He did it--and we're glad...

October 31, 2006

Half an hour after his first dose of probiotic at

dinner last night, our 7yr/asd had his first b.m. in 6

days. Thanks to all for the help-- we tried all the

dietary interventions and were just about to give

magnesium citrate. He has felt much better today and

is frequently asking for the epsom salt baths. Is it

safe to give him 3x day? All three children have good

appetites but still look pale with dark circles under

eyes.

Our biggest concern now is ann (4yr/nt) as she

seems to be much more affected by this than either of

her brothers. She is literally climbing the walls. I

am constantly pulling her down from countertops and

tables. She is toe-walking, having headaches and

getting rather errr--combative with her brothers. All

she wants to do today is watch the same video over and

over. Noises that never bothered her are now causing

her to scream and cover her ears crying: " stop,

Stop...! " I hate to write this, but it's as if our

only NT child is becoming autistic. Please help me

understand what is happening. If this is " die-off "

still, when should I hope for a sign that she's coming

out of it? Why is she having such a hard time? I'm

giving them the charcoal, doing the baths and trying

to keep up with their ever-growing demands for FOOD!

I don't seem to be able to console her as she is often

crying and trying to climb up me saying: hug me, hug

me. I am sorry if I am writing too much. We are at

day #7 and I'm feeding them the following: eggs,

ground beef, chicken broth, carrots, scd gelatin,

diluted welch's grape juice, pureed butternut squash,

pureed cooked pears, seeded cooked zucchini and a

little honey, little banana and little oj/prune per

scd to help with constip. Our 22 mos/asd boy can now

pronounce " french fries " perfectly, but all for

naught!

Thank You,
