Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 I can answer the question about flax seed oil.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 What are probiotics? I just ordered Alyssa the SNT and DMG. Can't wait to see what happens! April Oh! I have another question. Alyssa has been GFCF for about a month (as far as I know). She only has sleeping problems on occasion, but recently she has been waking up crying sometimes every night. Usually between 2-4am. Could something be causing this that I am not aware of? I thought it was being in her new room (we just moved here June 1st). I have made her an appointment with her doctor. Could someone please make up a list of what tests to have done. The only test that has ever been done is for lead. What do I ask for? Also, she has been hitting herself in the face again. It is better since we started the diet, but now she is hitting her wrists on her teeth and they are all cut up. Any suggestions on how to redirect this? Or some way to wrap her wrists, SOMETHING!?! So far when I try to get her to stop she just starts hitting her face instead. One more then I'll quit. I have been doing a lot of research on ABA. I want to start this asap. Can I do this on my own? I know that I am going to have a hard time with the school and haven't found any resources for it in all of Oklahoma so far. I am going to fight them, but I don't want to wait for them to come around. I just ordered " Let Me Hear Your Voice " and " Behavioral Intervention for Young Children with Autism " . I also joined the DTT-NET group. I have noticed that most of your kids all seem to have some speech. Alyssa does not. Will this help? I know she can talk, b/c she'll blurt something out about once every few months or so. After starting the diet she said something several times over the course of a week, but nothing since. Am I just getting impatient? Thanks (yall are such a BIG help!!!), April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, you will be seeing what you have seen up to now when on g & c. The bad things I saw in my son were: endless tantruming,keeping from eating (unless he would get what he wanted: G & C),extremely hyper, and so on on this matter. ) When he has an infraction, he will go " up the walls " and will never sleep, giggles like crazy and wakes up at night etc. I think overall he'd drink more too, but that's not a thing really, I believe. Also his stools started looking different, and did not get better right away but worsen; then all went back to normal. I have heard of kids searching for G & C in other things, like dog food (pretty desperate); it's like for a drug addicted to try and find a way to get " stoned " out of lighter fluid in those " bic " lighters or the gas from the hair spray. Of course, your son will not look for drugs, just G & C containing foods; so read labels carefully, and always doubt yourself twice when you find something he really likes, at least in the beginning. *** > Second - > > How will taking all gluten and casien out of the diet help sleep?

Calcium is a big " soporifer " (sp?); so you need to supplement that. Calcium, Magnesium, Folic acid, Zinc, are all great help for hyperactivity. if you start any supplement, space them two to three weeks apart to be able to confront results before and after the use of a specific supplement. We did melatonin too for seven weeks, and we still supplemeted so that worked fine for us. But my son has a problem with highly phenolic foods, so I cut those out after lunchtime, and that helps in the evening (giggling and hyper has bettered and melatonin started working). *** > Third (sorta off the subject)- > > Does anyone know if g/c allergies can look like childhood diabetes? > Excessive thirst, bed wetting, moodiness, zoning (recent onset - > coincides with new preschool)? This isn't for me...my SIL.

Just > curious if anyone has any input or thoughts. *** I am not sure of the connection between diabetes and ASD or GFCF diet. But I always thought of being dehydrated for his first two yrs of life before the dx, b/c he would never ask for anything. Now he drinks a lot. the problem with that is if he drinks but not urinate aenough; than that's abad symptom, b/c he takes in liquids, but the liquids don't come out: tho, you should also notice water retention in that case. My understanding is, that soy is under study (or so) because it showed as having the same amount of peptides that G & C have, thus the same effects on the ASD brain. We try to avoid soy, tho we have not eliminated it completely. Hope this is of some help. ) Cristina-WA Proud mom to 4.9 yo ASD, & 2.1 yo NT twins. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son will twirl sticks in front of his eyes and have the giggles all day long. This does not occur when I use enzymes with infractions.

For my family, food allergies cause thirst, moodiness, and zoning out. Mostly the high phenol foods from the link above. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
