Frustrated parents may be surprised to learn their child’s problematic behaviors can originate from their dinner plates. An internationally renowned author has some answers for those wandering the chaotic maze of autism, ADHD, and related conditions. Karen DeFelice has authored two books on digestive health, enzymes, and behavior.

There is a physiological reason that certain foods may trigger various behaviors, often unwanted ones. “A young child doesn’t know how to say ‘I have a throbbing migraine with visual disturbances,’ explains DeFelice, who has a Master’s in Science and two boys with neurological conditions. “They just know they don’t feel well and act out. Maybe you will see poor sleep, maybe head-banging, maybe aggression, or an amazing variety of other behaviors or physical symptoms.”

Adults may be affected too and not even realize it. For adults, this translates to how productive they are at work and, often, how happy they are with themselves and their lives. Many adults suffer from unknown digestive problems that influence autoimmune conditions, migraines, chronic fatigue, colitis, and chronic digestive disorders.

Why would digestive enzymes be dramatically improving behavior and learning abilities of children (and adults) over the past 4 years? “The key is to understand exactly how digestion is structured and works. Once you grasp that, the rest of the issues – symptoms, nutrition, special diets, gut problems - fall into place.” says DeFelice. “A network of nerves runs right along the digestive tract. If digestion is interrupted at one point, it can lead to one set of problems. Disruptions at another point in the gut can lead to different issues.” “Many people don’t realize that ‘good nutrition’ has 2 distinct parts.

First, you need to put real, wholesome food into your body.” explains DeFelice. “But all the great food and vitamins won’t do you any good if they aren’t digested and absorbed properly – the second essential part. Nutrients will pass right on through.”

Enzymes for Autism and Other Neurological Conditions, Book by Karen DeFelice is available from The Vitamin Trader store.
