This is especially true for children who grow rapidly and, therefore, have high nutrient requirements. In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20362301\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">children with autism refuse more food than children with normal development<\/a>. In other words, they may already have a restrictive diet, and it is certainly not a good idea to restrict it further.<\/li><li>The GAPS diet restricts <a href=\"https:\/\/dietsabc.com\/en\/diets\/best-fiber-sources\/\">fibre-rich foods<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/dietsabc.com\/en\/food\/why-choose-whole-grain-products\/\">whole grains<\/a>, legumes, some fruit and vegetables). Fibre intake is therefore likely to be insufficient, which in turn can affect gastrointestinal health and increase the risk of constipation or other gastrointestinal problems.<\/li><li>The GAPS diet specifically emphasises the use of bone broth and probiotic-rich foods to maintain\/improve gut health. Although these foods may be beneficial for some people, they may also cause digestive discomfort such as <a href=\"https:\/\/dietsabc.com\/en\/miscellaneous\/bloating-gas-in-the-stomach-and-how-to-reduce-bloating\/\">bloating, gas<\/a> or diarrhoea, especially if they are introduced into the diet for the first time.<\/li><li>The GAPS diet is very restrictive and requires a lot of planning &#8211; which can make it difficult to follow in the long term (the full GAPS diet cycle is 18 to 24 months).<\/li><li>Adherence to the GAPS diet can cause social problems, for example &#8211; dining out with friends or attending social events where food is served that does not follow the GAPS guidelines. This can lead to feelings of isolation and make it difficult to follow the diet.<\/li><li>Although the GAPS diet is promoted as a diet that benefits neurological and psychological health, restrictive diets are commonly associated with conditions such as increased irritability, fatigue, decreased energy levels, hormonal imbalance and immune system dysfunction, mind fog, difficulty concentrating, etc.<\/li><li>Some people on restrictive diets such as GAPS may develop an unhealthy relationship with food or feel guilty or anxious about their food choices.<\/li><\/ul><pre>\u00a0<\/pre><h2>Does leaky gut syndrome cause autism?<\/h2><p>This is the most important question, as the GAPS diet is based on the assumption that autism is caused by a leaky gut and that it can be cured by following the diet developed by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride.<\/p><p>Autism is a disorder that causes changes in the way the brain works, affecting the way an autistic person perceives the world.<\/p><p>These effects can vary greatly, but in general, autistic people have difficulties with communication and social interaction.<\/p><p>Autism is thought to be a complex condition caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26826339\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental factors meant environmental pollution &#8211; pesticides, phthalates, PCBs, solvents, air pollutants, fragrances, glyphosate, heavy metals, etc.<\/a><\/p><p>In other words &#8211; substances that almost all of us regularly come into contact with through perfumes, cosmetics, air fresheners, processed foods (containing flavourings, etc.), detergents, etc.<\/p><pre>\u00a0<\/pre><p>Studies have found that up to 70% of people with autism have digestive problems, which can cause symptoms such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24193577\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, acid reflux and vomiting<\/a>.<\/p><p>But.<\/p><p>It is not clear whether these digestive problems are caused by leaky gut syndrome or, for example, unhealthy eating habits (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20362301\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">autistic children refuse more foods than normal children<\/a>).<\/p><pre>\u00a0<\/pre><p>Some studies have found that some children with autism have increased intestinal permeability.<\/p><p>But.<\/p><p>Other studies have found no difference in gut permeability between children with and without autism.<\/p><p>There are also currently no studies showing intestinal permeability preceding the development of autism.<\/p><p>In other words, even if some children with autism have increased gut permeability, it is not known <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25262969\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whether this is a cause or a symptom of autism<\/a> or whether there is no link at all (e.g. if some people with autism had blue eyes, this would not mean that blue eyes cause autism).<\/p><pre>\u00a0<\/pre><h2>Can I lose weight on the GAPS diet?<\/h2><p>It is possible to lose weight on the GAPS diet, but this is not the goal of the diet.
