Probiotic formula for children with autism and stomach issues
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a probiotic formula can help ease tummy troubles (like diarrhea, constipation, or belly pain) in children with autism. It might help by improving gut health, which could also affect overall well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
