Maybe this new drug will cure autism?

I have diverticular disease, which is IBS on steroids. I am constantly plagued by bowel upset and chronic diarrhea. I got talked into trying probiotics and it helped, but it was wickedly expensive for the good ones with high CFU counts. They come in liquid form and you keep them refregerated (yogurt is useless). A nutritionist I saw for diabetes got me turned onto fermenting my own kraut. Holy hell, what a difference it made for my health. Bowel upset gone. Diarrhea gone. Quality BMs you can set your watch to. Made me a believer.

I agree the bacteria have a limited shelf life. I start to go sideways within weeks if I am not constantly replenishing my flora with new stock.

I know ßaurkraut works, mentioned on previous threads. Probiotics isn't fair to consumers due to prices without evidence, in my unprofessional opinion.

Use vitamin B complex daily, I never realised it's for gut microbes, thought that was c0Q10
I noticed when vitamin B was finished and only had vit A that I had illness symptoms returning. So I take vitamin AB daily and lot of other supplements as if most Asperger's are anemic, im 10x worse deficient.

Kombucha? Um

There is evidence it works for certain condiitons but it is by no means a cure all. I take it for gut health and preventing diarrhea and notice the benefits.

Appears various factors affect autism, so curing some co morbid like IBS or fatigue are possible. A complete cure, I think saying more like preventing autism in first place may just be Environ factors.
Seems we may have somewhat choice on cure options.

preventing autism in first place

It offends me when people wish to cure what I regard as having been given a wonderful gift.

I must say not often but at times I wish I had friends, but friends I can relate too. My mother and I used to get on very well, sometimes fight but everyone does. I'm not sure if everyone thinks we social num-num that desire attention but don't fit in, wondering about group meet up to see if I can't find some decent company. Perhaps my son can relate to some of people and just be more normal, happy teen.

but at times I wish I had friends, but friends I can relate too.

I just find groups of people who share my interests, do things with them, and come away with unexpected friends. When I look for fun I end up having friends, but when I go looking for friends I end up having no fun.

Sorry if that didn't make sense. Most of my life doesn't, as it turns out.

Fun, hmmm
I mean relate, conversation, understanding. All the things hide behind the mask.

Honestly, avoiding dairy but since I'd eaten too much garlic to keep-parasite free all my gut microbes died. Then I realised pickled food lack lactobacillus or streptococci
Usually two helpings of plain yoghurt ensures one is regular, I don't have patience for probiotics....
A) take too long to work
B) cost a lot
C) hidden ingredients since unregulated (why after all this time is gut-brain link recognised but the probiotics are up to ****)

Didn't want to buy this, pharmacist couldn't help. So R250 for probiflora and ingredients on bottle don't match....cause online it's admitted there's sugar additive, huh? What else, I think yeasts and all kinds of stuff, or lactose derivatives, lies lies lies.

Raw milk, um, this could just we'll be option. I need to source RAW yoghurt with no additives to cause allergy.
Seriously not going to put up with this.

So interest are so, eclectic or require attributes, the general population does not have, My special interest is physics ,
short of attending university lectures, not a lot of like minded Attended a lecture once, Leonard Susskind, introducing his hypothesis on hologram principle on black holes event horizon, Looking around, room full of Apies, however did not know at the time I was one of them. Should have milled around made some friends. I was there with my buddy he worked at the university.
