Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 , try looking parasites, it is four days before full moon, and my daughter has major issues at that time, insomnia, sugar disturbances, distended belly, and we have started treating her for parasites. Look it up, do a search for parasites full moon, and you will not believe the closeness of symptoms.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 My Katy(not ASD) has emptying problems that come and go. Most drs will give you the evil drug reglan for this. Do NOT give this to a kid who has seizures or other neurological problems without looking at all your options. Enzymes and making sure the child is getting only well tolerated foods can help. There are some other drugs that help with motility without the evil side effects of Reglan. They are Domperidone and Erythromycin(low dose antibiobtic that can cause faster emptying). Foods lower in protein and fiber digest more quickly and can get a child through a period of slow emptying. With Katy, it is much easier to tell if she is emptying slowly because she has g tube, so I can draw out the food in her tummy to check for residuals, since you don't have that luxury you have to go by symptoms. When Katy is emptying slowly I give her baby rice cereal, applesauce, rice milk and honey and mix it rather thin so she can digest easily. I usually have to do this for 2 meals and then we can move on to more protein and fiber rich foods slowly over the next day or so.

I am sure that everyone here on this group goes through this, racking your brain and trying to find answers as to WHY this things are happening WEll, last night, ( this has been going on for 3 weeks and counting) after getting up at 2 30 am...I started to go back and figure out why all of sudden he is waking so early. It could be...the enzymes not sure though I just started them actually about 1 month ago. It could be the fact that he does not chew his food well causing a stomach ache??? It could be reflux..common among children with ASD..I have heard him cough in the middle of the night and then he can not settle himself. He is also non- verbal, so I have look at his behaviour. So around 4 am this morning I started to look up some things what I found was a condition that the stomach does not empty fast enough kind of a slow mobility problem. and sure enough my son has pretty much all the symptoms. 1. vomits (sometimes hours after eating - and it will be his breakfast!!! ) 2. belching 3. tummy gets very large by the end of the day 4. Takes anti seizure meds and this med could effect the muscles that are needed for the stomach to work properly??? I tried to give him 6 smaller meals and this seamed to help a little. SOrry so long a post but I was curious if any one out there has any info or insight into this condition. I am making a appt. with his doctor don;t worry...he will get an earful. lol take care everyone taking some zzzzzzzzz's now michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try increasing the yeast protocol. > 2. belching > 3. tummy gets very large by the end of the day Yeast overgrowth and food intolerance can cause these.
