The newest findings, which will be presented this week, have found increasing
evidence that children with autism have a different gut bacteria environment.
After researchers at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University looked
at fecal matter samples from children with and without autism, they found seven
of the 50 compounds were significantly different.
"Most of the seven metabolites could play a role in the brain, working as neurotransmitters or controlling neurotransmitter biosynthesis," Kang said . "We suspect that gut microbes may alter levels of neurotransmitter-related metabolites affecting gut-to-brain communication and/or altering brain function."
