Oxytocin for Autism?

I am not autistic, nor are my children. I have celiac. But my doctor gave me

an injection of oxytocin on my last visit. I've done quite a bit of research

on the internet about it, and discovered last night that they are now seeing

that oxytocin is beneficial for autism, and wanted you to know about it. The

differences it made for me were quite obvious, especially as far as brain

function and social abilities. I've had a real struggle (since being celiac)

with crowds and any activity that is fast paced. It's like I get way too

overstimulated. Anyway, with the oxytocin, it REALLY helped those symptoms.

I felt like I could go anywhere, do anything, no matter how much noise and

hype there was. :-) The downside was that I was quite fatigued, but we are

working on thyroid and adrenals.....and that may have been related to that.

Well....I just thought I'd let you know what I read and my experience with

it. It might be worth looking into for your kiddos.

Have a great SCD day!

This is interesting. I'm wondering if you have to get the injections

over and over? Did your gut symptoms go away?
