Like many here I am interested in increasing the good bacteria in my child's gut through the use of fermented foods, which is supposedly more effective than probiotics. However, I have read in Yasko's "Autism: Pathways to Recovery" that fermentation results in increased glutamate in the body (fermentation results in protein break-down and any protein break-down creates glutamate). Excess glutamate is a big deal in her opinion and can have significant neurological effects when the gaba/glutamate balance is thrown off. Just wondering if the benefits of fermented foods outweigh this potential glutamate issue and if anyone here has had success with introducing fermented foods into their or their children's diet?
