re: supplements/diet/and hand flapping

April 26, 2001

Debbie,

My son was on SNT and he would constantly rub his 2nd, and 3rd fingers together.

Our doctor, switched him to Nu Thera w/ P5P. The finger rubbing stopped

immediately! Talk in over with your son's doctor, or maybe call Kirkman and see

if they have any suggestions.

Hope this helps,

Kristy in Fl.

Subject: Re: Suppliments/diet/and hand flapping?

My son who remains undiagnosed at this time is 5.5 years old. He is very

verbal and had just speech between 3 and 4. He had several sensory issues

and still does to some extent. Also very small and has digestive problems.

Due to all of this I put him on gfcf with his younger diagnosed ASD brother.

I also just started SNT and probiotics 3 days ago. The last 2 days I have

noticed his raising his arm slightly and flicking his wrist a couple of times

then stops. He can't tell me why he is doing it and I am not sure he is

fully aware when he is doing it. Does this sound familiar to any of you? My

younger ASD son doesn't have any arm flapping issues so I am not sure what

this is in my older son. Can the diet and suppliments bring out some inner

or hidden behavoirs beneath the surface? Will this behavoir go away once my

older son's body adjusts to the suppliments and diet. He tells me he feels

so much better now and he is no longer constipated....we have been GFCF since

Easter. Before that we were for 4 days but on antibotics that we probably

not GFCF.

Debbie
