Is behaviour linked to “Gut” health?

There is considerable research being done that links the health of the gut to learning and behaviour. There is evidence that Leaky Gut Syndrome has been found in cases of autism and research by Dr Lyons (wrote the book “Is your child’s brain starving”) has done shows that most children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) suffer from leaky gut. Dr Lyons found that of the majority of ADHD children had little or no friendly (probiotic) gut bacteria, and all had a high amount of potentially harmful (pathogenic) bacteria in their bodies. A 1/3 of them had intestinal parasites. His research also indicated that more than 80% of children with behavioural or cognitive problems identified specific immune system weakness in them.

You can read these findings in the link below. Dr Lyons article has some practical ways to heal leaky gut syndrome:
