85% of children with ASD have obvious or hidden gut infections (bacterial and/or yeast)
This is confirmed by high levels of microbial metabolites detected in urine as reported in our new preprint study and confirmed by over 40 previous studies of children with ASD: Elevated Microbially-Derived Metabolites in Autism: A Possible Diagnostic Screening Test for a Distinct ASD Phenotype (Link)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
Autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition typically manifesting in early childhood affecting social communication skills alongside the presence of repetitive and restricted patterns of behaviour.
Our Tests
Order the Gut Health Test to determine if your child has a hidden bacterial and/or yeast infection in their gut that needs to be treated.
Order the ASD Screener to determine if your child’s microbial metabolites are so elevated that they likely require screening for autism spectrum disorder.
Both tests are available worldwide thanks to easy shipping of urine samples with FedEx.
Autism Screening Test
We use The MDM System™ Test. The MDM – microbially-derived metabolites – System™ is a research-based urine test designed to assess gut health and provide information on the potential likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children.
The outcomes of the test
Assuming suitable urine sample quality, the test provides two possible results:
(i) Negative: Not indicative of ASD associated with microbially-derived metabolites (ASD-MDM). About 15% of children with ASD do not have substantial gut dysbiosis. or
(ii) Positive: A positive result on the MDM System™ means that the child has substantial gut dysbiosis that is commonly observed in most children with ASD.
