Re: gastrointestinal pathology in autism

September 25, 2008

everytime I get a exposure to anything I'm reactive to and depending on

what it is or how string it is or how long I'm exposed, my esophagus

area starts hurting. reading this article really hit home with me.

these poor kids can't say what's hurting them. I still lay on my

stomach when it hurts. it just breaks my heart to think if kids

suffering what we do and maybe haveing parents that aren't paying attn.

I don't understand how anyone could set back and ignore whats happening

here, knowing there are children that suffer and can't help theirself.

I've been noticeing that science just keeps repeating itself without

ever makeing much progress. we don't need a million studies, over and

over again for 20,30,or even 40 years do we? why is this happening.

it's really makeing me lose faith and hope that the human race well

servive. sometimes I wish I had just stayed ignorant.

Reading this paper I noticed that the autism lesions are sometimes

characterized by large numbers of eosinophils. Mold causes

eosinophilic diseases.

For example exposure to large amounts of fungi is known to cause

eosinophilic esophagitis in 100% of mice exposed.

Fungi in the air are one of the stimuli known to cause EE in humans.

Its not just the esophagus, we see in this paper.. its the whole GI

tract that gets effected.

So, Mold exposure is a possible cause of these GI lesions.. I bet you

that this kind of issue is a common issue that hits people who spend

time in sick buildings.
