Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Have you considered endocrine system like thyroid? Hormones ? +- From: Jack <jrussell8@...> Subject: Thoughts about total loss of control Date: Friday, March 5, 2010, 11:39 AM Â We have a 5 yr. old son with Asperger's and have been doing biomed for about 2 1/2 years. GF/CF/SF diet, etc. We've had a real time in the past few months with him just completely snapping into fits of rage and aggression in which he seems completely unable to make a rationale decision or choice that would enable him to calm down or get out of trouble. It happens a few times a week. It almost seems to build where he is more and more on edge for a couple days and then just explodes over some minor incidence when he's gotten into the least bit of trouble or been corrected or not gotten his way, etc. Yesterday it happened for the first time at school, starting with a sharing problem with his twin brother and it was pretty bad. The teachers had not really believed us, what we were seeing at home because he had always been so good at school. It started with an incident with his brother but lasted about 45 minutes. Any thoughts? Over the last six months we had loosened up on the diet a tiny bit, maybe once a week having chic-filet nuggets with enzymes and didn't really seem to see anything, at least poop-wise. Some soy lecithin maybe and he's been getting a lot of junk (suckers with artificials, etc.) at school. Could this be enough? It almost seems like he's just not at all himself when he's in one of these modes, like he literally would not remember it after. Even the teacher said she had not seen anything like it and that it had to be biological. He did also report that he had a terrible headache at school because of the tornado drill. I'm not surprised that bothered him, I knew it would, but could it trigger this kind of snapping 30 minutes later? What is going on in the brain when that happens? We see a new DAN doctor Monday and I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on what we could ask about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 What jumped out at me was if you had a yeast protocol in place. If not, needed. Also the Feingold diet, look into. If could be those artificial colorings enough that does it. Maybe look into adrenal cortex. Hair test, chelation?

Could this be enough? That would definitely be enough to increase the yeast.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 My kids both did this and it was caused by high histamine in the blood, which would be worsened by all of the " infractions " that you listed, and which ultimately stems from an overgrowth of bad bacteria and/or yeast in the gut. The bad microbes give off metabolites that clog-up the methylation system, which also gets clogged by artificial ingredients, ESPECIALLY the preservatives that they put on chicken nugget type things which is essentially butane (like in a cig lighter, highly toxic to the liver). You can take all sorts of things to address dysbiosis, but for my kids we could only really get past it by not feeding the bad bags in the first place. No grains, starches, sugar, etc. We did GAPS but lots of people do SCD or at least start SCD and go to GAPS. My ASD son is off of the spectrum now (has only a language delay and mild residual anxiety) and my OCD son is no longer OCD at all, although may have some mild tics still. Also, severe dairy allergy is healed in all of us now. I would at least go back to the strict diet plus no artificials and low sugar if noting else.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 My son has emotion regulation issues (just like you describe) when we aren't helping his methylation pathway and PST (phenols affect that). His gets really jammed and we have to support it with methyl B12 shots, folinic acid, TMG, and epsom salt baths nightly. His gut bacteria and phenols contribute to this type of behavior too, so it sounds like your infractions are too much for his system to handle. Ask DAN about his methylation labs if you don't already have it done?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Please help if you have any ideas. We also have a loss of control issue here. The difference is we have a 17 year old son. He has regressed into things he was doing 5 years ago and we don't know why. His diet is not good but no worse than it has been. About a month ago he started having meltdowns. He constantly goes around saying " be quiet " , " no scratching " . He used to have an issue with doors being open. That's gone and has been replaced with not being able to stand anybody talking, touching any part of their body, or touching his hair.  He was given Allegra for allergies, which made him hyper so we were only giving him 1 tsp. in the mornings instead of the 2 prescribed. He had been taking liquid tmg with folinic acid for a long time and seemed to do well. We ordered some that was powdered w/folinic acid and Mb12. He was taking a probiotic. We started Trienza which he seemed to do well with. Almost overnight he seemed to go berzerk. Every afternoon, we would start to press his nose into the computer screen, mirror, or anything handy. Then he would beat himself in the forehead with the heel of his hand. If I tried to stop him, he would attack me. Later he would hold the top of his head and say " oh, my head " .  Oh yes, I did try one drop of GSE for 3 days, and one day biotin because I thought he may be having a yeast issue. I took him to the doctor, no strep(even though he had been exposed), no sinus or ear infection.  I stopped everything and started over with the Trienza. He was fine for a few days so I added back the probiotic he had been taking for a long time. He went from 1 bowel movement to 4; seemed to have no control(accidents)(leaking). I read in the FAQ about starting with vitamin b, c, milk thistle, zinc, magnesium, so I backed off of the Trienza and probiotics and started vitamin b, c, and rubbed zinc on his feet at night. The violence is gone, but there is still something really wrong.  What do I do?  For the first time in 8 years I am considering drugs.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Yes, it was determined by throat culture. He had no fever, but I have an older son that had strep with no fever or sore throat. Â Right now he is walking through the house saying " be quiet " about every 15 minutes. This has been going on for about a month and continues to get worse. Until then he had an issue about all the doors being shut. That is no longer a problem. This new thing about people talking, scratching, touching their hair or any body part has replaced it. He is driving us bananas. But there has been no more violent behavior. He is also sleeping better. Â Anything that I have changed in the house over the last 6 months, he is moving back to its original place. Â D.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 You might have started to see die off reactions from gut bacteria? Enzymes can do that and his behavior sounds like OCD, which can be caused by the toxins given off from bacteria. I agree with Dana at trying only one thing at a time and giving it a week or so before starting anything new.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 You mentioned that he had been exposed to strep. Does he have PANDAS? My son is a PANDAS kid and just an exposure is enough to set the antibodies (and symptoms) going wild. Whether or not the strep test comes back positive is not important. was on a prophylatic antibiotic weekly for close to a year. Now he's off, and his sister just got strep. Ugh! But the overnight change is a common PANDAS sign. The PANDAS does make a kid significantly more anxious so meltdowns would follow. My son would run around the dinner table 109 times each meal. And he would be highly fearful of the devil, thinking Satan was behind every curtain and was coming to snatch him away for " being bad. " Also, a PANDAS sign. I don't know your son, so of course, I don't know that it's PANDAS, BUT...would it be worth checking? Absolutely, with the overnight change, the obsessive like behaviors, and the exposure to strep. This is my " favorite " (I hate PANDAS!) site: http://e-pandas.com/ Good news is that a nice z-pack could make a huge difference (then some probiotics, of course).

