Re: More Hand Flapping & Stimming??

[Guest guest]

Did you start diet and supplements at the same time? If so, stop the

supplements and just see how he does on the diet.

Don't make multiple changes within the same week. One change at a time.

Hi Sophie.  How are your son's stools since he started GFCF?  Have they changed in any way?  And what has he been eating?

 

My son has been on a GFCF diet for 25 days, our biomed Dr put him on this diet and gave him 6 suppliments to take.

Ive noticed more negatives than positives, which is really worrying me.

I rang the Bio Dr yesterday to tell him that my son was showing more stimming signs, and that he his flapping his hands like crazy, and he never really used to flap his hands before he started this diet. The Dr said it could either be that his stomache is inflamed or that he is getting more aware and his senses are more active?

Has anyone heard of this,Im so worried I dont know what to do.

We have only been going down the Bio route for the last month, so Im very concerned.

Hi thanks for responding. His stools have been pretty much the same, in 3 weeks

i think he may of had 3 solid stools but the rest have been his normal as we

call " cement like " but not as smellly.

Hes been eating GF bread with almond butter in the mornings ,for lunch either

pasta rice with tomota sauces with veggies and chicken, sometimes chips (no

coating) with chicken nuggets, mostly home made foods, for dinner, fish cakes ,

cottage pie, lasagne, risotto all with lots of veg, parsley and garlic. All the

stuff I have mentioned is from the " Free From " range in our supermarkets.

Thanks

HI Caryn

Thanks for responding. I did mention that to my Dr and he said not to worry now,

and to carry on. The nutrionist at the clinic should have documented this at the

clinic when she gave us my sons diet needs, but nothing was added, so he

apologised and said to just carry on.

here are a list of the suppliments:

Nutra Flax

Medi Clear

GI Integrity

Mental Sharp

Nordic Naturals

Pancreatic VegEnzymes

Thanks

Hi Sophie,My son did no stimming at all before we started GFCF. The first time I saw him spin, it was after we started GFCF. I couldn't understand why but now I know what caused it in our case. The GFCF alternative products, for example the breads, are really starchy. It caused my son's yeast/bad bacteria to flare causing stimming. After several months of that, we switched to the GAPS diet which allows no grains. All the stimming dissapeared quickly with that diet.My son improved a lot on the GFCF though. Within a month his speech doubled and he could do several things he couldn't do before, for example, riding a tricycle.Gen

Sophie,Look into Low Oxalate Diet. Website is lowoxalate.infoA lot of the GF replacement items are high oxalate. Please don't be discouraged. If you need advice on GF subs that are lower oxalate, you can get help at the yahoo group trying_low_oxalates.

I choose corn or rice noodles over quinoa. I also use spaghetti squash for spaghetti (this is the only thing I make that the kids WOOF down and ask for seconds of!!!)This is a link from my DAN's website:

Life circumstances have made me hate cooking. I used to love it. I grew up and had to deal with non-adventurous people who refuse to eat things. It has made me loathe the process.Anyway, because of this, I take the easy way out. A LOT.

Here is easy spaghetti squash. Buy squash. :-)Place in oven, 350 degrees, about 60-80 minutes. Yes I realize this is not exact. I wing it every time and it usually turns out fine.Turn the squash if it looks like it's getting overdone on one side.

Remove, let it cool a bit so you can handle it. Slice lengthwise.You will see in the center " pumpkin goo " with seeds and strings.Delicately use a fork to try to get out the seeds and wet looking nasties.

While pulling out the nasties, you may notice some regular strands of squash coming up... that is what will be your noodles.Now use the fork to scrape (with the tines) to pull up lots of stringy noodles (everything except the wet goo and seeds can make noodley stuff)

What I do is make sure the kids don't get the stuff that is either too wet or not noodle-y enough. I eat that.Top with your favorite spaghetti topping. We use tomato and meat sauce. You can use butter/ghee/margarine.

There is a more labor intensive way to make it.Split the squash in half lengthwise while it's raw. Remove gunk. Stick it face down in a glass pan of water and bake 350 degrees, ~ 60 mins.This way you won't have to pick apart the goo when it's baked. I have a hard time cutting a raw squash so I do it my way.

The easiest way to describe a spaghetti squash is the bright yellow " uninteresting " looking squash. It is oval, maybe football sized. Almost every supermarket has them. Choose a small one at first in case no one likes it. Bake it about an hour, not the 80 or 90 mins.

Acorn squash are super easy too, good for desserts and breakfasts.

Remove, let it cool a bit so you can handle it. Slice lengthwise.You will see in the center " pumpkin goo " with seeds and strings.Delicately use a fork to try to get out the seeds and wet looking nasties.

While pulling out the nasties, you may notice some regular strands of squash coming up... that is what will be your noodles.Now use the fork to scrape (with the tines) to pull up lots of stringy noodles (everything except the wet goo and seeds can make noodley stuff)

What I do is make sure the kids don't get the stuff that is either too wet or not noodle-y enough. I eat that.Top with your favorite spaghetti topping. We use tomato and meat sauce. You can use butter/ghee/margarine.

There is a more labor intensive way to make it.Split the squash in half lengthwise while it's raw. Remove gunk. Stick it face down in a glass pan of water and bake 350 degrees, ~ 60 mins.This way you won't have to pick apart the goo when it's baked. I have a hard time cutting a raw squash so I do it my way.

The easiest way to describe a spaghetti squash is the bright yellow " uninteresting " looking squash. It is oval, maybe football sized. Almost every supermarket has them. Choose a small one at first in case no one likes it. Bake it about an hour, not the 80 or 90 mins.

Acorn squash are super easy too, good for desserts and breakfasts.

 

Toni,Can you share how you make your spaghetti squash? Assume I know nothing, because I am an AWFUL cook (I don't even know what a spaghetti squash looks like, so yes, I'm that bad). I've just always wondered how to make this. Thanks!

Sophie,Look into Low Oxalate Diet. Website is lowoxalate.infoA lot of the GF replacement items are high oxalate. Please don't be discouraged. If you need advice on GF subs that are lower oxalate, you can get help at the yahoo group trying_low_oxalates.

I choose corn or rice noodles over quinoa. I also use spaghetti squash for spaghetti (this is the only thing I make that the kids WOOF down and ask for seconds of!!!)This is a link from my DAN's website:

I rang the Bio Dr yesterday to tell him that my son was showing more stimming signs, and that he his flapping his hands like crazy, and he never really used to flap his hands before he started this diet. The Dr said it could either be that his stomache is inflamed or that he is getting more aware and his senses are more active?

Has anyone heard of this,Im so worried I dont know what to do.

We have only been going down the Bio route for the last month, so Im very concerned.

Life circumstances have made me hate cooking. I used to love it. I grew up and had to deal with non-adventurous people who refuse to eat things. It has made me loathe the process.Anyway, because of this, I take the easy way out. A LOT.

Here is easy spaghetti squash. Buy squash. :-)Place in oven, 350 degrees, about 60-80 minutes. Yes I realize this is not exact. I wing it every time and it usually turns out fine.Turn the squash if it looks like it's getting overdone on one side.

I like mine baked too. I saw a blog a few weeks ago, and she did hers in the crockpot. She cut it first, and put it in the crock with 1 cup of water. I may try that tomorrow.
