I have seen from a good friend, just how effective cultured foods can be on autism. It was in the very beginning, that I myself had just discovered cultured foods and so miraculous were these foods on her children that it made me realize how powerful these foods actually are. It is much easier to eat cultured foods than to go about in the way described in this article. Healthy fecal transplants with good bacteria into children with autism seems a harder way to go about it. They found the children with autism had different types of gut bacteria, and had less diversity in the numbers of different species of these bacteria, than kids without autism. And when they looked at the metabolites, they found seven out of 50 were different in the children with autism. Some are known to play a role as message-carrying chemicals called neurotransmitters. 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. nbcnews/health/health-news/germs-gut-may-affect-autism-study-finds-n107451
