Hey - glad you made it here :-) I just thought it was worth mentioning

that your son is GF/CF (I think you mentioned that on the

list, right?), because I know the first thing many folks will recommend is

going GF and substituting raw milk for the soy milk. Heidi (a.k.a. " The

Glutenator " -resident afficianado on gluten intolerance) will also probably

ask if you are absolutely certain his diet is GF because there's a LOT of

hidden gluten in many products. And she'll probably recommend taking a look

at the " safe " and " forbidden " foods lists for the gluten intolerant on the

celiac.com site

(http://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12 & sid=91hH9H0-I5EnCwz-521042604

59.89). You'd be amazed at how many foods contain hidden sources of gluten!

Best wishes - I hope you'll find the info you need!

Hey everyone - I'd also appreciate if you could help out - I sent her

here from the Autism-mercury list. There's got to be some healthy

alternative to chocolate soy milk, other than dairy? I think she's putting

her son's CLO in it to disguise the flavor, but she can correct me if I'm

wrong.

Hi

I recently attended a talk by a nutritionist who helps children with

all the above conditions by giving high quality fish oils. She

firmly believes that Omega3 deficiency is the major causative factor.

You should also cut all sugar out of the diet, and I would recommend

cutting out gluten also.

Have you read Nourishing Traditions - if so, you will have read about

the dangers of soy. There is a good summary of them in the recent

archives of this list - if you search the name Groves (the author of

the piece) you will find it easily.

We are giving Cod Liver Oil to him but I need to know how much I

should be giving him on a daily bases.He weighs 43 1/2 pounds.

We have cut out the sugar to my knowledge...and we are working on

getting him off of glutin as well as casin.

No I have not gotten that far in research and I am always open to

getting more books on anything that will help my son....I have won

three books off of ebay in the last two days just on Autism. I will

look for this there as well.

Thank you Jo for helping me with this....Any comments are greatly

appriciated.

And she'll also recommend taking digestive enzymes ... l-glutamine

wouldn't hurt either.

Hi Heidi,

In the most recent newsletter from Dr. Mercola there is an article he

posted by Dr. Blaylock, which suggests that HIGH doses of l-

glutamine are not safe if a person is autistic. This also says this

holds true in quite a few other conditions too. They are all listed.

http://mercola.com/2004/may/1/glutamine.htm

It was the first time I had read such a strongly negative review of

using l-glutamine under certain situations. Apparently there is quite

a lot of controversy around it's use.

Blaylock is super careful. I remember reading his book years

ago, " Excitotoxins:the Taste that Kills. It was a very interesting

book. According to Mercola, Blaylock is highly respected in his field

as a neurosurgeon. Anyway it is an interesting article and worth a

look.

So sorry for the struggles you are dealing with...

Perhaps this is an aside, but I am wondering if any amount of neural

re-development/re-patterning has been suggested? I bring this up

because it was moms of autistic children who most closely related to

struggles we were having with our young daughter regarding sensory

problems (problems with textures, sounds, sensations, misperceptions

of sensations, behaviors caused because of the onslaught of sensory

info, etc.). We had our daughter evaluated and found out she is not

autistic, but very clearly has sensory integration disorder.

We received a plan of action from an OT, with activities and

exercises that are supposed to help " re-wire " the brain to receive

sensory input correctly. Some of these we have done, some we have

fallen down on, but we see a marked difference in her behavior when

we stick to our " regimen " . Activities like swinging, climbing, and

jumping are crucial in my daughter's case. We have noted profound

changes in our daughter with cranio-sacral therapy.

Mothering magazine has long had great articles about autism, perhaps

looking for back issues would prove useful. I remember reading an

article some years ago about an autistic boy with intestinal

constipation so bad that it mimicked loose bowels and was given

numerous things to " stop him up " --during a treatment with a doctor

in England the doctor correctly assessed what happened, and using

laxatives the boy passed this blockage and had a resulting shift in

his behavior. This is just one example of the perplexity of autism,

but it was a fascinating article nonetheless.

Has your son been vaccinated? I know this is a highly contentious

issue, but I firmly believe with our ultra sensitive kid if we had

vaccinated her she would have become autistic!

Very good luck to you, Leann

Interesting. I haven't used it myself ... I have a hard time remembering

supplements, but it does seem to have helped other folks.

I did take enzymes for a bit, but then didn't seem to need them

anymore. We pretty much have given up on packaged foods (the

ones with excitotoxins) because 1) they don't taste good

anymore and 2) it's too hard to figure out what ingredients

are in them.

Woman's World had an interesting article this week ... yeah, it's not

a mag I usually read, but what was interesting is that they

were talking about a book that recommends eating the " European "

way ... fresh ingredients, whole foods, more fat ... as a way

to lose weight. Wow, how radical can you get! Folks in France

are a lot skinnier than folks in Texas though, and I can't

say that they have any more willpower or self-denial!

So I wonder if the current upward trend in Autism and Asperger's

also holds true for Europe? If not, that could be really interesting ...
