Re: Viral Die-Off and Social Issues

[Guest guest]

Hi Sloan,

We've been with Dr. G. since March, so maybe about as long as you. We had some

mild die off with the Famvir, but then he went on anti-fungal too and the

die-off has really ramped up. Our son, too has been more defiant...and rascally!

He's also been really spacey, but seems to be starting to come out of that. When

I read about your son's experience with socializing (yay! he wants to!) I

thought of " social stories " . It sounds like he is functioning at a level where

you might be able to try them with him. One thing I like about Dr. G's approach

is that he emphasizes the need for " remedial " therapy or training for our kids,

in addition to the medical treatment they are getting. Because of their

condition, our kids have missed some social development that for other kids just

happens naturally over time. We have to consciously train them out of their gaps

in functioning academically and socially.

Another thing that might help a lot is to work with the social worker or speech

therapist in your son's school to meet with the kids in his class to talk to

them about what's happening. They are at the perfect age to be enlisted as

" helpers " . Our son still spends most of his day in a contained ASD classroom,

but mainstreams into a 1st grade class for a few hours a week. When he first

started to go the gen. ed. room, the social worked at the school met with this

class and told them about how he was learning some things that they already

knew, and how they could help him. It was great. Kids love to feel like they are

helping with something important, and the ones who are not responding to your

son well now, probably just don't understand, and would do better with some

explanation.

I'm really happy for you and his growing interest in other kids!! Hopefully,

we'll be right behind you soon. Good luck!

Viral Die-Off and Social Issues

Hi All,

Our son, who is will be 6 in July, has been on Dr. G's protocol for 2 months now

and he is doing well. We haven't really had a die-off reaction to the Famvir, at

least nothing dramatic (just a couple cranky days)... that kind of worries me

since Dr. G said that he likes to see a big die-off to know its working. Anybody

else not have a big die-off? I guess the proof will be when we get the blood

work back.

He has also started Paxil 10 days ago and that seems to be boosting his

engagement.

He seems a lot more with-it and talkative, thinking better and better able to

answer questions, but also WAY more defiant. In school (he is in a regular

pre-school), prior to this he was typically reserved and kind of afraid of most

of the kids.... now he is really wanting to interact with the kids. He

particularly wants to be friends with several of the boys in his class. The

problem is he had almost become invisible to them since he has been with those

same kids for 2 years and has been very quiet or withdrawn. Now he is inserting

himself (which is GREAT!)... but in a negative way... He is teasing, or taking

their stuff, or being a pest. And so the kids he wants to be friends with are

ostracizing him and teasing him in return. Oh this is painful for a parent to

see. I know this is going to get him in trouble with his peers, but don't know

how to stop it. Anybody else go through this with their kid? Any advice?

Thanks!, Sloan

Hi there! I just got back from seeing Dr. G with my son last Friday. We were

doing the GF/CF diet for the last several months. When I first started, I just

eliminated dairy, and it made a huge impact on his 'poop' problems here!

I've done a ton of different therapies over the years, seen too many docs,

recently working with a DAN doc, etc. and Dr. G just makes the MOST sense! Love

his protocol!!

The question I have for anyone that is following his diet protocol is since no

grains are acceptable, what kinds of pasta products do any of you use when you

want to make a dish w/pasta?? I have a closet full of gluten free pastas, but

most are made with brown rice flour, corn flour, etc.

I've tried every GF product known to mankind and was so happy to settle on a few

that we all liked. Now, I feel lost trying to stay away from any that contains

rice or corn! If someone could please help I would really appreciate it!

Sloan,

We have been with Dr. G for 2 years and have NEVER seen a big die off. We

had a few days of crankiness like you but that was it. We did not see

changes in our lab work for 6 months. In fact we were really starting to

question the effectiveness of for our son until that 6 month mark. Our

experience has been super slow progress but progress all the same.

We are still cautiously optimistic but really don't see any alternatives out

there that compare to this rationale approach.

Arrange 1:1 playdates. We have done several, often at the pool or a local

amusement park, or to make cookies (anything/anywhere my son is really happy

and at his " best " ), or mountain bike riding & going out for hamburgers with

my husband and the other boy and the other boy's dad. These have really

helped out with my son's acceptance at school.

Hey Sloan,

We didn't have die-off, and yet my boys resonded very very well to the protocol,

so don't worry.  If you do see a big die-off, knowing it's a good thing

absolutely helps you get thru it.

