Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Lol! I'm getting sorta rusty on my explanations, so check out this link, it explains it better than I could. But, it being in medical jargon, my " real " explanation is: Our cells do something known as the " Kreb's Cycle " . This is a process by which glucose goes in through the cell walls and the cells use the glucose to produce something called ATP, or adnosine triphosphate. This ATP is actually what fuels many cellular processes, like making enzymes, hormones, and stuff. Through these cellular processes of converting the glucose, making enzymes and hormones, molecular groups known as " methyl " groups are added and taken away. Some kids with autism are known as " overmethylators " because they do it too much; other kids are known as " undermethylators " because they don't convert the methyl groups enough. If I'm remembering all this correctly, and someone PLEASE correct me if I'm not, olive oil can cause an overmethylator to have even more methylation, which can cause problems. If a child is an undermethylator, then the olive oil can help restore the balance. You might have heard that DMG is better for some kids and TMG is better for others. The reason believed is because the DMG is di-methyl, which is only 2 methyl groups to the glycine, whereas the TMG has 3 methyl groups. This is also why it has been said not to give our kids tylenol compared to motrin, because acetaminophen has been found to slow methylation. Methylation is needed when we're sick to help us fight off infection. If our kids are not fighting infection well already, and kids with autism are notoriously bad at it, then slowing methylation might make them less-likely to fight it, which is also one of those questionable things about giving infants tylenol after getting vaccines -- are we further suppressing a baby's potentially-genetically slow infection-fighting ability, triggering potential nervous system damage and contributing to autism. Again, anyone pls feel free to jump in here and correct me! Debi > > Ok I dont need anymore words to add to my list of things to find out what they mean....so please stop! LOL What the heck is overmethylator? It sounds like a car part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Aimee, honestly I don't remember too much about some of this stuff. If you go to http://www.gfcfdiet.com/directory.htm you can find a list of acceptable stuff. Since Allie started on enzymes and is off the diet I've conveniently sweeped all that info into blissful forgetfulness, lol.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Allie takes peptizyde rice-free version. She started at age 4 when we found her sneaking bread. Sounds as if the rash is all over her body it's something from the inside. Typically something like a detergent rash will only be around areas of exposure. Maybe a food she's eating? Sometimes if you do a food diary of everything she's eating you can find a commonality, like 2 days after she eats pineapple she always gets a rash.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I agree. Have you consulted your physician for possible bloodwork? It's important to take care of yourself while dealing with the stress of autism. > Allie takes peptizyde rice-free version.
