Re: Weight loss again - calorie supplements ?

[Guest guest]

I am so sorry to hear she is still losing the weight,she is lethargic-so not

burning off the calories taken in-eating a balance of protien and

carbohydrates so blood sugar should be stable-had been eating soy with no

problems during casein free stage and nothing changed except for going

gluten free-Ok I will reasearch possible causes-malabsorbtion comes to

mind-but malabsorbtion problems are most common in celiac and gluten free is

the treatment-not the cause. Parasites? has stool been tested ? very

puzzling, I know how worried you must be-My heart goes out to you right

now-and I will look for answers. God bless F

Weight loss again - calorie supplements ?

children are experiencing weight loss in the initial stages of the diet.

Frances' weight loss and her physical exhaustion/lethargy are now so

significant - in spite of eating a healthy, balanced diet - that the

paediatrician thinks she should be taking calorie supplements. I am really

quite concerned that something may be going wrong but can't find any obvious

" faults " . Could this just be a temporary thing and should we put her on

calorie supplements anyway? We are getting her blood tests back tomorrow

which would tell us if she was anaemic.

So many of these kids are zinc deficient which could contribute ..and also

if they have a yeast overgrowth, the yeast lines the walls of the gut and

does not allow nutrients to be absorbed by the body. Why many of these kids

are underweight or seem not to progress size wise. What about zinc supps

from Kirkmans and pro bio gold from Kirkmans to help with the yeast along

side a yeast free /low sugar diet. My son has finally gained weight thru

this approach . (I dont know one child amongst my autism mom friends whose

kids dont need both of these and have been told to give by the DAN doctor).

Good luck, tracy
