To Kim/Glen--My son's updated condition--other biomeds we've tried

[Guest guest]

Hi Kim (and all)--

We have pretty much tried the entire DAN protocol with . A little

history--He was born with anal stenosis, which was undiagnosed until 2

months old, and nearly died of bowel blockage. We almost lost him again at

4 months, due to extreme bleeding out his anus, and no one knew why. We

were medically evacuated out of Europe (military), and sent to Walter

Army Medical Center. There, they said that he could not break down milk

protein, or soy protein, or citric acid. He was getting these proteins from

my breast milk. He was eventually taken off gluten (age 3.5) and corn (age

5), but we never saw improvement, even though he would just wig out if he

got ahold of these things again. We gave him garlic--I baked it in to

stuff--for the yeast, we did metal testing--and he was high in arsenic. The

McCandless book says that ALA is the best chelator for arsenic, and we did

that. He takes fish oil to the Vit A issues, we chelated some with the

heavy-duty stuff, but proceeded with caution on that, b/c of the way he

reacted. We did auditory integration training/OT/SLP, etc, and even did a

round of secretin--again, nothing just jumped out as helping. We also buy

organic food/natural cleaning products. This kid also suffered massive

constipation and had been hospitalized many times for clean outs--and

nothing we'd do helped. I eventually learned of a natural supplement that

really worked for this issue, and he started taking it in October/November

(he was 7.5 then). He started having bowel movements everyday--this is the

supplement I mentioned that I've have to eventually wean him off of, b/c is

has an illegal--we just can't go back to those problems cold turkey! It was

then--when he was actually able to poop--that I decided to go back and

re-read all the books I had on biomeds for autism. (We'd been to Drs.

Kucera and Levinson--both have spoken at DAN conferences if I'm not

mistaken) I e-mailed several authors of these books, and one called me and

told me about this diet. Thinking we'd done all we could do--and having

been under the care of DANs, I'd been out of the loop on what was new to the

biomed world with diet stuff--I thought, " What more could we eliminate? "

:-)

I hope this helps--I guess I could've just said-- " we've left no stone

unturned "

Good luck in your detective work-- is about to turn 8, and I ALWAYS

knew that the answer was out there, and that it would come witih gut

healing.

--mom to (and two more!) has mild autism/severe

gastrointestinal dysfunction, which is getting less severe all the time...

Thanks so much for sharing 's story. Leave no stone unturned for sure!

I really believe diet would help with a lot of medical conditions that are so

rampant today. Hopefully mainstream medicing will embrace this simple concept

in the near future! Good luck with your son - he's on his way to recovery from

all of your hard work!

Kim :-)
