Dr. Alessio Fasano – Leading Research and Treatment For Gluten-Related Disorders
The Dr. Theresa Nicassio Show
Hear Dr. Alessio Fasano on HealthyLife.net – All Positive Talk Radio talk about the most cutting-edge scientific information currently available on the subject of gluten and health.
World-renowned pediatric gastroenterologist, research scientist, Harvard Professor, and Author of Gluten Freedom, Dr. Alessio Fasano, is one of the foremost leaders in the field of celiac disease, gluten sensitivity research, and gut health. In the face of much early resistance, his commitment to understanding the root cause of ailments that were not well understood and naming “the elephant in the living room” (gluten), combined with his courage and passion to offer hope for those afflicted, has created an unexpected bridge around the understanding of the interplay of gastroenterology, intestinal permeability (aka “leaky gut”), autoimmunity, and the broad range of other systems in the body, including the neurological system, that can be affected by it.
About Dr. Alessio Fasano
Alessio Fasano, MD is the W. Allan Walker Chair of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Chief of the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC). His visionary research, which established the rate of celiac disease at one in 133 people, led to the awareness of celiac disease as a growing public health problem in the United States. Dr. Fasano founded the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment in 1996, where he treats adults and children for gluten-related disorders.

Here’s the article Dr. Alessio Fasano spoke about during his interview on The Dr. Theresa Nicassio Show on February 27, 2017
Microbiota Transfer Therapy alters gut ecosystem and improves gastrointestinal and autism symptoms: an open-label study
Abstract
Background
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex neurobiological disorders that impair social interactions and communication and lead to restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. The causes of these disorders remain poorly understood, but gut microbiota, the 1013 bacteria in the human intestines, have been implicated because children with ASD often suffer gastrointestinal (GI) problems that correlate with ASD severity. Several previous studies have reported abnormal gut bacteria in children with ASD. The gut microbiome-ASD connection has been tested in a mouse model of ASD, where the microbiome was mechanistically linked to abnormal metabolites and behavior. Similarly, a study of children with ASD found that oral non-absorbable antibiotic treatment improved GI and ASD symptoms, albeit temporarily. Here, a small open-label clinical trial evaluated the impact of Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) on gut microbiota composition and GI and ASD symptoms of 18 ASD-diagnosed children.
