Summary

This study tests whether a probiotic called Saccharomyces boulardii can improve gut health, immune function, nutrition, and behavior in 66 Ecuadorian children aged 5-12 with autism and digestive issues. Children take the probiotic for 4 months and then stop for 4 months, with researchers tracking changes through stool, urine, and blood samples. The goal is to see if this friendly microbe can ease stomach symptoms and possibly improve overall well-being.
