Helicobacter pylori and Autism
Today I would like to cover the topic of Helicobacter Pylori, or what is also called H Pylori, and Autism spectrum disorders. Helicobacter Pylori is a bacteria that has been associated with the development of stomach ulcers. We do know that various gut issues are very common in many children on the Autism spectrum. It is very common to seen children with Autism suffering from bacterial imbalances, they often have yeast overgrowth issues, and many children with Autism have digestive issues in general. So it would appear that children on the Autism spectrum have an increased susceptibility to these forms of infections, especially in the gut. Or it may be more appropriate to say they have an increased susceptibility to the behaviors associated with these infections whether it is the aggression that tends to be seen with clostridia bacteria or the self stimulatory behaviors that are often seen with yeast overgrowth. Each infection can result in its own unique behaviors that are exhibited by the child.
