DAN Protocol
Autistic children commonly have digestive problems, nutrition deficits and severe allergies. The root, at least partly, goes to the poorly developed immune system and ABNORMAL gut flora. A leaky gut becomes a source of toxicity. These toxins get absorbed through the gut lining into the blood stream and carried to the brain. As a result, the child develops learning problems or learning disabilities.
At UDAAN, we provide complete guidance on dietary as well as biochemical parameters as per childs requirements since every autistic child is different. We assess the child using diagnostic as well as prognostic scales. The medical wing will assess his physiology and biochemical parameters, micronutrient levels, allergy and toxicology profile, blood metal profiles, serum vitamin levels, and then guide the dietician to plan out a well balanced allergen free non toxic diet suitable for a normal child of his sex, weight and age (DAN Protocol based). Certain specific genetic parameters will also need testing and remedial medical means adopted.
