OK so my mom went to the DR today to have an ultrasound on her gallbladder.

The lady was nice enough to let my mom see it and try to explain things to

her so she didn't have to wait for her DR. First let me say that my mom has

had pain in her right side for years and years..she said she hasn't had a

really painful episode in about 4 yrs though (since she had a type of chemo

treatment for hepatitis and at that time she thought things were passing in

her bowel movements but she didn't know what it was). Anyway, the

ultrasound technician said that the gallbladder is only the size of a golf

ball. Is this true? She also said that my mom had 1 stone and that it was

HUGE, she emphasized HUGE but it was only the size of a green pea. Is that

big? Also why would her gallbladder hurt, sore to the touch all the time if

she only had 1 gallstone? She also thinks the woman said it was

calcified..can you see calcified stones on an ultrasound? I know this lady

is not a DR, but can you always see gallstones on an ultrasound, please let

me know! My mom is in the middle of a cleanse right now, but it seems a

little frustrating to have this pain with no end in sight. AT least before

when we thought she may have tons of stones like I have that when she did

cleanses to get rid of them that her pain would get better. Also, I don't

know how big my stones are but the tech said that I have LOTS of tiny

stones. My mom's ultrasound tech acted like stones are the size of sand???

That doesn't sound right to me? What do you all think? Does all this sound

just not quite right? I'm thinking how could they be the size of sand, I

would think they would come out easily and wouldn't even be stuck in there

if they were the size of sand??? Desperate for information, please anyone,

can you offer and insight?!

In addition to the suggestions listed, there are 3 other

possibilities that come to mind. First, is he getting a molar, or

could he be having some type of dental problem? Another cause of

chewing for some kids is yeast overgrowth. A good number of our kids

develop yeast which can cause many different types of behaviors. For

my grandson, however, chewing on toys (usually hard rubbery toys)

and on clothing meant he was low on zinc. We finally purchased zinc

in a cream form to supplement the liquid (we get ours through Lee-

Silsby Pharmacy). He is not great at taking his supplements so he

often doesn't get the amount of zinc he needs without the additional

cream.

A good source of information can be found on " Dana's View " ... just

type in " search " and the first link will bring you there. Dana has

recovered her children who were all on the spectrum. She has a lot

of great ideas and resources. You may want to check it out.

Also, another good source for ASD related supplements from Lee-

Silsby is www.ourkidsasd.com.

Good Luck! I know how annoying this new habit can be. Hope you find

the right solution for Kiernan. BTW, I love his name!!!
