New research adds more strength to the potential link between gut bacteria and autism.
New research adds more strength to the potential link between gut bacteria and autism.
In a small study, researchers from Arizona State University found evidence that gut bacteria may differ between children with and without autism.
Specifically, the researchers found that the fecal concentrations of certain metabolites — which are chemicals produced by bacteria — differ between children with autism and children without the condition. Researchers examined 56 different metabolites in the children’s feces, and identified seven with differing concentrations.
