A couple questions...

HCG seems to be the primary med for getting the testicles to make more

T on their own. Some have had success with clomid and other meds.

+++Hi Kate. If you drink any alcohol, take 2 extra vitamin B complex

tablets with some food within 1 hour of starting to drink. Also

after any drink(s) drink lots of water and have 1/4 tsp. of ocean sea

salt with it, either lick some from hand or add it to the water.

Next, take your usual dose of hydrochloric acid tablets with the

foods, and also take 1 tablet 40 minutes to an hour later. If your

stomach gets upset have some baking soda with you (maybe in a small

medicine bottle) and take 1/4 tsp. baking soda in a small amount of

water.

Afterward, take 4,000 mg vitamin C at one time, and 1,000 - 2,000

every hour until you reach bowel tolerance (loose stools) and then

cut back on the amount; take them your waking hours for 2 days. Also

take 50 mg niacin (B3) every 3-4 hours for 2 days.

> Secondly, I noticed coffee and caffenine aren't allow on the diet.

I was curious as to what this does to make candida worse?

Lastly, why are tomatoes allowed on the diet if they are a fruit and

are very sweet in nature?

+++They contain low enough sugars/carbs.

Ok, I am dotting my “i’s” and crossing my “t’s”

for this meeting tomorrow with both boys teachers and the principal. I have a

lot of things printed off. I spoke to the Autism Society of Newfoundland, who

gave me the phone numbers for the Autism consultant for our school board, who

gave me many good ideas.

I am trying to take in a bunch of stuff to help them understand

what Aspergers IS… however I have a feeling that it’s going to take

some work to get them on board. I won’t hesitate to call the lady back I spoke

to yesterday, because she can come in and do Professional Development with the

school to teach them about AS. Now… focusing on my youngest specifically…

Last week, he pulled on another student. I had already requested

that she give me MORE INFORMATION so that I know *why* he did it, what

his triggers are at school, etc. So today, she wrote me another note explaining

that he’d pulled the student when she was getting something out of the

basket in the classroom, and he went to get HIS kit out of the basket at the same

time. He pulled on her to move her out of the way. To me, this is so classic…

but how do I best explain this to them?

Also, going home every day is an issue for him. She says he

needs to be “constantly reminded” to get ready, and that he lays on

the floor and tries to get ready down there. Again, this is such a transitional

issue for him. Right now, I am currently NOT happy with the fact that they have

him standing up ACROSS a large hall alone once his coat and shoes are on…

talk about ostracization. And honestly, this teacher (who’s supposed to

be the special needs teacher??) seems a bit (ok a lot) lazy to me. They ring

two bells in the morning. She doesn’t show up in the KINDERGARTEN

classroom until just before the 2nd bell… and expects that the

kids are sitting quietly in their seats when she gets there? Um, they are 5 and

6 yrs old??? Not only that… but during the time from when they get off

the bus, to the time their teacher shows up, they are unsupervised. I stayed in

the classroom this morning (Because I’m driving Caleb to school from now

on, as he’s having issues on the bus, we’ll try again next year)…

and may very well do that everyday.

Ok… so I’ll stop rambling. I’ve had nightmares

about this meeting going horribly bad… I think I’ve made a LOT of

phone calls, gotten a LOT of information, and I feel (mostly) prepared…

just those few things I’m not sure how to approach.

Experienced AS Moms… tell me, at some point, this gets

easier??? Cause some days, I feel like I’m doing ok and others, I feel

completely helpless
