probiotics

bobs76

I have just been doing some very basic research into probiotics and Autism. I'm going to talk to my health visitor and/or GP about it. My son is 6 , has been diagnosed with Aspergers and has had some digestive issues in the past. Some of the research I've seen has been really positive for some  cases, but I need to do more research and get proper advice. I just wondered if anyone had any experience of using probiotics.

  • Hi - in my case I wasn't difficult to *** feed my son at all.

     Probiotics seem harmless + are said to improve good bacteria in the gut.  This is said to be a good thing for the digestive system.  Drinking enough liquid also helps improve bowel movement, as does eating roughage.   If you think about it, the brain + the gut seem to have a nervous connection.  Think about being anxious, worried etc + how it can affect your digestive system.  Phrases such as "butterflies in the tummy", "sick with worry", having to hurry to the toilet when frightened, etc.  Apparently there are a lot of nerves in the digestive system.  So tried + tested methods of helping anyone's digestive system to operate healthily can only be good.
