A randomised , controlled study of dietary intervention in autistic syndromes . Impaired social interaction , communication and imaginative skills characterize autistic syndromes . In these syndromes urinary peptide abnormalities , derived from gluten , gliadin , and casein , are reported . They reflect processes with opioid effect . The aim of this single blind study was to evaluate effect of gluten and casein-free diet for children with autistic syndromes and urinary peptide abnormalities . A randomly selected diet and control group with 10 children in each group participated . Observations and tests were done before and after a period of 1 year . The development for the group of children on diet was significantly better than for the controls .
