Connecting Nutrition, Gut Health, and Autism Well-Being
In a recent webinar hosted by Inara, a new platform supporting parents and caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental conditions, Dr. James Adams from Arizona State University shared valuable insights on how nutrition and gut health can impact autism. With years of research and personal experience, Dr. Adams provided practical strategies that could help children on the spectrum feel better - with added benefits.
“We want to build a platform and community where no parent or caregiver navigates their neurohealth journey alone,” said Vijay, one of Inara's co-founders. The webinar marked the launch of Inara's platform..

How can I contact Dr. James Adams or learn more about the MTT studies?
Dr. Adams can be reached via the Gut-Brain Axis Therapeutics website or the ASU website. He has an email list for updates on studies. https://gutbrainaxistherapeutics.com/
When will the next MTT study be available?
The next MTT study is planned for about a year from now, pending funding for a Phase 3 study.
How can parents test for toxins or gut-related issues in their child?
Analutos provides comprehensive metabolite testing. A simple urine test kit can be ordered to analyze various markers.
Can the test be shipped all over the world?
Yes, shipping is available internationally, but confirm with the provider for specific regions.
After effective treatment, does an ASD person's urine test result become "normal" or TD?
Post-treatment, test results often normalize or show significant improvement, but may vary by individual.
What are the best ways to administer supplements to children with autism?
Supplements can be mixed with chocolate, juice, or other foods. Capsules are easier for children who can swallow them.
Are there any side effects from the MTT or vitamin-mineral supplements?
Both are generally well-tolerated. A small percentage of individuals may have adverse reactions to supplements or antibiotics in MTT due to bacterial toxin release.
Does MTT work for conditions other than autism?
While primarily for autism, some participants with ADHD showed improvement. There's potential for addressing depression, anxiety, OCD, and other conditions.
What age groups are eligible for the MTT and ANRC treatments?
ANRC is safe for children as young as two. MTT studies have gradually lowered the age requirement, now including children four years and older.
How does MTT impact co-occurring conditions like seizures or Tourette's?
MTT has shown no adverse effects for participants with controlled seizures. In one case, a participant with Tourette's saw significant improvement.
What are the safety measures for MTT treatments?
Each dose undergoes rigorous safety testing, including donor screening. Over 8,000 treatments for other conditions showed no serious adverse effects.
Can participants join studies remotely?
Yes, the studies are conducted nationwide, with remote participation and no need for in-person visits.
Do we have to be concerned about pre-existing treatments for comorbidities? What are you pre-screening for?
Yes, pre-screening ensures compatibility with existing treatments. Specific screenings depend on the study protocol.
Does this also help with speech improvement?
Yes, studies indicate improvements in speech and communication post-treatment.
Do you recommend Dr. William Davis' "Super Gut" cultured yogurt with species like L. Reuteri or L. Gasseri?
This was not directly addressed, but natural probiotics and gut health interventions are generally encouraged.
Is it fair to say they have been cured, or is it symptom improvement?
The focus is on significant symptom improvement rather than a cure.
