Re: ] casein/gluten and apraxia/autism ?

Here is an article with regards to casien/gluten and its relation to

neurodevelopmental disorders. The scientists are only just beginning to 'prove'

what many moms and DANS have observed for well over a decade.... many of our

kids are having intolerences to casien and gluten plus other substances

depending upon the individual.

Check out this article....

http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2007/09/27/autism-study.html

My son tolerates gluten but not casien. Casien congests his ears and hearing.

It is so unfortunate that I discovered this at age 11 instead of age 2 for he

made huge strides developmentally when we eliminated his intolerence. Our kids

tend to be environmentally sensitive and what they eat and are chemically

exposed to does indeed affect a variety of their functions. For instance, when

I take Mark to Mexico and he is seaside swimming every day in the out doors, the

child is magically transformed into a completely NT child. I cannot explain it

nor can I seem to replicate the results at home.... particularly in the winter.

I know that there must be something in our current 'indoor' environment of

winter that affects him but I have been unable to ferrit out the offensive

culprit. Central heating? I have no idea but I have determined one thing in

the last 6 months of eating extremely healthy and organically.... when my child

gets plenty of oxygen into his lungs, eats a diet full of vegies (esp.

spinach).... he absolutely soars! His energy levels are often unstable and when

3 pm hits, he often has fatigue. I give him nuts and he perks up again. This

is definately food/environmentally driven. Because we have come so far down the

therapy road, I really see the difference in him and he really notices the

difference in himself.

I tire of hearing the question, " Mom, is my speech bad today? " We have good

speech days and we have bad speech days.... a lot of it seems to be driven by

environmental circumstances rather than ability. Mark has the 'ability' to

speak perfectly clearly but he is not always 'able' to. It is extremely

frustrating for him and I feel badly about it. Mark will go to a birthday party

and deny himself every goodie because he knows that if he eats the wrong morsel

of food, his speech begins to dissipate or worse, he begins to feel sick.

Because playing with buddies and being neurotypical is far more important than

eating sweets, he usually rejects the standard birthday party menu.

It took us years and years and years to realize this aspect of his dyspraxia.

We still don't understand it and are in a learning curve together on this one.

Janice,

I agree with you environmentally as well. Here in Atlanta is it usually

petty mild weather. Recently it has been cold. Even before this cold spell

Charlie has not been outside as much- and he just loves being outside. He

started showing signs of sensory stuff, hands touching face, ears hair

fingers in mouth after a couple weeks of the Christmas Tree. So it must have

been mold from the Christmas Tree. We removed the tree right after Christmas

and got the OREK tower air purifier and an OREK table Top air purifier. I

have watched over the past week and the sensory stuff has disappeard.

Charlie usually wakes up about 7 or 7:30AM. He has been sleeping in and I

had to wake him about 8:30 this morning. He has even more energy. So

everyone, check out the air in your home. Open the windows or try and get

your little one out side if possible.

I saw this in my kid. No mold as Christmas tree is artificial (lead

anyone). It is freezing here in Jersey but something about outside

helps him. Again, in our case my belief is his liver benefits from

the sun and also the air, Jersey fresh, filled with nasties, draws

stuff out of him, clears nasal passages, and helps the cause. We have

no sensory stuff except in mouth and most if not all is gone.

You know what, now that you mention it, I saw one thing I have not

seen in months the other day. 's face was sort of puffy, in

the mouth area...doughboy like, as if he lost the gains we have had

for so long. It disturbed me but left as quickly as it came, by the

time we got home from a friend's house in Va (a 4 hour drive). I

suspect it was their real Christmas tree.

This discussion about Vit D, fresh air and environment has been very

intriguing. We lived in the UAE until recently and although my

daughter wasn't producing sounds as she should for her age, she seemed

fine. Since moving, our pediatrician noticed potential signs and we

are now several months into the diagnostic process (nothing definitive

yet, but she appears to have hypotonia, apraxia, dyspraxia and one

neuro even suggested mild CP). Anyway, she has ALWAYS preferred the

outdoors and even living in a colder, grey climate, she still wants to

be outside all the time even though she can hardly walk in all the

clothes and snow. I believe she knows it's good for her so I force

myself to go out too (Canadian actually so shouldn't mind the cold,

but 6 years in the desert will make anyone soft

Anyway, I'm so grateful for this discussion board. I'm following up so

much of what I learn hear and although our drs and therapists are

supportive, they have heard of none of this so thank you so much.
