Is Cure for Autism Possible? by Dr.Santosh Joshi

The most common question that we come across is that doctor can you cure autism with Homeopathy? And there are lot of hopes and emotions associated with this question. We answer the question by being honest in our conversation by explaining the scope of Homeopathic medicines and Dietary intervention. We also educate the parent that a disease can be cured but autism is a disorder and it has to be handled; efforts should be focused on making the child independent and reducing or removing the obstacles that are faced in successfully treating the child with Homeopathy, Dietary intervention and Therapies. We have seen in our practice of more than a decade that the children respond very well to Homeopathic treatment and in certain cases there has been reversal of the symptoms of autism but this again depends from case to case. We do not claim of curing autism our aim is to give the best possible results and see how the maximum improvement can be achieved along with therapies.
Benefits that can be achieved through Homeopathy and Dietary intervention:
  • Reducing the hyperactivity
  • Improving eye contact
  • Increasing attention span
  • Improving cognitive skills
  • Managing the sensory issues
What we do:
Step 1:
Understanding the parent's situation and explaining them the possibilities with Homeopathic medicines and Dietary interventions. We guide them to accept the fact and do the best possible for their child.
Step 2:
As Homeopathic treatment is an Individualized form of treatment we need to understand the complete case history of the individual which forms the basis of the treatment hence giving a detailed case history is very important to get the desired results with Homeopathic treatment.
Step 3:
Understanding the complete dietary routine and dietary issues the patient has.
Step 4:
Analyzing the case history and deciding the line of Homeopathic treatment.
Step 5:
Analyzing the dietary information given and customizing an individualized Diet chart.
Step 6:
Prescribing the Homeopathic medicine and the diet chart to the in-clinic patients and shipping the same across the globe to our online patients.
For our patients across the globe we provide our services via video conferencing, telephonic conversation and through e-mail.
