Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 In my house, those behaviors would have me looking at either ammonia or bacteria. Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~~@midian42~ I really need some help, here. Since Friday, my almost-5 year-old has been having such a difficult time. He's been head-banging, smacking himself in the face HARD, pinching, scratching, biting, crying, posturing, etc... He also had red cheeks and ears and allergic shiners. No one's gotten much sleep since Thursday night. It seems clear that he's in abdominal distress, but we can't figure out the cause. It also seems to scream "diet infraction!!!", but I know his diet is clean. I've upped his yeast protocol, but nothing has improved. Could he have developed an intolerance for something new? I'm taking out rice, too, but am still seeing no change. Maybe it's corn... ? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can do to help him? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I thought the same - 'infraction' -- however, that being said, it sound like an allergy. This is exactly how my son was before we removed milk. New allergy? Corn makes Rob itch like crazy. It made him nuts. Scratching relentlessly..my daughter too. She got rashes (bad ones, I mean, REALLY BAD ones.) That being said, as a sort of - test - to see if the antidote to 'corn' allergy really is: EFA's, Magnesium and Potassium, Histidine, black walnut, kelp and bee pollen. I added Bee Pollen and more EFA's to Maddie's diet, this took care of the bad rashes. (This is according to my book, The ultimate healing system by LePore, ND.) According to this book - the rice allergy antidote is: Pyrdoxine (B6), B12, Manganese, Arginine, Proline, Yucca and Beet Powder. Is there something he likes to eat a lot of (or eats a lot of?) You might want to add more B-Vitamins anyway (because they are anti-stress, and it sounds like he is completely stressed) -- and I would also add L-Theanine. It works really well for me (when I am stressed out.) They also make it in a gum...thought I would throw that out there... some suggestions. Oh, and if it's ammonia, I believe Chlorophyll can render it neutral, and L-Arginine (and ornithine) assist the body in neutralizing it as well. and now that I am thinking about it...it sound like, he's got PST deficiency. ....let me go look, and I will post it.. laura > > I really need some help, here.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Good grief, this is him to a "T"!We just recently switched him from rice milk to almond milk, and upped his Enhansa - doh! These are easy fixes. Hopefully, things will improve after we remove them.I'll increase the frequency of epsom salt baths. He already takes Trienza digestive enzymes.Thank-you SO much for this info - I had never even heard of PST deficiency before. My husband is emailing our DAN about this as I'm writing you. Here are the symptoms of PST Def - Phenols/Salicyates http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/p/phenol_sulfotransferase_deficiency/symptoms.htm#symptom_list It sounds like what you describe...hmmm... Nice article that explains it well...as we have this problem in our house! http://healingautismandadhd.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/epsom-salts-old-wives-tale-or-medical-fact/ So I think epsom salt bath will work, and some digestive enzymes. laura > > I really need some help, here. Since Friday, my almost-5 year-old has been having such a difficult time. He's been head-banging, smacking himself in the face HARD, pinching, scratching, biting, crying, posturing, etc... He also had red cheeks and ears and allergic shiners. No one's gotten much sleep since Thursday night. It seems clear that he's in abdominal distress, but we can't figure out the cause. It also seems to scream "diet infraction!!!", but I know his diet is clean. I've upped his yeast protocol, but nothing has improved. Could he have developed an intolerance for something new? I'm taking out rice, too, but am still seeing no change. Maybe it's corn... ? > > Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can do to help him? > > Thanks. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Good grief, this is him to a "T"!We just recently switched him from rice milk to almond milk, and upped his Enhansa - doh! These are easy fixes. Hopefully, things will improve after we remove them.I'll increase the frequency of epsom salt baths. He already takes Trienza digestive enzymes.Thank-you SO much for this info - I had never even heard of PST deficiency before. My husband is emailing our DAN about this as I'm writing you. Here are the symptoms of PST Def - Phenols/Salicyates http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/p/phenol_sulfotransferase_deficiency/symptoms.htm#symptom_list It sounds like what you describe...hmmm...
