Re: Is this more withdrawal?

[Guest guest]

Even if nothing in her diet has changed, it could be that the products

processing has changed and a small amount of casein or gluten or soy are in

the product. My son used to drink Better than Milk until I found out that

they changed the process and it contained 0.25% of barley. Taken over a

period of time it could affect the children. Once off of this we noticed a

better change.

Just a thought.

margaret,

i don't know about specific schedules for withdrawal to pop up, but it sounds

like a little yeast and bacteria overgrowth might be the problem. are you

chelating her? sometimes, the chelation allows metals to sit in the intestines

on their way out of the body and it triggers a lot of bad bacteria overgrowth.

we had some similar hyperactivity in the evenings going on and found out it was

bacteria related. do you do pro-biotics? have you had her tested for yeast? i

also have a theory about eliminating foods from the diet (and i'll probably get

blasted for this) but i think that once you start eliminating a few offending

foods, other dietary intolerances come to the surface. maybe they were masked

before under the worse intolerances to gluten, etc. have you tested for any

other things like corn? i don't know if that makes them stimmy, though.

also, a lot of parents do stuff in the evenings to promote calmness. magnesium

is very calming and we give him his magnesium supplement in the late afternoon.

there are epsom salt baths too, some parents report problems, but they help our

child. i still think it's yeast or bacteria. we had a wild man in our house

too! he was fine for months, then he started pacing in patterns, humming and

squealing the whole time, jumping off chairs, banging his feet on the walls by

his bed, etc. once we tackled the yeast/bacteria, it was quiet time again.

just my thoughts-
