Could autism really be a gastrointestinal disorder?

Autism Bacterial Theory
I have heard a lot of people tell me that changing the diet of a child with autism to be gluten free and can make a big difference. I am not so convinced mostly because of the expense it entails and trying to get my children to do without bread will be a challenge. Thoughts?
David Suzuki recently did a documentary on this:
QUOTE A fresh perspective on autism research with the developing "Bacterial Theory" of autism. The fastest-growing developmental disorder in the industrialized world, autism has increased an astounding 600 per cent over the last 20 years. Science cannot say why. Some say it's triggered by environmental factors and point to another intriguing statistic: 70 per cent of kids with autism also have severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Could autism actually begin in the gut? The Autism Enigma looks at the progress of an international group of scientists who are studying the gut's amazingly diverse and powerful microbial ecosystem for clues to the baffling disorder

I saw the documentary last night and it was eye opening. We plan to introduce probiotics to our children to see if it can counteract the effects of neuro toxins that may be affecting their brain. Basically, the theory is that autistic children's digestive tract contains a bacteria that releases toxins into the blood that make their way to the brain. Once there these toxins switch on/off areas of the brain that control autistic like tendencies.

Researchers organize to decipher possible role of gut bacteria in autism
"Mounting evidence shows us that there is a link between the gut and brain; that the gut may have previously under-recognized influences on cognition and possibly even behavior," Said Dr. Frye, a leading autism researcher who serves as Director of both ACH's Integrated Autism Research Program and Autism Multispecialty Clinic.

Tests show no specific gastrointestinal abnormalities in children with autism
Children with autism have no unique pattern of abnormal results on endoscopy or other tests for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, compared to non-autistic children with GI symptoms. Ref. Source 3q.

A single species of gut bacteria can reverse autism-related social behavior in mice
The absence of a one specific species of gut bacteria causes social deficits in mice, researchers report. By adding this bacteria species back to the guts of affected mice, the researchers were able to reverse some of their behavioral deficits, which are reminiscent of symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in humans. The investigators are now looking to explore the effects of probiotics on neurodevelopmental disorders in future work. Ref. Source 5j.

Treating autism by targeting the gut. Therapies to change the bacteria in the gut, through diet, pro-and prebiotic supplements, fecal matter transplants or antibiotics, could treat autism. A review of six decades of research linking the gut to brain development could pave the way for cheap and effective treatment. Source 5u.
