Summary

This study tests whether a common probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) can reduce stomach issues like constipation and diarrhea in children with autism spectrum disorder. About 50 children aged 4 to 12 with both autism and ongoing stomach problems will receive the probiotic or a placebo. The goal is to see if the probiotic improves gut symptoms and quality of life.
