Few studies have compared gastrointestinal problems in children with

an autism spectrum disorder with and without a history of language

regression. A cross-sectional study was conducted with structured

interviews in 100 children with autism spectrum disorder, using a

gastrointestinal questionnaire and a familial autoimmune

questionnaire. By parental report, children with language regression

more frequently exhibited an abnormal stool pattern (40% vs 12%, P =

0.006) and had an increased family history of celiac disease or

inflammatory bowel disease (24% vs 0%, P = 0.001) and of rheumatoid

arthritis (30% vs 11%, P = 0.03). Among 35 children with a family

history of autoimmune disease, an abnormal stool pattern was

reported more frequently in those with language regression (78% vs

15%, P = 0.001) than in those without. An association was observed

between children with language regression, a family history of

autoimmune disease, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Additional

studies are needed to examine a possible shared autoimmune process.
