Description

Fakher Rahim and colleagues review gut-targeted supplements for autism spectrum disorder. Their meta-analysis and umbrella review appeared in twenty twenty-three. Interest in the gut-brain link has grown quickly in autism care. Probiotics, prebiotics, and combined synbiotics are the interventions tested.

Thousands of records were screened for controlled trials. Trials covered young children through adults with autism diagnoses. Ten studies reported on autism-related behaviour symptoms. Results were pooled across supplement types and age groups. Safety data were reviewed alongside behaviour outcomes. Evidence remains mixed and based on small samples overall. The review gives families a cautious summary of current claims.
