To determine whether children with autism have an increased incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms compared to matched controls in a population-based sample. In a previous study including all residents of Olmsted County, MN age < 21 years between 1976 and 1997, we identified 124 children who fulfilled DSM-IV based criteria for a research diagnosis of autism. Two controls were identified for each autism case, matched on gender, age, year of first registration, and duration of follow-up. Through the Rochester Epidemiology Project, all inpatient and outpatient diagnoses, including GI diagnoses, are indexed for computerized retrieval. GI diagnoses prior to 21 years of age were grouped into 5 categories: 1) constipation, 2) diarrhea, 3) abdominal bloating, discomfort, or irritability, 4) gastroesophageal reflux or vomiting, and 5) feeding issues or food selectivity. The cumulative incidence of each category was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards models were fit to estimate the risk ratios (RR: cases versus controls) and corresponding ninety-five percent confidence intervals (95% CI). Subjects were followed to median ages of 18.2 (cases) and 18.7 (control) years. There were significant differences between autism cases and controls in the cumulative incidence by age 20 of constipation (33.9% versus 17.6%; RR=1.97; 95% CI: 1.25–3.10; p = 0.003) and feeding issues/food selectivity (24.5 % versus 16.1%; RR=1.95; 95% CI: 1.18–3.24; p = 0.009). There was no significant association between autism case status and overall incidence of GI symptoms (RR=1.21), diarrhea (RR=1.34), gastroesophageal reflux/vomiting (RR=1.55), or abdominal bloating/discomfort/irritability (RR=1.03). We found that children with autism had an increased incidence of constipation and feeding issues/food selectivity. Since these symptoms often have a behavioral etiology, our population-based data suggest a neurobehavioral rather than a primary organic gastrointestinal etiology, may account for the higher incidence of these GI symptoms in children with autism.
