"Researchers analyzed the gut microflora of healthy and autistic children and found that the autistic children’s gut microflora had reduced richness and diversity, which are essential factors in creating a bacterial community capable of dealing with environmental assaults. It’s widely known that autistic children often suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) problems; these GI problems may be a symptom of an underlying problem – abnormal gut flora that is not only causing the GI disturbances but also possibly the behavioral symptoms associated with autism. Research by Dr. Campbell-McBride has also revealed that nearly all of the mothers of autistic children have abnormal gut flora, which is significant because newborns inherit their gut flora from their mothers at the time of birth."
