Binge drinking affects social cognition via gut microbiome

Post Reply New Topic

Been tellin’ y’all for a decade that altering gut flora changes our social circuitry and that I’ve been able to switch mine on via diet/supplements/intestinal cleanses & probiotics etc.

While this study isn’t about autism, it’s still related and interesting that alcohol altering gut flora in even presumably NT people changes their social functions by chemically altering their gut flora.

I stand by my predictions made nearly a decade ago that as the gut microbiome is ever better understood that the future of mental & neurological health medicine is going to include gut flora analysis via faeces and then compounding biologists of sorts, vs compounding chemists/pharmacists, creating custom blends of probiotics/prebiotics/enzymes etc required to bring a specific person’s gut flora back into an ideal balance range.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

NT people dont become autistic due to drinking though...well, so it seems. THey might lose some of their sharpness.

So, basically, vaccines might as well cause autism then, because it could affect the ''gut'' (I HATE THAT WORD!! !) flora or something.

Which gut is it? The intestines? The kidneys? It's never specific.

But if your gut biome theory of autism were correct than...NT boozers would indeed become autistic.

Wouldnt they?

I have heard a lot about this. I don't know how much trying to treat this as an adult actually works

Think will be a good thread , ?

I don't really believe it. I think autism is all down to genes, and we don't need a scientific study to prove that. It's blatantly obvious, most ASD parents have kids with ASD, or most NT parents who have ASD kids usually have more than one ASD kid. It's no coincidence.

If autism was caused by intestine bacteria or whatever it is then ASD would just be a random chance, not genetically running in families.

It's very common for babies to get infections and need antibiotics. Antibiotics don't cause autism.

^^^Agrees with Joe90^^^
but alsp think gut can bacteria can be a larger contributing factor in ones health , and subsequent effects of that safe life forms personality..(gunna be Grumpy with a Grumpy tummy). But have read certain parts of the colon supplies
certain places in a persons body, But particularily the brain maybe?

I think this is only true for a specific type of autism -- one that isn't really autism via neurology and circuitry, but by sensitive biochemistry causing behaviors that qualifies for autism diagnosis.

The same logic with vaccines -- except it's not related to the gut, but likely about immune responses.

This logic also implies the same way with trauma.


And into this specific topic; what specific type of body/biochemistry this person/people, pressumably and likely had been an NT, that do benefit for this type of dietary treatment?

Specific sensitivities/insensitivities doesn't have to be limited to the gut, of course. Or, only one of the following;
It could be something else entirely -- immune responses, specific hormones, proteins and cells, stress responses and whatever triggers...

And yes, they're kinda like the key players when it came to brain health. Heck, autoimmune disorders are huge when it comes to brain disorders.

Which makes kinda sense.
Any medically fragile kid could likely ended up diagnosed as autistic due to medical interventions or the disease itself -- and likely blame autism for said medical fragility.

But the same can be said with isolating said child. Or traumatizing said child.
And blame it all to autism. Solely because the behaviors matches the checklist.



Anyways.
I have my own sensitivities.

But whatever gut issues I have is causing more executive dysfunction than making me autistic.

Specific consumptions/restrictions of foods so far hadn't changed me much.
Not even cutting caffeine and sugar. Caffeine just made my sleep just less messy, but it's still messy.
Cutting bread and dairy just made me sneeze less.

And sugar... Is more of a coping mechanism that perpetuates certain states in my head and a crappy habit than just some dietary relate issue.

I plan to get rid of it completely before I reach 30, due to my family history of having diabetes.
Heck, this may also be why I have some biochemical sensitivities -- yet none of my relatives are autistic or ended up with autism.

Timing and how much I consumed lessened my gut issues though, because this whole time, I've been overfed and not conditioned to be mindful enough.

Gives me a bit of better sleep quality and granted me a silver chance of maintaining routine -- doesn't improve much still. Still unsatisfied.

Then I have the reproductive cycles to deal with, which influences how my gut reacts, and I hadn't able to solve it yet.
Something just went downhill for me since puberty.


But sure.
My own autism may or may not even be genetic.
I won't be surprised if it's not due to lacking relatives having it too.
At best I have an ND cousin, not specifically autistic -- but is likely through in laws. Closest autistic relative I have is this distant cousin (closest would be a 2nd cousin) that I've never met.

It is true and documented that SOME Autistic people are Autistic because of gut flora issues. But that is not the case for ALL Autistic people. So yes, for SOME, changing their gut flora will reverse their Autistic symptoms and traits but it won't work for every single Autistic person.
