Here are some suggestions from the center of Growth Therapy (yamet) and several other sources to regulate food in general in children with autistic disorder, among others:

• Give a balanced diet by substituting foods containing casein and gluten with other ingredients to ensure that the body gets all the nutrients needed for growth, repair the damaged cells and daily activities.
• Sugar should be avoided, especially for the hyperactive and there are fungal infections. Fructose can be used as a sugar substitute because of slower absorption of fructose compared to glucose / sucrose.
• Use vegetable oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, or olive oil as a replacement for conventional cooking oils.
• Get plenty of fiber, especially fiber from vegetables and fresh fruits. Consumption of vegetables and 3-5 servings of fruit per day.
• Avoid foods that are using a food additive (flavor enhancer agents, dyes, preservatives).
• When the balance of nutrients can not be met, because children are too difficult to accept food intake, then consider vitamin and mineral supplementation (vitamin B6, vitmin C, zinc, and magnesium). This step should be consulted with a doctor.
• Provide adequate food varies. When food is monotonous, then the child will be bored.
