Gastro Intestinal...just a general discussion as it seems to be not looked into regarding autism

Hi I'm sure I'm not alone in that gastro intestinal issues have plagued my son since birth and he only got diagnosed with autism at 18 and he 24 now,  gastro intestinal issues seem to be a bit of a mystery concerning the connection with autism. We were always recieve sub par service from NHS and doctors  (sorry but it's true) it's like oh you got a tummy bug go away...that's it that's all you get no tests nothing. I've posted this to see what others experience is regarding GI issues are. I'm at the point now and he has asked me to do this so we will do it together..to radically change his diet..we already are healthy ie we don't do the take  out we dont do alchohol as he had a problem with that a while back and so cant have alcohol in the house and cook fresh meals 3 times at least in a week meals with veg in it  and dint eat meat etc but it's not enough he still has nausea and on occasion will vomit straight up wht he just ate. It would be interesting to hear other people's experience , has anyone had any improvement changing diet??

    This is so interesting. I have been having a similar issue for years and still ongoing...

    I am constantly nauseous, terrible acid reflux, stomach ache and other things.

    I have had blood tests, urinal sample, stool sample, ultra sound, and endoscopy.

    I seem to have flare ups from stress, but I have tried changing my diet, not having alcohol, nicotine, coffee and changing foods, such as nothing acidic or spicy. I currently take omoprozole and have tried lansoprazol. 

    I'm pretty sure mine is from high levels of cortisol in my body from being anxious, over stimulated and overwhelmed. This has been going on for years. None of the tests I've had have showed anything, but I'm adamant it is stress. They haven't said it's IBS (well one doctor said IBS doesn't exist), but they don't seem to know what it is, but it lasts weeks, sometimes months. 

    I remember one of the worst times was in my teens when I was struggling with my sexuality and I couldn't eat, I felt too nauseous and couldn't hold it down.
