Bill,

We have taken Brett (my 3yo ASD son)to Dr. several times.

Although he is open to " progressive " things, like the diet, he is a

big fan of double-blind placebo controlled studies. Every time we

see him, he asks if we still " believe " in the diet, like it's a fairy

tale or something.

When last we asked about it, he didn't offer secretin himself. He

was part of a large secretin study, and he says that the benefits

were just slightly higher than the placebo group. However, he told

us that if we'd like to participate in the ongoing study, he could

hook us up with the people (in Bethesda, MD, I think) who were still

conducting studies. We have so many irons in the fire now that we

haven't tried it (yet).

He put Brett on a course of nystatin (for yeast- it didn't do much),

and on flagyl then ioquinodol for a persistant blastocystis hominus

overgrowth (which also hasn't worked - time to test the whole rest of

the family!)

All that said, he is a very nice man and very concerned with the

problems faced by autistic kids. I think he probably would be

helpful with your son's reflux problems.

Good luck-

Sue

Are you looking for a Dr. who will provide secretin? If so, email me

offline, anyone actually who is interested. We have been using it for over

4 months.

We were referred to Jeff (by Dr. /Children's Med. Grp.) and have

not made an appointment yet. On my initial contact to set an appointment

the woman I spoke w/so was rude I decided to check elsewhere. I've also

been referred to Edith Pilzer she's in the same group.(hope to encounter

another appointment maker)

We don't have reflux just gut issues.

What piediatrician do you use...I'm in Atl too!?!
