Probiotics for gut health in children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking probiotics (friendly bacteria) can help improve gut health and tummy problems in children with autism. It may be a good fit if your child has stomach issues and has not recently taken antibiotics or probiotics.

This study looks at how the gut and brain are linked in children with autism. It tests whether probiotics can help improve behavior and symptoms by studying the bacteria in the gut.
This study explores whether the bacteria living in a child's stomach and intestines are connected to how their brain develops and functions in autism. Researchers will collect stool samples and do developmental assessments to see if there are patterns.
This trial is looking at the connection between the gut and autism. It tests whether certain gut bacteria and the gut's protective barrier are different in children with autism and gastrointestinal issues. This could help find new ways to improve symptoms.
This study tests if a daily pea-based probiotic supplement (Bio-K+) can help children with autism. If your child is between 4 and 11 years old, has normal intelligence, and can take the supplement, they may be able to join.
