My friend's son has autism, and I have to admit that watching them is hard. I mean, he is such a lovely young man and somehow it just doesn't seem far. What's even worse, it seems that he has some stomach problems, and I would like to help any way I can. Is Pepcid (Famotidine) good treatment for children with autism?

Well, even though he has autism, which really is a severe condition, hard not only for him, but his entire family, he can also subdue to other diseases (unfortunately). That means that ulcers, if he has them, has to be treated. Famotidine can help here, as he treats GERD, esophagitis and many conditions that are caused by increased acid secretion. So, you can suggest that medication.
