Abstract:
The incidences of both autism spectrum disorder and food allergy have been on the rise in the past few decades, which have become global public health problems.Autism spectrum disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder commonly associated with gastrointestinal problems.The exact etiology and pathogenesis are unclear, and immune dysfunction has been shown associated with autism spectrum disorder.Food allergy is an immune-mediated disease that often causes gastrointestinal symptoms.Some studies have reported a possible link between food allergy and autism spectrum disorder.This reviews describes the correlation between food allergy and autism spectrum disorder, aiming to provide information for the study of etiology and treatment of autism spectrum disorder.
