Dr. Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown, Ph.D., discusses her recent studies on gut microbiota in individuals with autism who have gastrointestinal (GI) problems. She outlines what we know about human microbiomes, how they interact with our bodies, and the potential they hold for treating autism symptoms. The presenter reviews a\u00a0 2017 open-label trial of Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) and a 2019 follow-up study. Both studies showed GI and behavioral symptom improvements and positive changes in the gut microbiome environment. Krajmalnik-Brown asserts the need for double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials and urges listeners not to attempt such treatments at home. She outlines other relevant studies before closing with a question-and-answer session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Take the knowledge quiz for this presentation\u00a0HERE<\/a>
