Clinical trials with a broad range of ages have reflected the transfer of microbiota from a healthy human to the GI of individuals with autism spectrum disorders to be helpful in “reducing their GI symptoms, reducing their ASD symptoms, and increasing their diversity of gut bacteria”.

Further, “At the beginning of the study, the majority – 83% of participants – were classified as “severe” on an autism diagnosis scale. At a 2 year follow up, only 17% were still “severe”, and 44% no longer met the criteria for an autism diagnosis. Most participants had significant improvements in core autism symptoms and gastrointestinal problems.

In my recent radio show interview with Dr. James Adams, Director of the Autism/Asperger’s Research Program at Arizona State University, we discuss this topic at length and answer many of your questions:

• Why did you think GI problems and autism symptoms might be due to gut bacteria?
