Desperate plea for help! Long, but please read!

[Guest guest]

Please, someone help me figure out how to help my poor little son!

has seizures and autism and is 9. There has never been any

medical help for the seizures.

We started the diet in May without the yogurt and we saw amazing

things. Better things than we have seen since we restarted the diet

in early september. My sister insisted on sending him to an " amazing "

chiropractor which we did. regressed horribly and we quit and

restarted the diet in september.

We have had some gains, we have seen his stool firm up and then turn

mushy. I will not quit the diet. If it works for others, it will

work for my son.

Last night around 9:00 he started having muscle spasms, his legs were

twisted. He has alot of them and then he started having grand mals.

We gave him charcoal, which didn't help. We haven't seen his grand

mals this severe in years. It was horrible. I thought we might lose

him. You could hear rattling in his lungs even though we had him on

his side. years ago, this would have been a trip to the emergency

room where they would huve drugged him and it wouldn't have stopped

the siezures. By 2:00 a.m. my husband rememeberd that the last dr

said to give calcium every 1/2 hour til the seizures stopped. We

threw in a little magnesium with the first dose and after the second

dose they stopped. We went to bed at 4:00.

This little guy is so sweet. He has suffered so much through the

years and yet he'll just smile at you with the most beautitul smile

that melts your heart. His life is heartbreaking. We want to help so

much but it seems like we fail.

I will be giving him an epsom salt bath this morning, I have been

pretty much been doing this everyday. We cannot have tonight be a

repeat of last night. He can't handle it and we can't either.

I need to figure out what to feed him right away. There is not much left.

Yesterday I gave him salmon because the chicken, I discovered was

making him a monster. This was all of a sudden, he had been fine with

the chicken. Later I can figure out which chicken source because I

started using a second source. Yesterday I also increased his CLO

from 1/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp. He had been on that one week.

These are the foods that he can have and that we have tried.

Carrots no

eggs no

grape juice no

gelatin no

chicken unsure

beef unsure

acorn and butternut squash no

apples no

bananas unsure

honey no

green beans YES

spinach no

All the food is pureed, peeled and cooked.

Beans are the only thing we are sure of. Some of the food caused wild

aggressive behavior, some loose stools.

I had restarted the intro 1 1/2 weeks ago and I was determined to go

slow, which I have.

I restarted the intro while leaving in the 2 cups of dripped yogurt a

day. Maybe he can't have it. I didn't want to stop it cuz it took us

so long to get up there with it.

Should I discontinue the yogurt and see what happens? Should I feed

him beans and chicken today? I don't know what the chicken will do.

Sometimes his aggressive behavior borders on hysteria.

Why isn't his stomach healing? Or is it healing? Is there something

else going on? Are there any tests I should have done for him?

Please please please someone help us.

jo,

I hope that others can give more help. I am not familiar with seizures.

Part of what you might be experiencing might be die off symptoms.

Have you tried green tea for die off symptoms?

Jo,

I am brand new here, but I do know that magnesium is a good call for

any kind of spasm. I take it for insomnia. My 10yo, who is on

behavior meds, gets one every morning to combat aggression. If your

son is getting yogurt daily, he may have enough calcium already, but

the calcium/magnesium ratio is important. Is he very ticklish? That

can be a sign of a magnesium deficiency. From what I've read,

magnesium deficiency is rampant in this country. I'm so sorry for

your scare last night--that must've been awful. How are things going

today?

Hi

I have a 10 yr old---- he has autism and has suffered also for 9 1/2

years with severe stomach problems, some days fine...others terribly painful.

We are on day 15. He has " attacks " of aggression... fine, then WHAM! Slamming

doors, throwing xmas ornament boxess down the stairs... dug nails into my face

once when caught me off guard. He has thrown up twice recently. His sleep is

horrid...he wakes up in pain... 2-4am every night. I am a zombie...and all I do

is help him get thru this and start the diet,,, and try to be a sort of mom to 2

other kids... and somewhere.. my laundry and christmas crap to do is

waiting....and I am just putting it all off until things lighten up. He has

been unable to attend school since we started... but I must add... he was in an

ACUTE point when I started the diet... he had had a severe time after a bad

reaction to me giving him fluoride (as per my doc and dentist.. stupid me)...

rashes all over and stomach went horribly nuts... and two months of hell later,

here I am...

This is what I think:

I think he is having terrible die-off. He was a sugar carb junkie with a

history of lots of antibiotics (only til age 3- now ten-- but that was enough),

shots triggered reflux at 2 months of age, which is when his stomach died.

