Re: Re: Going crazy (too much fruit)

July 15, 2009

Hi ,

My first guess when you mention problems from eating too much fruit is that it's

either yeast (from the natural sugar in the fruits) or the high-salicylate

fruits (just about anything except pears, but especially apples, berries, etc.).

The yeast would probably take a while to show up, so immediate behavior is more

likely a phenol/salicylate issue. The no-phenol or similar enzymes would be the

one to deal with that (salicylates are a form of phenols or vice-versa, I can

never remember which).

If you want more information on this type of issue, look at www.feingold.org.

That diet eliminates the artificial flavors/colors because of the effects of the

phenols involved in them (they're not good for any of us, as they're coal-tar

derivatives) as well as BHT, BHA, and TBHQ, the preservatives found in many

items/packaging.

I'll have to look at the link you sent. We've seen a difference with weighty

things with our daughter as well.

Hope this helps.

My 5 year old is driving me crazy. She has autism. She has fairly good

language,some echolahia(sp? ). She is very hyper,some stimmy behavior, and

spends her free time trying to piss me off.She gets a real trill out of being

bad.She dumps things eggs ,shampoo you name it.Poor independent play skills play

skills but will not sit and play with me or listen to a story..Climbs on

everything. Very ADHD most of the time. She is very fast and destructive. Gets

30 hours of aba,3 hours of playgroup, biweekly OT, and weekly speech. We live on

acreage so the yard is about the only productive place other than therapy. The

therapists seem unwilling or unable to help me. I have three other kids

including a 4 year . She loves to get a reaction and much of the behavior is

dangerous so can not be ignored.Any ideas? Something to mellow her out or some

behavior technique? She is at every 3 minites doing something unsafe,dangerous,

destuctive. Worst time of day 4-7.

IDEas

anyone?
