Re: reaction to shaving cream/YES IT DOES Make Sense!

[Guest guest]

Dear Sue,

YES IT DOES make sense...to much! Our son had to be pulled out of pre school

because we couldn't keep him out of stuff that he was sensitive/allergic to.

They where always cheating his diet...not listening to us....and even the play

doe made him sick (gluten allergy to wheat and such). plus God knows what else

was going on there! He has multiple sensitivities, just like me his

mother....Just the smell of some things can make us sick and feel bad....the

gluten in my mascara made my eyes puff up! Plus you are right...these

youngsters can't keep there fingers out of their mouths.......I am an adult and

I cant!.......if anything is on them (not just gluten) that we have a problems

with....yes we will accidentally ingest it! Some say: how can such a tiny

amount cause a problem....LIVE WITH ONE OF OUR KIDS AND FIND OUT!.....I want to

tell them! The immune system is an interesting thing! Think of peanut allergy

and how little it takes for those with this problem.

WE know don't we and it doesn't have to be an anaphylactic reaction either!

Think of home schooling.....it is better in a lot of ways...a little more

challenging...but better when it comes to their health! Some states have home

school support offered that is backed up by accredited teachers and even give a

computer and supplies, paid by are tax dollar! Look into it. In Colorado it is

called " The Virtual Academy " ....He is doing so much better at home.....plus we

don't have to deal with the " germ factory " any more....kids always sick in the

school system making one another ill and spreading those bugs.......we do other

things to socialize! In time as we heal, according to Elaine a lot of these

problems will vanish as our intestines and immune system heal (I once read that

80% of our immune system is connected to our intestines!).....we HOPE and have

faith!

reaction to shaving cream

BJ came home crying yesterday, and difficult to get off the bus. He

also smelled like shaving cream. We had the same problem last week

when he came home smelling like shaving cream. He was " off " for a

while, and then had a manic (laughing) episode during dinner. I have

benn able to trace the bi-polar episodes to certain foods, but they

seem to be pretty good about not letting him eat illegals at school.

(It seems every child in the classroom is on a different special diet.)

I looked at my older son's shaving cream, and noticed it contained a

sugar alcohol and I wonder if this would cause a problem if he's

absorbing it through the skin. He also has a very bad habit of putting

his hands in his mouth without realizing he's doing it, so he may have

injested a little bit. (sensory issues) I've sent a note to the

school and asked them to send me the brand name so I can check it out.

Does this make sense to anyone else?

Hi, Antoinnette,

Home schooling is out of the question - BJ is a foster child and I

HAVE to send him to school. I got him into a decent program about 40

minutes away. He's making progress and I'm content. I have

homeschooled some of my other kids, including my autistic son, who

passed the GED on the first try and is now at the local community

college for his first semester. Homeschooling is great, and I

recommend it to many people. But it's also nice to have a few quiet

hours in the day. I cook for a family of 7, and only BJ and I are on

the diet. The others turn up their noses a lot, but SCD sloppy joe's

made with 3 pounds of hamburger are gone in one sitting!!!
