Research suggests a strong link between gut health and autism, with many autistic individuals experiencing gastrointestinal (GI) issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and bloating. The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in brain function, immune regulation, and neurotransmitter production, all of which can impact autism-related traits. Studies indicate that microbial imbalances and increased intestinal permeability ("leaky gut") may contribute to inflammation and altered neurodevelopment. Interventions like probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary modifications (such as gluten-free or low-FODMAP diets) have shown promise in improving gut health and, in some cases, reducing behavioral and sensory challenges in autistic individuals. While research is ongoing, a holistic approach that includes gut health management may be beneficial in supporting overall well-being in autism.
