Re: REALLY IMPORTANT ARTICLE ON SPEECH APRAXIA -- possible explanation

[Guest guest]

Interesting . Too bad they couldn't have a more substantial study. Very few

children and only 26 kids actually tested . Please keep us updated on your

childs progress.

This article describes my son almost perfectly. We have had many of the tests

done and are now in the process of changing our diet radically to see what

happens. Hope this helps everyone!

Good luck! We recently removed wheat from my 8 year old's diet (after being on

enzymes for 3 years, and feeling like they were not working as well as they used

to...) She has started using language that I did not think she was capable of!

Her vocabulary has picked up (which is her therapists biggest concern...I try to

imagine that this is the child who had no language 4 years ago!)

We had her in a summer camp for three weeks, and the speech went way down, back

to the point of being unable to understand a lot of what she said... (They

served them snacks, and it was mostly crackers, cheese, etc.) So, I am going to

record her speech today, and then in a month, to see if I am imagining things.

Good luck to you & your family.

My son is 4.5 and we had to self-diagnose him with a gluten alergy. Since

taking him off gluten his behaviors have normalized and now the speech is

starting. Many people do not realize that a gluten allergy can cause

neurological issues, not just physical. His Celiac test came back abnormal, but

not all three levels were high. The doctor and alregist didn't want to have us

change his diet. We did anyway and fired the allergist. Our son in 1.5 years

gluten fee has made a transformation that even we can't believe. He also has a

simillar reaction to dairy. Finally we are seeing some research regarding his

issues, but we continue to fight different doctors. So many of them do not look

at the different possibilites. We are on our road to recovery, but are excited

for all of the kids and parents that may not need to go through what we have

been going through. My words of advice to anyone is to at least test for the

allergies that can affect a child neurologically like gluten and casein.

AWESOME!! Yes, a friend of mine in another group said that she knows a lady on

the TACA group whose son had MRI and they found white areas in his brain/seizure

activity, and the lady did GFCF and supplemented with vitamins/minerals for

about 9 months and when they went back to get another MRI, the white spots were

GONE! The neurologist was so surprised that he is going to write up some kind

of a case study on him for a journal or something. This was from a very

reliable source.

I saw this book on Google books called " Epilepsy " . The book stated that people

with epilepsy should be checked for celiac disease because there is definitely a

connection b/t gastro problems and seizures/epilepsy. Very interesting stuff.

I am glad you figured it out. I think it is great that we have found a possible

cause for our kids' speech problems. If we stop the seizure activity we might

get the speech back! Yea!

We had our DD treated with acupressure for her allergies to foods and her

language has really started to evolve! Best thing is we don't have to limit her

diet anymore...gluten/casein-free can get expensive!

Just FYI...

- What kind of acupressure is this? Could you share the name of your

doctor? Thanks!
