[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I have just joined and thought I would introduce myself and the reason for

joining. My name is and I have two adorable little boys aged almost 5yrs &

2.5yrs, my oldest son is the reason I'm here. We have spent the last 3 years

trying to help him in every which way possible. The Paed told us just after he

turned two that he was 95% sure he would be making a diagnosis of autism but

wanted to wait another six months to see how he progressed. In that time I

implemented the " failsafe " diet and by the time we went back he had made huge

improvements and even shook the Paed's hand and said hello. This particular Paed

was a non believer in diets making a difference (especially with autism) and was

quite amazed at the difference and proceeded to tell us he was no longer

confident in making a diagnosis. We saw one other paed also not very helpful and

hence started our journey into Biomed treatments.

 

We sought the advice of a dietitian who hadn't come across a child as sensitive

as him before. At age 3 we removed gluten & casein and unfortunately in the

process of us removing more and more from his diet he has become super sensitive

and intolerant to everything but beef, lamb, chicken, potato, rice, canola oil

&  sugar. He breaks out in hives from things the doctors and specialists have

never come across before and finally at the start of the year I convinced our

allergist to write me a script for a hypoallergenic formula called Elecare as I

have been so desperately worried about his nutrition. He made some improvements

in speech, concentration & the hyperactivity lessened once he started on the

formula - but we are far from there yet. We are having Biomed treatments but

still need help with the diet & food intolerances/sensitivies.

 

The last three years I've lived my life in the kitchen, cooking preparing and

often throwing out things he won't eat. Driving from one store to the next for

ingredients he can tolerate, encouraging every single meal time to get him to

eat a mouthful. Many nights researching to find something that may help,

trawling through recipes and trying to create my own out of what very limited

ingredients he can tolerate is almost impossible. I'm tired beyond belief this

journey has certainly taken a lot out of me, but like so many I will do anything

I have to for my kids and certainly won't stop until I get there.

 

To cut this short (I'd be here for hours otherwise) I met a lady who's son's

symptoms are very similar to mine and she mentioned she tried digestive enzymes

and was having great success. I have been again researching and feel there is a

ray of hope that in time he may be able to start eating normally and we can have

a life!

 

So far I'm looking at Houston Trienza and another one was called DigestGold

(enzymedica), I have a lot more of research to do I'm sure and would love any

input/advice.

Look forward to reading the posts and learning more.
