Microbiota Transfer Therapy improves gastrointestinal and autism symptoms

10th April, 2017 · rushman

Microbiota Transfer Therapy alters gut ecosystem and improves gastrointestinal and autism symptoms: an open-label study

New research suggests a link between the microbiome and autism spectrum disorder.  Using a protocol that involved a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) resulted in an improvement in both gastrointestinal symptoms but also behavioral improvements.  This small study is important as it reproduces the results of other adult studies that have shown an improvement in psychological symptoms following FMT.  It provides yet more evidence of a gut-brain connection and should encourage others to explore this important connection.
