Yeast Overgrowth Management
Author

Summary
This online article from Raising Children Network's Parent Guide to ASD Therapies describes and evaluates yeast overgrowth management, an approach to treating autism which is based on the idea that people on the autism spectrum might have an overgrowth of yeast in their guts.
The article notes that the therapy has yet to be rated, with claims of effectiveness being based on anecdotal reports and poor-quality case studies. The article also includes warnings about the importance of monitoring potential toxic effects of the antifungal agents that can be used in the overgrowth management approach.
