Evaluation of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children aged 4-10 years with autism spectrum disorder
CONCLUSION: In this study, the most common FGIDs in the ASD group were abdominal migraine, functional constipation, and non-retentive fecal incontinence.

Raising awareness of healthcare professionals about the frequency of FGIDs in children with ASD will improve many areas in the daily lives of these children.PMID:38523379 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.558 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)
