Interesting. I read another article before and I think there may be something to the serotonin thing with IBD kids too. I know my son has some sensory issues and is very anxious. It all gets worse when he's flaring too. Maybe in the future, that would open up another method of treatment.

My little guy has PDD-NOS in addition to the colitis, and I've been wondering about the link a long time. I bought the GAPS diet book a few months ago and may try it with him this summer, although it seems to be a daunting task. Here's a link in case any one is interested http://www.gapsdiet.com/

My IBDer has a very mild case of Asberger's and my youngest (non-IBDer - so far) is also PDD-NOS. I have regularly wondered about the correlation... Interesting article, thank you for sharing.

I saw this article this morning on FB. If nothing else, it should be in the back of every autistic/Asberger caregivers mind.
