Abstract

Children with autistic disorders suffer from various gastrological abnormalities more frequently compared to the overall population. Coincidence of autistic disorders and celiac disease is probably a concurrency of two common diseases. However, in order to assess the connection between autistic disorders and non-celiac gluten sensitivity it is necessary to carry out further studies. Gluten-free diet should not be applied in all patients with autistic disorders, but there probably is a group of patients with the diet-related autism phenotype, who can benefit from dietary therapy.
