Toe Walking - What is the root cause

[Guest guest]

My son did not have toe walking before. Today he had started several times of

toe walking which I have never seen before. I was so scared. This happened

after he had just finished banana for 15 mins. He has started digestive enzyme

for 1 week. He is taking Super Nuthera but at very small amount of 1 ml per

day. Because the first time when I gave him 2.5 ml, he was very hyperactive

with vigours hand-flapping and running. I have just cut off Cal/Mag supplement

for one day. Any clue for his toe-walking behaviour. Please help.

Our son started toe walking after his 22 month MMR vaccine. We've got video

clips of him between the ages of 10 mos. and 22 mos. that he walked flat footed.

We had vision therapy done in LaCrosse WI at Family Vision Center to help

strengthen his eye muscles as he struggles with eye tracking. We believed that

his toe walking was caused by his visual issues...when our son was prescribed

prism lenses to wear as part of his vision therapy he could walk flat footed

with the glasses without even knowing he was doing this. His eye doctor

believes the toe walking is due to visual disturbances (he views the world up

hill) but the double yoked prism glasses bring him back down to our level. We

were told that he has binocular vision issues as he struggles with poor tracking

skills (eye teaming/eye coordination). We tried the vision therapy for about 3

wks but our son would get nauseated the day after to the point of vomiting. We

were told that his vision issues were possibly caused by his vaccinations do to

the heavy metals they use for preservatives causing neurological issues thus

visual disturbances. We were then advised by another source to stop the vision

therapy and do a 6 wk. heavy metal detox (per Cutler) that was very hard

on him. We were told that this would help when trying to revisit the vision

therapy again this summer.

I don't know if constipation or backed up bowels is the issue with him as he

does have 2-3 healthy movements a day (I've learned to be a poop patrol..lol!) I

have noticed though that since we started allowing him to eat wheat now and then

with(Houston Enzymes)that he seems to be walking higher on his toes. Could he

have backed up bowels?? I wonder as his stools are not the same and seem more

difficult to eliminate. I think there could be some connection with the bowels

but how do we explain the prism glasses making him walk flat footed? Maybe

both....I really wish we could conquer this toe walking!

Please email me personally with success stories..THANKS! lauriejenki@...

For us it was food intolerances that caused toe walking.

At my house, toe walking was associated with constipation. Bananas are binding,

so it may have been that. Bananas also tend to increase yeast, which also can

be constipating

I doubt toe walking is related to constipation. My son has poo poo everyday.

Most of the time the poo poo is not formed.

My 3 year old has both issues going on. He needs prism glasses for the visual

correction but also suffers from constipation. The glasses have done wonders for

him but if he has to go to the bathroom he will still toe walk until he goes.

Hi

For my son the toe-walking indicated too low a level of serotonin in the gut

which was affecting his intestinal motility. He was severely constipated after

the 6 month group of shots and it has been a lifetime battle keeping his

neurotransmitters balanced. We give him 5htp at night because it is the

precursor to serotonin. I also made sure I gave him enough magnesium. He had

epsom salt baths every night and we put 2 full cups in his water. He loved this

because it was very calming before bed.
