Re: Nutriiveda and Diarrhea

[Guest guest]

It's probably because she's been sick for 2 weeks Demi- that's really hard on

her little 10 year old body. How's it going with the absence seizures? Any

since being on the nutriiveda? (just read Mel's update on the blog and Mel is

seizure free for the 2 months on nutriiveda!!!)

It's not that the diarrhea 'can't' be from the nutriiveda -but typically that

would be a sign in the first few days if ever -it has not been reported here by

anyone else -or that I know of. If she wasn't sick for 2 weeks that would be

different. Is it possible that she's just run down? Can you leave her home

from school for a day or so to just rest?

One thing I can say is I found your update from a few days ago and I find it

amazing that she's having the surges she is having considering she's been sick

for 2 weeks!!!! Are you doing the BRAT diet right now for her? Banana, Rice,

Applesauce, Toast and Tea (actually I guess the BRANT diet haha -oh come on you

guys know what the N stands for!)

Below is your past messages -I say home from school tomorrow and BRANT for a day

or so! Make sure enough liquids!!

Our Nutriiveda experience so far

During these first few days she was acting up at school though.

home but now she started to say the full word. Â On the 6th day she repeated the

word yes and spontaneously said hello (she always says hi and not hello) . She

was constantly laughing at shows that day and paying attention to them. She

also tried to trick my husband. He was taking her to brush her teeth in the

washroom. She then stepped behind him and waited for him to go into the washroom

and then took off on him after he had gone in. She did not follow him in. The

school though reported a difficult day that day. She kept putting her head down

and not wanting to work. Not sure if it was the cold or Nutriiveda but at home

she was ok.

> On day 7 she said her name in full (). She usually says (cole). By day 9

my husband and I noticed her face was more expressive. She also tried to say her

two word combinations more and tried real hard to put three words together. Day

10 today- she was more chatty this morning. I asked her a few questions and she

answered me with simple one word responses. Today she also went into the

kitchen and opened all the kitchen cupboard doors to see what is inside. She was

also listening well today.

seizures. I was giving her Krill oil but stopped this. The ProEPA and ProEFA

which I had used in the past did help her initially but then it plateaued so I

had switched to Krill oil based on a doctor's suggestion to see if this worked.

sleeping well but I noticed is taking longer to fall asleep. Today I tried to

get her to write her name as her fine motor is weak. She held the pen okl and I

let her try to write her name on her own as I always hold her wrist for

strength and better control. She did do it but it was still big and all over

place but she still held onto the pen on her own the whole time. Usually if I

don't hold her wrist she will just drop the pen.

I am just wondering as she is on a seizure med and so I want to make sure

she loves it. It tastes just like chocolate pudding.

Hi ,

Â

Interestingly the therapists and the teachers have not really said much. My

daughter actually has been more assertive at school lately and wanting her own

way so they are considering this as behaviours. She is trying to speak more

though and is using two word combinations more but like I said also causing

them grief. Hopefully this will stop soon and she will do great in her

academics and pay more attention to her work rather than trying to get out of

work.

Â

As she has been sick though I am dying to see how things go once she is over her

cold. Hopefully her academics will pick up more and so will her speech and I

will get lots of great reports.

Â

She is currently in a regular school and is in grade 4 but has an EA by her side

all day long and she is in a modified program. She follows the regular

curriculum but they make it easier for her and have pictures and an aid with her

as she cannot communicate well.

Â

As for her absence seizures for us these were controlled by medication but every

so often you would see one small one break through as she is on a low dosage of

seizure meds. So far I have not seen any small break through ones yet but she

has not been on Nutriiveda long though. I am hoping they will be gone. I will

discuss this with her neurologist next time I see her.

Â

Thanks so much for answering my questions. It is always so comforting to know

you are all out there and we have one common goal-- to help our children.

Â

I will continue to keep a log and report back to you all every so often to

update you.

Â

One funny thing my daughter did yesterday was go to the kitchen, grab the

container of Nutriiveda off of the counter and bring it to me so she could have

some and said (eat). I guess it has her seal of approval :-)

Â

I do have one more question though, do you think I should start my daughter on

Pro EPA and Pro EFA again ?

Â

New stuff today- When you tell her to look at you she will now look at you right

into the eyes. My husband mentioned this today that he has noticed it much more.

So it looks like she is trying to focus more. That is great ! She has also been

pulling at her tongue a lot and playing with it.

Â

Thanks,

DemiÂ

My almost six year old son has had fantastic gains on NV!

He has also had 5 days of major diarrhea for the first time in 3 years!!!

I have been thinking that the biotin in NV is causing yeast die off or some sort

of detox is happening which would be great!?!

I could be wrong but that's my theory! I'll keep you posted on our status.

Good luck

Subject: [ ] Nutriiveda and Diarrhea

Date: Thursday, February 18, 2010, 9:44 PM

 

I was wondering for the last three nights my daughter has had diarrhea. She has

been on Nutriiveda now for 2 weeks. She has also been sick with a cold for about

the first week and a half while on Nutriiveda so I am not sure if the diarrhea

is due to the tail end of her cold or if it is the Nutriiveda. Could

the diarrhea be due to the Nutriiveda ? Any comments would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Demi

Hi ,

 

With respect to the seizures, I am not sure if they are gone yet as they were

controlled with the medication and she is still on the medication. I am hoping

they are gone like 's and may ask for an EEG soon.

 

Something funny and good ::Last night, I heard my daughter bouncing on my

excercise ball in our basement rec room while she was watching a show. She was

lying on the ball with her feet up and was going back and forth pushing (or

better yet may I say hitting) the TV with her feet so she could bouncing off to

get momentum going back and forth with the excercise ball. She does this every

so often.  When I heard the banging on the TV I went to the basement door and

asked that she stop hitting the TV with her feet and to please go and sit on

the couch and watch the show. 

 

As I know she will continue to do it unless I go down and tell her stop face to

face, I started going down the stairs and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw

her leaving the excerise ball and walking to the couch to sit down. She

actually did what I said without me being in the room. I was upstairs. This

really impressed me. She does seem more connected.

 

She also continues to pull on her tongue and play with her mouth.

 

Thanks,

Demi
