   Studies have emerged linking gut bacteria to autism   
   After news of a father improving his son's autism symptoms with antibiotics   
   went viral, a new study has shown a link between gut bacteria and autism.   
      
   According to Fox News, the study involving 45,000 Norwegian children showed   
   that infants with autism were two and half times more likely to experience   
   gastrointestinal problems during both early and late infanthood. Mothers of   
   the children in the study    
   were asked to report gastrointestinal problems until age 3, at different   
   intervals of the child's growth.

   About 195 in the study group were diagnosed with ASD. The study showed that   
   high rate of incidence of GI problems can be linked to autism but did not   
   explain the findings. However higher incidence of gut problems became apparent   
   in autistic group of    
   children even before their diagnosis.   
      
   The study comes after news of antibiotics improving autism symptoms   
   surfaced.John Rodakis' son showed was able to make eye-contact and showed   
   speech improvements after a course of amoxicillin prescribed for throat   
   infection.   
      
   Rodakis' search for an explanation led him to many parents who prescribed   
   antibiotics to their autistic children routinely, to bring improvements. He   
   also met Dr. Richard Frye who heads the Autism Research Program at Arkansas   
   Children's Hospital Research    
   Institute.   
      
   "Careful parental observations can be crucial. In science we take these   
   observations, put them through the scientific method, and see what we find.   
   This is what can lead to ground-breaking scientific discoveries and   
   breakthroughs in the field," said Dr.    
   Frye.
