The Importance of the Gut in ASD

The relationship between the gut and the brain is a two-way street, known as the gut-brain axis. In Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), this connection is even more evident.

Studies show that children with ASD often present intestinal dysbiosis, an alteration in the bacterial flora that can lead to systemic inflammatory processes.

How does nutrition help?

Through a personalized diet, we can:

• Reduce intestinal inflammation;
• Improve absorption of essential nutrients;
• Decrease behavioral symptoms such as irritability and agitation.

Treatment involves removing inflammatory foods and including specific prebiotics and probiotics.
