Hi I'm also new here and have just been scanning posts for a bit before taking the plunge and asking for some help.

My third child is 8yrs and has autism. He tested 'positive' for gluten issues when he was 5 (paul shattock urine test - However having heard speaking, a positive result doesn't at all guarantee improvement with the diet).

We started Eye-Q. We followed the GFCF diet very strictly for a year (by strictly I mean I didn't let GFCF products anywhere near him and cut out other obvious nasties as well - colourings, additives, MSG etc) I did the diet as well - I suffer from ME and also got the same result from the urine test as my son.

For myelf I experienced no obvious change on the diet. My son showed minor improvements that were not necessarily a result of the diet. There was no withdrawal symptoms or scratching around for crumbs of forbidden foods or anything like that. After a year we stopped the diet and nothing got any worse (although his teacher thought his behaviour worsened in school a little but I didn't experience this at home).

Now a couple of years later I'm looking at possibly going the biomedical route again. My son has never had any obvious bowel issues, the main symptom that tells me something is out of balance are a persistent rash of spots on his cheeks.

Since I have ME myself and 3 other children including a 6mth old I'm very limited for time and energy. I'm also way behind many of you in my understanding of biomedical interventions. Where do I start in looking at how I can help my son. Let me know if you need me to give more info about my son.

thanks

Charlotte

>Hi Charlotte

I personally would recommend a doctors data hair elements test

this can give you a baseline and can also possibly give indications

as to adrenal, thyroid and blood sugar regulation issues.

Hi Charlotte,

So many of us mums have got immune problems - ME/ lupus and similar.

I've got Sjogrens and (similar to Lupus) and had CFS in my 20s.

I was very, very ill after Eddie was born - on sticks etc.. We've all

been doing biomed together (tim and I doing it very cheap) and we've

all had the most amazing health improvements.

We started with digestive enzymes and epsom salt baths (in addition to

diet). Then supported vitamins and minerals, tackled bowel bugs and

then used herbs for other infections. (We consulted with Muscroft).

Best wishes,

Sandy
