简要总结

We hypothesize that in children with autism dietary antigens can change the intestine, making it "leaky" and then affecting the brain changing their behavior.

详细描述

Subjects in 2 different diets (gluten/dairy and placebo) will be monitored for changes in intestinal permeability (urine lactulose mannitol ratio) and behavior (psychometric testing).
