I have been doing a lot of reading about this recently, and I am finding more and more that there are potentially significant links between people with autism and people who have gastrointestinal (GI) issues such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
I am a 32 year old male. I have suffered from acid reflux my whole life due to being born with a hiatus hernia. I am medicated for it, and I have been told that I will always be on medication for it due to the severity of my condition. It gets worse with stress, sleeping in a different position, changes in diet... all sorts of things can trigger it to be worse.
Does anyone else, formally or self-diagnosed with autism, have any issues like this?
I have Coeliac's Disease also. I despise it. It's robbed me of all energy and ambition.
As a fellow Coeliac, I agree 100%.
Hello Nemo. I've only had it about 5 years but it has added to my problems exponentially. I had severe problems before all this ,of course.
I am sorry to say I know of his existence only, nothing else about him
I'm sorry to read that. Do you like Francis Bacon?