I think the buggers are sending ammonia and other crap into his body to make him

go get his carbs. I think he is getting a terrible urinary tract infection

(pediatrician called it URETHRITIS - a boy version of UTI, not detected reliably

with urinalysis, but still very pain, swelling, etc. usually resulting from very

acidic toxic urine )... his peeing is sometimes spotty... he is now wetting the

bed every night (did not when well) and was not violent when well...

I give him:

- up to 3 epson salt baths a day now... depending on need...

- watermelon (a big slice, pureed and strained and put in huge 60cc syringes

usually 3-6 at a time) and do that every

time he is freaking out...

- pure cranberry juice.

- herbal remedies for UTI and stomach healing

- charcoal and when a little doesn't work, I give a lot.

All these things take him from a crazed boy with wild red eyes trying to hurt

me... to my sweet boy saying " thank you for helping me " and signing as he

says... sometimes, he bursts into tears...

This is very hard.. but 10 years of his pain has been hard to... if this can

1-cure his painful stomach and 2- take away his painful chronic UTI

infections.... it is so worth it to me.. so I try to be very strong and say...

it's like giving a diabetic child insulin... you don't stop cause the needle

hurts. (I talk to myself alot... who else wants to listen?)

well... don't know if this helps anyone else...and I am not threw it even

closely... it is 750 am..and I've been changing sheets, made a turkey (cause he

likes that meat (but only since diet--yeah!! he eats it 2-3 meals a day!! and

it's good for beginners), gave him about 1/2 a whole watermelon, 8 charcoal

capsules, he threw up, wet the bed... washing sheets, a throw rug (not it that

order)... and finally got him back to sleep (thank god)... up since 3am... only

went DOWN at 11pm.

(and it's been like this pretty damn consistently since diet..)

I am being tested... how long can I keep my hand in the fire?

Will the world end if xmas cards are not sent?

If the bathroom isn't cleaned?

If the laundry never makes it to the drawers?

I don't know.. but I am trying to save his life.

well, gotta go get my 5 yr old up for kindergarten and try to be a normal mom.

Good luck

Anyone have any help to suggest to ME, feel free.

Hi

I so totally understand what you are going through. We have no choice

but to keep going. If we don't do it for our children, who will? At

least you are on the right path. You sound like a wonderful loving

mother and your children are lucky to have you.

I will remember you in my prayers.

Is there something wonderful about watermelon that I am missing?

Please let me know. It sounds like it might be something to help

. I am always hesitant to use too much charcoal cuz it absorbs

nutrients.

Have a nice day . Sometimes when we feel like we can't go on,

the load gets lightened.

,

Hang in there!!! You are a great mom and your kids are very lucky to have you.

Yes, sometimes we overlook our other family members but it is very much

understandable why. Do not give up, keep going and I'm sure soon will

start getting better. It does sound to me like die-off. My son is only 3 yrs 8

mos. but when I took away all of his junk food and started GFCF he went

bonkers!!!! Then after 6 weeks I realized he needed a better diet and I put him

on the SCD and bonkers AGAIN! very aggresive, very irritable, screaming and

trantrumin. Finally after 3 weeks of SCD he is getting a little better. He

wakes up happy and he is not as irritable as before. I don't know how long your

boy will take, probably a little longer since he is older and had a much longer

period of time with foods that were not good for him. But my point is, hang in

there, HE WILL GET BETTER! Keep pushing and you will see.

Good luck and keep us posted!

These are the foods that he can have and that we have tried.

Carrots no

eggs no

grape juice no

gelatin no

chicken unsure

beef unsure

acorn and butternut squash no

apples no

bananas unsure

honey no

green beans YES

spinach no

All the food is pureed, peeled and cooked.

Beans are the only thing we are sure of. Some of the food caused wild

aggressive behavior, some loose stools.

I had restarted the intro 1 1/2 weeks ago and I was determined to go

slow, which I have.

I restarted the intro while leaving in the 2 cups of dripped yogurt a

day. Maybe he can't have it. I didn't want to stop it cuz it took us

so long to get up there with it.

Should I discontinue the yogurt and see what happens? Should I feed

him beans and chicken today? I don't know what the chicken will do.

Sometimes his aggressive behavior borders on hysteria.

Why isn't his stomach healing? Or is it healing? Is there something

else going on? Are there any tests I should have done for him?

Please please please someone help us.

Still mushy stools. I've discontinued the yogurt. I have to see what

will happen. He seems to be very sensitive to everything.
