How do you heal an extremely leaky gut after trying everything?

July 13, 2009

Hi,

I'm usually posting about my son. Today it's my daughter. She isn't on the

spectrum, but has PANDAS. She is 10, and was otherwise healthy. We have had her

on the usual Taurine, GABA, TMG etc for inhibitory neurotransmittors as well as

Biotin. I have started her on Acidophilus today. She is on Kirkmans Max Spectrum

Complete w/Isogest with every meal and snacks.

We have tried the SCD, and it did not work for her. Although it reduced her tics

quickly in conjunction with the enzymes, she lost a lot of weight she didn't

need to and is way too thin now.She definately was tired of the foods even

though she eats a very varied diet, and she started not tolerating a lot of the

foods on the diet. We recently left it, and are back to GFCFSF, etc.I would

rather not do SCD again, as it is really a struggle to get her to eat and she

can't loose any more weight, it is affecting her energy, etc.

Her tics are slowly coming back. They became very violent at their peak and very

painful for her. I know she has a very leaky gut. The problem is, she reacts to

anything that goes into her stomach. How do you heal a gut if you are battling

the leakiness at the same time? I am stumped.

Thanks,

Susi
