Did we have our first infraction?

[Guest guest]

Last week my son got a hold of a tiny bit of cookie at ot (another

childs) and for the last week he has been toe walking and screaming

(these are not even his behaviors!) and speech has gone seriously

downhill (a flower used to be a flowery to him now it is a fwee).

Could the diet really be to blame? Please tell me he is not just

having another permanent regression. He seems to be coming out of it

a bit now but is not back to normal yet (7 days later).

When my son got a single goldfish cracker he screamed for hours. He

stopped using the new words he had just gained and his diaper smelled

really bad. His overall systems seemed worse. It took about a week

for him to go back to normal.

,

We use papaya enzyme from the HFS, usually 1/2 tablet for an average

infraction of about a mouthful of food. Also after almost 11 months on the

diet it looks like things are changing much for the better re. infractions.

I also think this is being greatly confounded by the fact that my son's

taking selenium and zinc to treat a skin problem.

Anyway, could you please explain about the epsom salts? I've seen this

discussed on the list but never understood what it was about. Is this a way

to treat an infraction? If so, can you please explain how much, when, how,

what it does, and anything else about it? Are epsom salt baths a good thing

in general, i.e. what if I took an epsom salt bath with my son, say once/week?
