New to group

[Guest guest]

I was told about this group from another member of a yahoo group I belong to for NCD. I am glad they told me about this group. Two weeks ago I started giving my 6 yr. old non-verbal Autistic son Miralax. I was giving him 1/2 tsp. around 4-5p.m. On day three, when I put him to bed he was "off the wall" hyper. Running around the room, jumping on the bed etc. for three hours and then waking during the night and staying awake for approx. 2 hrs.. He will usually take about 1/2-1 hr. to finally fall asleep, but he is never that hyper. He has been sleeping through the night since starting Neurofeedback 1 1/2 yrs. ago. (He does have random nights when he wakes, but nothing like before). I didn't relate this behavior to the Miralax until after the third night. On the fourth day, I didn't give him the miralax as he was having about

three BM's per day at that point. That night he was calm and exhausted (I am assuming from the 3 horrible nights of sleep). I stopped the miralax completely. I did give him Omega 3-6-9 for about 6 months, and that made him have a BM everyday. He just wouldn't take it anymore. I also tried Oxypowder, but he didn't like that either. I like the Miralax, because it dissolved in the water and he didn't even know it was there. I give my son 2 1/2 packets of threelac for yeast per day (I am working him up to 3 slowly as to not have severe die off symptoms). 10 drops of NCD in the A.M. and 10 drops of NCD in the P.M.) I am trying two work digestive enzymes into him, but he won't eat the chewables. I am trying to figure out how to get a powder enzyme into him. Does anyone use a "all-in-one" enzyme that doesn't smell or taste horrible? Does the Aloe Juice have a taste to it and if so, how to you get your child to take it? Thank you, Kelley
