How A Fecal Transplant Can Improve Your Gut
Article At A Glance:
- Healing the gut & reducing inflammation can lead to markedly improved social and emotional behaviors for children with autism.
- A study from Arizona State University showed that fecal transplants improve autism behaviors.
- Research from the Baylor School of Medicine showed that introducing a single strain of behavior to the gut led to increased sociability and oxytocin production.

Over and over, we go back to the simple yet powerful fact that healing the gut and reducing inflammation can significantly improve children with autism. Although hundreds of studies confirm this, I wanted to look at two in particular.
Fecal Transplants
Researchers at Arizona State University had noticed that individuals with autism often had compromised gut health. Hoping to find answers, they performed fecal transplants over a ten-week period, leading to an 80% improvement in GI health and 25% improvement in social skills and sleep habits.
I know that fecal transplants may sound very strange and off-putting, and I’m not necessarily suggesting that anyone try this technique. Still, it does prove the point of what we’ve been discussing: healing the gut microbiome leads to improved outcomes.
Oral Probiotics
Another study from Baylor College of Medicine demonstrated the power of oral probiotics. Researchers fed mice with autism-like behaviors a single strain of bacteria called Lactobacillus reuteri. Over time, this led to improved sociability and an increased number of oxytocin-produced neurons (the chemicals that help us feel a connection with others). If ONE strain of bacteria could cause such a huge difference, imagine what a quality probiotic (with several strains) could do for our children.
Friends, this is not just a theory or a nice idea. Scientific study has proven what we’ve been saying all along: if you want to help your child reach their full potential, you need to look at the root cause and heal the gut through nutritious, toxin-free foods and high-quality foods supplementation.
