Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Nine months was when we began to see unsettling changes in our daughter (now 3 1/2 yrs). This change occurred following her HepB vaccine. The DAN! dr told us to immediately stop further vaccinations and to begin GFCF diet immediately. He based this decision on a sudden change in attentiveness, change in bowel habits, and results from Great Smokies stool analysis. Later tests indicate that she is heavy metal poisoned with early stage autoimmune like our two sons (7 yrs with HFA, and 6 yrs with hearing loss). lisa's responsiveness improved pretty quickly on the GFCF+ diet, and her bowels improved somewhat after 6 months. She appears NT and very bright at this time. We know that her bowel problem won't completely normalize until we chelate her for heavy metals, but that is not financially possible right now. We feel so very blessed that we did a little testing, stopped vaccinations before causing additional damage, and then began the diet with her. I think that she may very well have developed PDD like her oldest brother without the steps we took. Best wishes, Message: 14 Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 19:12:53 -0500 (EST) From: stevynicks@... Subject: 9 month old baby?? Hi, I don't post often here but do try to keep up with this list as i have a son who has been on the diet for 2 yrs now----with great success, I might add! Anyway, my question is about my niece. She is 9 months old and I'm concerned about her. Maybe I'm just alittle paranoid because of my own son, but she is very unresponsive, very rarely smiles, doesn't babble often or much. Put her on the infant swing at the park---nothing---no smile, just a blank stare. But she is still so young.... i would like to suggest to my sister tryng a gf/cf formula if there is one.....what do you think? Any feedback is appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 I agree with . My youngest was just 6 months old when she acquired the symptoms. EVERYONE thought I was overreacting because I have two more on the spectrum who had already been diagnosed. Even our early intervention evaluators were not convinced at 12mo, but I persisted every 3mo for another evaluation until THEY felt she qualified. Geez, you'd think they would consider the genetic circumstances and admit her on that benefit of the doubt. Now it's clear to everyone that she has issues. (She's 27 mo., GF/CF, and receiving lots of therapies) Absolutely, suggest intervention on the Baby's behalf. Peggy Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
