Monthly Learning Series: February
GI symptoms are common in individuals with autism but often overlooked, affecting comfort, behavior, sleep, and daily functioning. “GI Issues in Autism: Common Conditions and Navigating Care” explores issues such as constipation, reflux, SIBO, dysbiosis, and food sensitivities, and how they may manifest as mood or behavioral changes. Families will learn how to recognize signs of digestive discomfort, explore treatment options, and work with supportive providers. The goal is to improve gut health and support greater comfort, focus, and regulation at any age
The Autism Community in Action (TACA) provides general information regarding medical research, treatment options, therapies and nutrition to the autism community. The information comes from a variety of sources and is not independently verified by TACA. Nothing presented in print or at meetings should be construed as medical or legal advice. Always consult your child’s doctor regarding his or her individual needs.
