Published studies have reported that an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) phenotype co-occurs frequently in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) having chronic gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Ileocolitis(inflammation of ileum and colon) is a frequent finding in GI symptomatic children with ASD undergoing diagnostic ileo- colonoscopy and, in our clinical experience, is the cause of the GI […]
