ASU researchers see hope for autism symptoms with fecal transplants
The researchers studied 18 children with autism spectrum disorder two years after they received fecal transplants from human donors as part of a trial and found "significant improvements" in both their gastrointestinal and behavioral symptoms, though it was not a cure, they said.
At the start of the study, 83% of participants were rated as “severe” autism. At the end of the study, 17% were “severe,” 39% were “mild/moderate,” and 44% were below the cut-off for mild autism spectrum disorder, the study found.
