Not surprisingly, these clinical diseases further illustrate the vital role played by gut microbiota in the human body, both through healthy, beneficial states and, more importantly, in altered, dysfunctional states
Clearly, the entire field of Toxicology needs to be re-evaluated to determine the effects of compounds on microbial species residing in the human gut.
A recent review paper considering the role of gut microbiota in the etiology of ASD found that many studies have indeed identified the microbiota composition in ASD subjects to differ from those in healthy controls
This may help to explain the effects of the autism diet, which eliminates wheat and dairy and is very popular in europe.
is a neuropsychiatric syndrome associated with altered gut microbiota
I recently read about the altered osmotic pressure in astrocytes that is also caused by this syndrome

fecal microbiota transplants
