Excessive climbing and hyper, at my house, meant yeast overgrowth.

This is a possibility, yes.

Hi Sara,

 

regarding hyperactivity.. my son, age 5 also has mild ASD.  He is also a climber

and up until a couple of months ago, he was very hyper and getting aggressive

but responded very well to supps that support adrenal function. Huge redunction

in hyperactivity.

 

I've read studies that kids with ADHD (and I suspect this applies to kids with

ASD) have very low levels of cortisol which is a stress hormone produced by the

adrenal glands.  On the advice of a naturopathic doctor,  I began supplementing

my son with PMG denadren (for adrenal function), Min Chex, Magnesium and

calcium.. he became much calmer and focused and is now a pleasure to be around

whereas before his hypeactivity was driving me insane.

 

I've also heard that Min Chex and Gaba are a good combination for reducing

hyperactivty

 

Here's a study that show very low levels of cortisol in kids with ADHD.

Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder

We are very thankfully just entering a managed recovery phase with our son. We

started AFP Peptizyde about three weeks or so ago, and have had some neat

results. has gained four pounds (he had lost three in the last nine months

since starting GFCF, and is delighted to be able to have some of his favorites

back.

We have had some continued hyperactivity (manageable, but he constantly is

climbing like a little spider up the door frames), and we haven't been able to

go hog wild on the GFCF (casein seems to be way less of an issue than gluten).

We're OK unless we do something really gluten heavy, like pizza, pasta, etc.

But the yeast is coming back (red ring is the telltale sign for him, also

impulsivity (walking up to sisters and smacking them), the hyperactivity, etc.

I'm wondering if now, because he is absorbing food better, that we should start

cutting down on other supps. Have other noticed this? Have you just cut down on

dosage (doing every other day instead of every day) or cut them out completely?

We cut out extra B-related vitamins so far and it has helped.

Also, have any of you noticed that over time, your child handles gluten better?

At what point do we get to the maximum benefit?

One last question. Anyone find their child never lost the hyperactivity on

Peptizyde and tried another enzyme that worked better.

If this helps in any of you that answer, my son was always verbal, and was mild

on the spectrum (just had huge rage issues b/c of clostridia and yeast) and had

a horrible anesthesia reaction at age 5 that started this mess.

Thanks, Sara

p.s. So glad I found this group. Also started enzymes on my two NT daughters and

have already started seeing great benefits for them too!

We were able to take our daughter (4.5) off the diet recently as well. She takes

Trienza and a Gluten-Zyme if she's having gluten. We haven't had any issues and

in fact she was much more aware off the diet which I found interesting. But,

when we took her off the diet we had done about 42 rounds of AC chelation. So,

she was ready for regular food. Not the case for all kids though.

I am hoping to get her off enzymes by Christmas which will be 65 rounds of

chelation for her. Another thing that caused major hyperactivity was Calcium.

She cannot take Calcium at all and I think it has to do with mercury.

You might want to do a remove and add back type of thing with each supp over the

span of a couple of months. I know my daughter didn't need as much Magnesium

once she was eating wheat again.

Good luck! Isn't it great not cooking all the time?!
