My son tested in the severe range for ALL foods on his test. Any ideas what

you do then?

Yes,

I have not seen a change with chelation. He is still being chelated.

For the person asking about NAET, Bioset is similar. Ellen Cutler started

with NAET and developed it into Bioset.

My son also tested positive for many, many things. We tried the whole

rotation restricted diet thing for several months, without any

improvements. Since then, we had Bioset-type testing (we did it by muscle

testing and also by computer) and treatment done for all the things he

tested allergic to. I don't know if it helped, other than making ME feel

better, lol! But it is another approach that you could look into. We also

keep working on healing his gut -- we give l-glutamine, digestive enzymes

(we use Houston), probiotics, etc. My guy is 10yo now, quite high

functioning and super-resistant to special diets (along with the rest of my

family).

To me, this indicates 'leaky gut' problems and not really any

particular food groups. When the gut would be *that* injured anything

you eat can be insufficiently digested and thus, provoke a problem.

That is very likely the reason many doing GFCF don't get well and

ultimately have to eliminate food after food after food. Grains and

dairy are staples in the diet, and that is what people eat the most

of. So that becomes a problem first. You take that out and voila! you

see improvment...for a little while. Then you start to notice other

foods the person eats a lot becoming a problem...say, corn and soy.

So you take that out and the person starts to get better again. But

because digestion is still impaired, over time whatever new foods

you are giving are also insufficiently digested, and they in turn

become a problem. So you take those out....and so on and so on until

you wake up one day to find you are on the Food-free Diet. And your

child is living on handfuls of supplements.

For gut healing, some of the best bets appear to be:

- enzymes regularly

- probiotics

- maybe something like Brainchild's (they have basic nutrients. and a

new gut healing formula but I haven't heard reports from anyone using

it)

- reduce artificial additives and highly processed foods

- zinc aids in gut integrity

There are other things to try besides this basic core. Some people

swear by colostrum, others by vit A or essential fatty acids. Some by

aloe vera. You would need to look into each of these and just try

some.

- yeast or bacteria treatments if you need them

Boy are you right! My son is living on handfuls of vitamins. I have him

living in an environmentally safe room. His food is all organic as well as

clothing. Special airfilters. He is on enzymes, SCD, vitamins, and chelatator.

He gets

two dry saunas a day followed by ebsom salt baths. I do bioset treatments on

him dailey. I do homeopathy. He is on Lauricidin. He's had Gamma

infusions,secretin,ABA you name it I've tried it over the last seven years. He

still can

not talk or will not toilet train. His eyes look like he just stepped out of a

concentration camp. I' ve

run test after test and then work on correcting the problem, it just seems

like he got it all. I research everyday unwilling to give up.

My son tolerated no foods. Enzymes helped with many of them, but not all. I

rotated foods with enzymes, to find which ones he

tolerated with enzymes.

ALA chelation removed my son's phenol sensitivity at about round 10. Yeast was

mostly not a problem after about round 50. A few

foods which were previously problems, even with enzymes, started being tolerated

with No-Fenol enzyme at about round 50. My son

lost his food issues entirely, even without enzymes, at about round 70.

He also needed extra B vitamins at about round 50, to heal the gut once the

metals were removed. He did not tolerate these vitamins

until about round 50 or so.

But now he eats anything without enzymes. I hope you can have similar results

with your own child.

have you tried seleniums as per my web page?

http://members.tripod.com/mueller_ranges/links/as_links.html

just in my limited experieice of spectrum adults who might be said to

be surviving and those losing function the principle determiner is

not supplements or wether they have any amalgams but showing some

adventurousness in diet extending into nutrient and mineral dense

offal foods. well maybe supplements as well but its really being able

to eat in a nutrionally profound manner.

Good for you! My son was similar, he seems to have had almost every issue

imaginable. But if you keep researching, you will find

what your son needs.

Good luck.

People ask me which interventions worked to recover him, and I usually assign a

60% number to chelation, the other 40% was from

other interventions.

But your question focused on what helped for food intolerances, and ALA was the

key for the food issues, about 85%. The B vitamins

to rebuild the gut is the other 15%.

Robyn,

I think that he would have to be consuming the food for it to show up on the

allergy panel. A negative result can also be because he has had no exposure

for an extended period of time. We ran into this with my son as well. The

panel is very informative, but you still have to use your good sense with it.

If he is doing well gluten free, and you are comfortable with the diet, then

I wouldn't fix what isn't broken.

No, my son showed up sensitive to stuff he's never even seen, much

less eaten. No, you don't need to eat gluten to find the sensitivity.

Hi

I'm not sure that I can help, but what kind of allergy test did you have.

I.E. Rast, IGE, , etc.

Being sensitive suggests more of a food intolerance rather than an allergy,

which is usually quite different.

Hi

Oranges and in fact all citrus fruits are naturally very high in chemicals such

as salicylates and amines which may be worth looking into, the same goes for

preservatives, colourings and artificial flavourings. What Mercier angie (I'm

sorry I did not get his/her name)

said regarding bottle necking is likely to be correct if this is the case.

Something like the Feingold Diet might be helpful if the above makes any sense.

IMO this kind of chemical sensitivity/food intolerance is pretty common.

Dana and her web-site has been Quite helpful to us regarding this.

Pear Juice is usually the safest thing to give, without the skin.
