Can special diets lead to nutrient deficiency?
Nutrient deficiencies are common among children and adults with developmental disorders. Food sensitivities, allergies, and dietary interventions, such as gluten-free and casein-free diets, may cause them to lack essential vitamins and minerals necessary for good nutrition and development. Some people may also have problems absorbing vitamins and minerals due to digestive problems. An alternative source may be necessary for good nutrition.
