简要总结

The purpose of this study is to determine if human immunoglobulin given by mouth twice a day is effective in treating the persistent gastrointestinal (GI) problems such as diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and bloating, in children with autism.

详细描述

Autistic GI Dysfunction (AGID) is a term that describes a constellation of GI signs and symptoms often found in children with autistic disorder, including abdominal pain, constipation, chronic diarrhea, alternating constipation and diarrhea, gaseousness, bloating, and reflux.
