Hello None,
When I first started helping children with autism utilizing Fecal Microbiota Transplants
(
https://novelbiome.com/what-is-fmt-treatment/) (FMT), I often heard parents say to me, “my child is a gut kid.” At
first I was a little confused but I then quickly realized that what this means to parents is that the majority of their
child’s symptoms or behaviours are connected to how their gut is functioning.
For example:Moving away from the diet leads to skin rashes and hyperactivity…Prolonged constipation results in
aggression or self harming…Increased gas or bloating leads to increased stims and repetitive behaviours…Abdominal pain
or discomfort leads to a peak in OCD behaviours…
On the opposite side of the spectrum, I have also had parents inform me that when they are treating their child’s
digestive symptoms they often see great improvements (even if they are temporary).
A course of antibiotics or antifungals leads to a temporary reduction in hyperactivity and an increase in eye
contact…Sticking to a strict gluten and dairy free diet results in improved speech…Resolving constipation with magnesium
or other laxatives results in a happier and more content child…I now understand what parents mean with regard to having
a “gut kid.”
The research is very clear and indicates a strong correlation between autism and microbiome disruption. Most of the
patients we treat at Novel Biome have either clear digestive symptoms (gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal
pain, etc.) or a history and stool tests that indicate damage to their gut microbiome.
Did the results of the “autism microbiome quiz” surprise you? Do you consider your child a “gut kid?”
Best regards,
Team Novel Biome
