Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 PLease DO NOT Vaccinate your kiddos right now. Get them healthy first. Contact a DAN doctor (www.autismwebsite.com). They have experience inthe diet and nutritional aspects of what you are experiencing. I can hear the panic in your voice. Please, don't do this on your own without the guidance of a DAN doctor. email me privately if you have questions. Prayers for you and your little girls.

I am not sure at all that this is the correct diagnosis since non of the reflux related drugs evert worked for us. Recently our GI said that this is probably severe food allergies... Basically, he doesn't really know what it is or how to treat it. One of the girls is doing much worse than the other. She has been having diarrhea for over 2 months now and there is a lot of mucus and occasionally blood in her stools. She also was recently diagnosed with developmental delays (she is not doing ant babbling yet and is on the low side with her cognitive skills). I am obviously very worried and would appreciate any advice. We tried any formula imaginable and nothing has worked so far. She has been on Alimentum for a few months and was also on Neocate short term - nothing seems to work for her. The doctors don't know what to do. It seems that her system can not really tolerate any commercial formula at this point. Please, please, please does anyone know a recipe for a home made formula that might help? In the " Breaking the Vicious Cycle " book there is a recipe for baby formula but it contains honey which you are not supposed to give before they are 1 y/o. Does anyone have any experience with this home-made formula? Other any other good tested recipes to try? I would be very greatful for any feedback.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 A few things to note.. Children must get on a pure (chemical free) lifestyle and I suspect you are going to try SCD diet..As well as make some environmental changes.. Your babies need to have their home their haven a place where they can begin to heal and not be hit with chemicals ..Think of a barrel and thiers are overflowing with junk..you need to keep the barrel low of these things at home then when they go out in the world of chemicals it is easier for them...I am sorry.. I am sure this is a lot to digest but do one new thing a week and pic away at it..If you can stand doing more go girl! 1) Buy seventh generation laundry & cleaning supplies or something without chemicals.. 2) Shop Whole foods or Cub or somewhere where they have organic no chemical foods and cleaning supplies..... 3) A book called " What the Doctor doesn't tell you about Vaccinations " by Dr Cave You must educate yourself so you can make an informed decision... 4)SCD This is a great diet and it will help you children heal...The most important thing is to get the gut healthy without a healthy gut all other systems suffer..we need our nutrients and this is where to start..There are many here with much experience and help is sitting right at your computer..;-) 5)www.AutismNDI.com another wonderful sourse of science and gut relations.. 6) Supplements you need to get kids set up on supplements especially due to the severe gut issues..as mentioned get a good DAN Dr or someone who is a specialist in functional medicine.(this doesn't mean you abandon your regular medicine both worlds are important..) 7) You also need to care for you..supplements and eat well the kids need you to be well...Without your wellness this will be difficult..drink your water eat good food and get to bed and sleep ... 8)Another book to get " Children with Starving Brains " by Dr McCandless MD 9)Fwew.....print and pluck away at this one by one...a great web site for making your home healthy is www.thegreenguide.com 10) My thoughts and prayers are with you.. hope you find a good doc and you all start on the road to wellness.. There is a road to wellness......... you now have to take the steps to make change..Unfortunately our world is very unhealthy..so we have to make change.. Best Wishes Sandy.... Mom to pretty much recovered ASD and Isaak 6 ASD......I am also a ASD Consultant with Special Ed and Nursing as my background... 1 month SCD / 8+ years DAN Biomedical & dietary intervention..... blah blah blah....and still learning...;-) > > I am a mom of 7 months old twins.
