Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Reflux can be yeast related. Another thing that sometimes causes reflux is inadequate stomach acid. You can try giving apple cider vinegar to see if it eliminates it. If it does, he needs more acid to help digest the food.

I think that my son, ASD, almost 5, non-verbal, lotsa other issues, etc... my be experiencing reflux. I do not want to put him on conventional meds for this - he was on them as an infant, and I suspect they may have contributed to some of his problems. What other options are there for treating reflux? Are there supplements that can help? Any advice is greatly appreciated. > > Thank-you! > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Seriously Tunde! If there is one thing I have found, is that all of this is a lot of work...it's a full time job - along with actual parenting! We all have strategies to incorporate things we see that work. When something starts working, there usually an incentive to keep up with it...it's daunting all of this information, and the supplements and when to give, what to eat -- GAHHH! I juice daily (twice daily) because I see the benefit to it. Maddie's allergies are gone, and Jimmy is very calm and can sit! 6 months ago, he used to run around while eating. People were like " aren't you afraid he's going to choke? " and I laughed (probably totally inappropriately!) and said " well, that'll slow him down! " -- I mean, really, you are one person, cut yourself some slack. And you know, laugh. See the good and funny for what it is. I remember at the beginning when Jimmy melted down in our local grocery store (and I never wanted to go back) -- you could see the tears welling up in my eyes, and this really great Mom came over and said, " you need a hug. " and I probably hugged her too long. I needed it. She told me, " I lost my son twice at toys r us, you didn't do that, so you're a better Mom than me. " It made me laugh. THis is really tough stuff we are doing. You're the Mom, you know what is best to start with. We are all here just chit chattin' about what worked the best for us. Recycling and polishing up our information. I wouldn't have made it without this board and all the help I have received.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 :Sounds like you just described my son. But my son there was a point he stopped eating (except junk). We ended up doing an endoscopy and they did confirm the reflux but the worst part is that it had gone on for so long that he had ulcers all down his esophagus. Doctors ended up giving him a high dose of Prevacid which healed the ulcers. My son was constantly congested and apparently it was a cause of the bacteria that lived in the ulcers. In my opinion get it professionally checked to avoid further damage to the immune system. T.
