“…West et al (28) detected considerable decrease in constipation and diarrhea after probiotic therapy. Our results are also in line with those reported in a recent pilot study performed in 13 ASD children, 3-12 years of age, which showed significant improvement in GI complaints in children treated with DSF compared with children treated with placebo (46).…”

“…Our result suggests that ASD children with and without GI symptoms could represent two different populations and that probiotics interventions could potentially provide different effects, likely due to distinct microbiota targets. Previous studies have already suggested that differences in microbiome (45,46) are independent from GI dysfunction, and Luna et al (45) argued that larger and well-designed studies are still needed to determine whether microbial composition may stratify ASD children beyond the GI symptoms. Within this framework, a positive impact of probiotics on autism severity in children without pre-existing GI symptoms supports the complexity of the microbiota-gut-brain axis warranting further studies on this subgroup of ASD subjects.…”

“…A probiotic (Vibosome containing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium ) was administered to 13 ASD children (ages 3–12 years) to treat GI symptoms for a 19-week trial period. The Vibosome treatment showed significant improvement in GI complaints ( p = 0.02) [ 39 ]. Another possible solution for ASD-GI comorbidities could be administration of vitamin D, because ASD individuals are often dietarily deficient [ 12 ].…”

“…Similarly, the Shabaan study [172] also found a decrease in ATEC scores, the biggest improvement being in the health and physical behavior category which decreased from 36.83% to 27.1%. Finally, a study done on thirteen children aged from 3 to 12 years old and who were suffering from ASD, anxiety, or GIS showed that that the administration of the Visbiome formulation, containing 8 different strains mainly lactobacillus, was safe and provided health improvements [178]. Altogether, the evidence presented here supports the continued investigation of different probiotics in preventing and managing ASD; this may explain the multiple new, ongoing, clinical human trials using probiotics to prevent/treat ASD, which are summarized in Table S4.…”
