Hello,

My name is Thatcher and my son is 3. An SP, 2 PT's and an

OT have pointed out his signs of ASD. He has had many of the typical

issues since birth. So this month we're going off island to get him

diagnosed officially.

I was mentioning his problems to my hydrotherapist and he told me

about BTVC. I ordered the book and am following the website.

I started with 2 days of cutting out some major startches that

he had been having and then began the intro diet on March 2. The

first day on the intro diet he began sleeping at 10:30 and either

slept or needed someone to be with him on a futon in the living room.

He was warm (usually is a cold child) and crying. He threw up his

broth with cooked carrots at first but we were able to get some in

him at dinner and he kept it down. Day 2 was a better day and he got

by with just 2 naps and got outside and played. He ate the intro

foods well. He has been straining on the toilet the last 2 days

(despite loads of water spiked with grape juice) with one constipated

stool ea. day (usually his stool is runny or very loose, undigested

food remains and he has several a day).

Since it could take a while for the book to arrive (it's usually a

sloooow boat to Hawaii!)I have a couple questions.

1) I went to the GI Pro Health website and am confused on what is

important to order right now...enzymes, minerals, pro biotics...etc

2) When do I start with probiotics or any of these other things?

3) When do I start him on the yogurt?

4) Since it's illegal in HI to buy raw goat milk and I don't have

access to a goat, can I use canned/powdered goat milk to make the

yogurt?

Thank you sooo much for this group. It has been very helpful. Even

things like the 'toothpaste' info helped since I never thought of how

he likes to eat his toothpaste (along with other non-food items

unfortunately). I hope this post is not too lengthy or lacks the

proper info. This is all is a great 'stretching' excersize for me!

But I really appreciate being able to run this by someone. I'm really

hopeful about this diet.

Thanks for your time and any help,

Thatcher
