Anybody else's child turn yellow on this diet? What could it mean? nt.

[Guest guest]

I am aware of about a dozen people (some adults and some children) where

this happens but it does not seem to be restricted to those on diet.

This is our take on the situation but we do not know for certain.

One of the bests bits of data about autism is the fact that people with

autism have very low levels of sulphate in their plasma. It appears to be

markedly lower than in asymptomatic controls. On the other hand, the

urine is packed with the stuff - people with autism are dumping sulphur

like mad.

Thus mechanisms which require sulphation will suffer. The hormone CCK is

responsible for squeezing the gall bladder and bile duct to force the

bile into the intestinal tract. It is also said that the bile itself

needs sulphation. Either way, if there is a shortage of sulphate there

will be a build up of bile pigments and yellowness.

The liver deals with many compounds and tends to use glucuronidation

rather than sulphation - which occurs in other parts of the body. If the

body is overloaded with toxic substances (phenols; pigments; tannins etc

etc) the deficient sulphation system is swamped. As indicates, these

toxins will result in this temporary yellowness.

The liver system (glucuronidation) is probably functioning perfectly but

it is these other systems which are failing.

One could always aid the sulphation process by supplying some sulphate in

the bath water in the form of Epsom Salts. MSM (oral) could do the trick too.

Common-sense dictates that you see your doctor to, at least, report these

incidents. Physicians do, as we all know, vary greatly in the degree of

support they give us. Be prepared for some stiff questioning.

Good luck.

OK. I will call first thing in the morning and report it. He had

jaundice at birth as well. His eyes are not yellow, but the rest of

him has a tinge. I cannot see it for some reason (and could not when

he was an infant - except in pictures, then I could see it), but both

my husband and SIL said they could see it.

Thanks!

, Ethan is going in for the Organic Acids Test from Great Plains

on Tuesday. Will any of this kind of stuff show up?

Has there ever been a bad reaction to using Epsom salts? I can buy

some tonight.

My son has had a yellowish tint for a couple of years. It's not strong

(most people seem to think he is dark complected), the doctor suggested it

was caused by a self restricted diet (he doesn't restrict himself). Your

explanation is the best I've heard. I'm going to be trying MSM and baths in

epsom salts.

Thank you.