The behavioral stuff will ease up, and at his age, it won't do lasting damage in

his social relationships.  Negative interaction is kind of common, but it is

good that you're seeing that he has an increasing desire for it.  As his

self-awareness increases, and he gets dissappointed and his feelings get hurt a

few times, he will start being able to control his impulses to be bratty a lot

better.  It wasn't until my 2nd son completely stopped playing with his big

brother (because big bro kept hurting him by getting too rough) that my oldest

managed to calm down and refrain from getting carried away.  His brother's

refusal to play with him for a couple of weeks had a huge impact.  So these

negative experiences - once they brighten up enough to start absorbing their

lessons - are important in the overall development of social learning.  Most of

the typical kids have done this at some point too - they were just younger. 

Your kiddo is going to be

younger socially, so for these other 6 yr olds, it's going to be a

little like playing with a 2-3 yr old in a 6 yr old's body - bratty and

annoying!  But I doubt that it will take as long for him to fill in those gaps

and catch on.  It's not always the same time frame that they catch up at.

My oldest is almost 11, and he will get down after a bad day at school, and ask

me why nobody likes him.  We talk, and I try to remind him that he has only

really cared about having any friends for a couple of years, and it takes a lot

of practice.  The other kids who make friends easier have had a lot more

practice at it that he has, so we have to watch them, watch how they act, and

learn about it, because it takes practice and time.  Letting him know that

there is a reason behind his difficulty and that although he can't fix it right

away, it doesn't mean he will be stuck like this his whole life - it takes

away some of the misery and he usually perks up and goes on about his day.

You're seeing good things!

HTH

Yes, does better 1:1.  He has some friends now and we have found that

girls are generally more patient with him, the rub is he wants to play with

boys.  He is going to be on the swim team this summer.  Swimming is good for

him because it is a sport where he can be both an individual and part of a

team. 

 

Best,

Hi Lynn,

I think you can use all purpose flour products basically all the white flours,

that can be white rice flour too .We started Dr G's treatment one month back and

now i use regular white bread and i make most of the stuff like cake, cookies

with all purpose flour so i think you might be ableto use regular pasta as long

asthere is no dairy or whole wheat. I really like Dr g's diet plan which is so

easy than any gf/cf we were on gf\cf/soy /corn and sugar free diet for my son

and life was really bad.

Good to see someone from Charlotte we were there for 4 years and my son was born

there.

Thanks,

Anitha

Hi Lynn,

Welcome to ! Don't stress over the diet. Remember you can have

pasta as long as it's not " whole " wheat/grains. The whole

concept is to limit starches and sugars.

Feel free to email me off list and I'll be happy to answer any

questions.

We do pasta on occasion. I look filor white flour pasta for my son, or even

better is Barilla Plus (but it has eggs, if those are a problem). My son only

gets 1/2 cup or so maybe a couple times a month.

Hi Anitha! Thanks so much! I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing with

this protocol! One more question is can we have regular taco shells since they

are corn??

So glad to have support here! Thanks!

Viral Die-Off and Social Issues

Hi All,

Our son, who is will be 6 in July, has been on Dr. G's protocol for 2 months now

and he is doing well. We haven't really had a die-off reaction to the Famvir, at

least nothing dramatic (just a couple cranky days)... that kind of worries me

since Dr. G said that he likes to see a big die-off to know its working. Anybody

else not have a big die-off? I guess the proof will be when we get the blood

work back.

He has also started Paxil 10 days ago and that seems to be boosting his

engagement.

He seems a lot more with-it and talkative, thinking better and better able to

answer questions, but also WAY more defiant. In school (he is in a regular

pre-school), prior to this he was typically reserved and kind of afraid of most

of the kids.... now he is really wanting to interact with the kids. He

particularly wants to be friends with several of the boys in his class. The

problem is he had almost become invisible to them since he has been with those

same kids for 2 years and has been very quiet or withdrawn. Now he is inserting

himself (which is GREAT!)... but in a negative way... He is teasing, or taking

their stuff, or being a pest. And so the kids he wants to be friends with are

ostracizing him and teasing him in return. Oh this is painful for a parent to

see. I know this is going to get him in trouble with his peers, but don't know

how to stop it. Anybody else go through this with their kid? Any advice?

Thanks!, Sloan
