Constipation is common in autistic children, but it’s rarely simple. Learn the underlying causes, including gut bacteria and dysbiosis, and what actually helps.

Gluten and dairy can trigger inflammation, gut permeability, and immune reactions that affect brain function in children with autism. Removing these foods may improve digestion, behaviour, and focus by reducing zonulin, histamine, and folate receptor autoantibodies. A gluten- and dairy-free diet supports the gut-brain axis, calming inflammation and helping children thrive naturally.
