Now, the team behind the review – which also highlights many studies showing that restoring a healthy balance in gut bacteria can treat Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) symptoms – have called for large-scale studies into the effects of altering the makeup of bacteria in the gut. After a review of more than 150 papers on autism and gut bacteria, scientists from the US and China have suggested that alteration of the gut microbiome may reduce symptoms of the disorder. Since the 1960s, scientists have been reporting links between the composition of bacteria in the gut and autistic behaviour. Gut healthThe link between the gut and ASD is well known, with sufferers commonly reporting constipation and diarrhoea. The researchers suggest that an increase in bad bacteria in the stomach can lead to an overproduction of toxins, which affects the permeability of the gut lining.
