The Microbiome and ASD

[@davidswift5215]

I missed the presentation online when it was rescheduled, but finally got to watch today. I would love to ask a question to Dr. Barnhill regarding recommendations for kids with ASD WITHOUT gut symptoms. Our son is 4 years old and was diagnosed with ASD at 2.5 years old - however does not have many classic autism symptoms (he makes great eye contact, is very social, no sensory issues, but has delayed language and symbolic play skills, and fixates a bit on lights.) However he is catching up rapidly. In the slides where you discussed the symptoms of gut issues, he has none of those. His stools are always nicely formed and soft (no diarrhea), he has a very diverse diet (vegetables are his favorite things and he eats all sorts), no gassiness or bloating, etc. For a child like him would you still recommend things like eliminating allergenic foods, etc? We did a GFCF diet with him for about 6 weeks and didn't really notice any change, but now have kept him primarily GFCF, but not 100%. He does receive a regular regimen of multi vitamins (super nu-thera), trace minerals, enzymes, probiotics, etc.
