Re: TERRIBLE hunger, dont know anymore ....

[Guest guest]

My first thought is heartburn, gas and acid reflux. That would

definitely explain the crying. I used to get it really bad. I would

get so much pressure in my chest and burning too. The burning goes

away temporarily when you eat, but comes back again shortly

thereafter. It was absolutely horrible. I could not find a

comfortable position to sit, stand or lie down. Torture is the

perfect word to describe how it felt to me.

My son went through this when we first started bio-med treatment and changed his

diet (removed gluten, casein, sugar and went on to SCD). I also think it was

anxiety and die-off causing him to turn to food to make him feel better. It took

several months for him to stop wanting food ALL THE TIME. We had to put a lock

on our refrigerator because he started climbing inside pulling out anything he

could find!! It was crazy. During this time we learned that he was having

hypoglycemia, which was also driving the behavior. I don't know what exactly

changed other than us learning how to manage die-off better and his body

adjusting to the new diet....but yes, I agree it could be driven by anxiety.

We are now going through an opposite issue, where he is starting to turn down

most foods that he used to eat and only wants squash. This creeped up a week

before this big parasite issue that we've been dealing with and is still with

us. I hope it ends soon because he already has such a restricted diet, I can't

feed him squash for every meal!!

This could be so many things. If he is gaining weight its unlikely to be worms or parasites.

My son went thru this too. Usually physical development/growth spurt is accompanied by brain growth as well. So there, hope that makes u feel better ! Actually when my son started gaining wt, with brain exercises/stimulation, he did make noticable cognitive improvement as well. He is still very far behind though.

What helped during this time was to increase his protein intake - a lot - simply upto the point where he could survive on somewhat normal food portion and somewhat normal gap between meals. That was key for my son - we are vegetarian and he needed more protein. But it was a sudden increase in appetite that was only addressed by increasing protein.

I know this must be a terrible phase to go thru. It took me a long time to figure out that he needed insane increase in protein. I would have never guessed that he would have needed that much protein compared to his needs previously. I still think even with the increase he probably could use more protein, but there are drawbacks to too much protein intake esp. considering poor digestion. But its a phase and as long as u address the food aspect correctly to his needs, he will settle down - until the next growth spurt ! It is very dramatic for our kids. My older son clearly has better growth compared to my younger one, but his growth spurts were not accompanied by dramatic change in food habits. Yes, he would eat more, but not like this !

Anyway, find encouragement in the fact that he is growing and take the opportunity to keep his brain stimulated.