He has regressed into things he was doing 5 years ago and we don't know why. His diet is not good but no worse than it has been. About a month ago he started having meltdowns. He constantly goes around saying " be quiet " , " no scratching " . He used to have an issue with doors being open. That's gone and has been replaced with not being able to stand anybody talking, touching any part of their body, or touching his hair.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 One other tidbit...just noticed that he's also having accidents. My son, when PANDAS is flaring, has accident after accident. He seemingly cannot control his urine (also what happens when he has bacteria or yeast), but coupled with the other symptoms, checking his DNASE and ASO titers might be worth checking out.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 How do I get that checked? Is there a test I need to ask the doctor for? He has a very good pediatrician(for regular kids), but has an attitude about Autism that all of this stuff is a waste of time and money.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 > Yes, it was determined by throat culture. That test is not accurate if you don't have the strep in your throat. And PANDAS issues are generally caused by strep located somewhere else in the body, not the throat. If you suspect strep, you can try OLE. I eliminated strep with OLE.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 But I cannot get it in her, it tastes horrible, and as many times as we have read your posts about teaching to swallow capsules, she just can't do it. So I need ot figure out how to get it in her.... Do you the OLE and OoO for parasites as well?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 How do you dose ole? My son is 90 pounds. How long do you give it? We tried anti biotics and the tics did get somewhat better. We are done with the antibiotics and the tics are still present. Better but still there (throat clearing). Sorry I didn't mean to jump in on someone else's email. Thanks .

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 ok thanks. We have been dealing with ocd for a very long time. It seems to get a little better when he has been on an antibiotic. I would like to try this with him. What is the lowest recommended dosage? He weighs 100 lbs. but is very sensitive to everything.

So I need ot figure out how to get it in her.... Buy the tincture and rub it on her feet, then cover with socks overnight. I know this works for OoO, not sure about OLE. OLE will mix well into an Italian meal. >>Do you the OLE and > OoO for parasites as well? Black walnut is good for parasites. I don't know about OLE or OoO.
