Re: SANDY/What are the outward signs of yeast overgrowth?

[Guest guest]

We both need to give ourselves a BIG HUG...these kids are not easy! Especially

when we have our own DEMONS in the closet. I always said that I didn't want to

become my father! go figure....we will get through this....at least un like

them/our parents....we know what is going on! I think it is time for us to get

professional SCD consultant too! Will have to wait though until pay day! It

helps when I remind myself that " they are sick " not bad kids...SICK. This helps

me to love them better! When they heal and no longer sick...then I can kill

them! just joking!

Re: SANDY/What are the outward signs of yeast

overgrowth?

Thankyou for your words of encouragement and input. I do think I am

going to start the process for a SCD consult. It just seems like so

much to try to sort out. I look at the High Salicylates and I just

get confused. I would think that if that were an issue I would be

able to consistently link certain foods to his behaviors? I have

felt for some time that yeast might be a big issue and when the

white tongue was mentioned that really did key in. If I understand

it the No Fenol is an enzymes product. I have never worked with

enzymes so I am pretty illiterate here.

I understand the " catch myself yelling and threatening when our son

who has rages acts up....wanting to " kill " him! " especially after he

has cleared every table and counter in my house. Life is so much

better than it was 3 months ago but my nerves are still so raw that

when he starts acting like he is on the edge, I feel myself really

becoming frazzeled. I grew up in a home with a yelling mother and

determined I WOULD NOT BE ONE. I work hard with my older children

to become that quiet gentle mom. When we were allowed to adopt

these two I felt like we had been given such an awesome gift and

worked double hard to be that gentle mom. When the rages started it

seemed like slowly but surely I regressed into the irratable yelling

person that I disliked growing up. I am so working on it again.

Still seeking wisdom and information.

be different! It's like he doesn't even hear me! Things are

getting better though for all of us. I am probably going to switch

to Houston enzymes to see if we can get more help with this rage

thing.

took us up on this...but just in case had a friend we could call

to " play " the doctor!). HE LIVED.... and now his tongue is no

longer coated. My husband's breath and tongue look better also.

Little Bubbles (17 months old) is gone also! Her horrible diaper

rashes have disappeared. Thank GOD...they where horrible! Nothing

worked before this! Now to start over with KiKi!

You made me really laugh. It is true that on a really good day

sometimes you want to 'kill' them just for different reasons.

I too remind myself that it isn't my real Tobias when he is out of

it. I read a book called 'The Explosive Child' a while back and he

said something that really helped me. The author said, 'A child

does good when he can.' It is so true. When Tobias is not having

one of his 'bad' times he is about the sweetest child on planet

earth. We were foster parent when we first got the kids and I

simply fell in love with them both from day one. They both make me

laugh sometimes until I can't breath. I just want the real

personality to be a part of him every day into adult hood.

I know what diet can do for a person as I have beat really bad

migranes with diet. I still get one once in awhile but not the 4

+day ones that used to put me in bed. I know in my heart that it is

the answer for Tobias, it is just the tweaking that is difficult.

Hugs to you too.

You are right that they will grow up and move out. My goal is for

Tobias to move into an appartment or house not a cell.<SMILE>

We have the three birth children and I always thought, from the time

I was a child, that I would have 6 children. At one time we had 3

foster children that I wondered if God would bless us with on a

permanant basis. That didn't happen. Then we got Tobias and

h. For a time I wondered if there was another one out there

for us but decided that Tobias takes the place of 2. LOL

I am so thankful for SCD and this board. It has given us new hope.

In Jer. it says that God has a hope and a future for us and I have

prayed this over my children for.......well a long time. I believe

that SCD is a huge part of that.

For us to want a fourth child is a miracle in itself. After loosing four babies

to miscarriage, now having three....I still think one is missing. If it wasn't

for the hope that this SCD has offered our family in the last month, I doubt if

this would even be a possibility. Sometimes I wonder if we should intentionally

adopted a child with autism....and try to revive them so to speak.... now that I

know about the DAN doctors and this way of eating....it could be one more

miracle waiting to happen! I pray about this every day. We are not ready now,

but feel that their will be a fourth child. When you are a mother you just know

these things.....I am certain you understand.

In a year or so we will know, have so many dreams and aspirations....need to

heal and heal my family for now. Still looking for a MS program that will suite

me and my need to further educate myself. This would truly be a leap of faith

adopting a high needs autistic child. God gave be two biological children with

ASD, and an adopted daughter with Hyperekplexia/mild CP, they are all doing so

much better than a year ago.....this last three months has proven a

" miracle " ...to have HOPE is just the beginning.....we where so hopeless. Our

children just have mild ASD problems, the challenge of a much more challenging

case could be daunting. But when they become your son, or daughter......love

knows no difference....no does it? More than likely they would be considered

" un-adoptable " to too many! Being a little ASD myself....I feel for these

children...because inside....I still am a hurting child who is now being able to

heal.

Hi Antoinette,

> where talking about adopting again when we all feel better in a

> year or so! Some strange form of insanity????????

Well, if wanting to adopt again is insanity, I've got it too! My

daughter's adopted and yet a few weeks ago I went searching through our

state's online " waiting child " list looking for 2 or 3 sibs...Fell in love

with a terribly skinny but smiling 7-year-old girl, her solemn two-year-old

brother, and their even more solemn one-year-old sister (medical problems

and possible developmental delay). Can't stop thinking about those kids!

But I've got to first my first kid first, before we can even consider

adopting again...
