Re: Question about AC protocol for gut kid

Sounds like something you are feeding him, or a supplement is still bothering

him. I feel that the best way to go is to try to eliminate all the sources of

immune activation/inflammation as quickly as possible and then start chelating.

The gut is not going to get better until the metals start coming out.

Unfortunately, it seems some DAN! doctors spend way too long on the gut when

there is little progress able to be made with metals present.

I would try some cultured vegetables (sauerkraut, Body Ecology Diet recipes) and

coconut kefir. These have live probiotics. Steam his vegetables so they are

easy to digest. On this list, people have had success with the following

antifungals: Oil of Oregano, Candex, Coconut Oil (caprylic acid), Candidaise,

Biotin, Grapefruit Seed Extract (some do well, some don't), Olive Leaf Extract.

IMO, these work better than the prescription antifungals. Personally, I also

like Amla for an antifungal (Paradise Herbs brand has it).

In my opinion, being so precariously recovered (requiring so much support to

stay recovered) means you have not removed the underlying

assault/insult/trigger.

My guess is chelation will help your child. It will stir up yeast.

How old is he? Was he vaccinated?

When he bloats, is he gassy? Gosh, with such restrictions, what exactly is he

eating?

I see no need to test for heavy metals in the blood. What you could do is get a

DDI Hair Elements test. The GI tract has a high affinity for mercury. Mercury

can concentrate in the GI tract and lead to malapsorbtion, yeast overgrowth and

other disturbances.

You are right to think that something else is going on here.

How are his BMs? Is he constipated? My son was bloated from constipation.

Mercury and other metals will cause gut issues. Most Autistic kids have gut

issues caused by metals.

I would do a hair test and apply the counting rules if it were my child.

How can someone be " recovered " when they are taking all thos supps and have

those issues?

Hello Group,

My son has gastrointestinal issues. Every time he eats his belly becomes

bloated. He is taking digestive enzymes, is GFCFSFCF & SCD, he also takes

Klaire detox support probiotic (50 bil. CFU's), and many other supplements.

He is doing antiviral/antifungal therapy.... His DAN says he's " recovered "

but I still see more recovery to be had...

His constant inflamed belly is my biggest concern.

A few parents have suggested that I try AC chelation.

Will AC chelation address gastrointestinal issues??

He hasn't had any metals testing, yet. From what I understand, many can

benefit from AC chelation, regardless.....

But, again, I just want to make sure the chelation would help my son's gut

issues, and not make them worse. Any advice with this would be wonderful..

Thank you for your time!

Hi Pam,

My son is 5 years, 4 mos. He was born in Feb 2005. Yes, he received ALL of

his " required " vaccines, in additional to four flu shots (I could kick

myself for this!)

I stopped vaccinating him in 2007 (it was a flu shot.) His last " required "

vaccine was 7 months prior to that, in 2006.

When he bloats, at times he's gassy -- but not always.

He mostly eats protein, veggies & fruit. He's no longer a self limiting

eater, he would eat anything I gave him, but every time I give him a GF carb

or something really starchy, he bloats even more than usual.

Hi BMs are " okay. "

They range from constipated to diarrhea, the color ranges from dark brown to

light yellow, and I usually see undigested food in his stool (although not

as bad as before enzymes, etc.,) I also see black flecks, and white flecks,

and sometimes, strings. Black flecks could be die off? White flecks could

be undigested probiotics? strings could be parasites? Those are my

guesses. I monitor every BM (gross, sorry, but, have to...)

Yes, I agree. Not my idea of " recovered, " either!

Hair test is through doctor's data??? Will the " files " section of this

group send me in the right direction in terms of " what to do next? " I

should first start w/ hair test, then proceed, yes??

Thanks!

Yes. Start with a hair test.

And yes, read, read, read. The files section is a good place to start. Andy's

books a very good.

Constant bloated belly is a concern for my son. Has anyone ever thought about it

with a different perspective. I can tell you this. My kid i think, has never had

any digestive or gut issue. He is 2 year old and was diagnosed in feburary when

he was 21 month old. His DAN doctor put him on enzyme and probiotic but i think

it wasnt necessary because my son was never constipated, never had

diarrhea.Regulary moved his bowels since he was an infant at very predictable

times. And the stools were well formed. I know people associate gut issues with

ASD but i strongly believe thats not the case with my son.

Here is my perspective about bloated belly. Every infant has bloated belly. But

with age as the muscles get stronger the belly disappears, just like kids get

more control over their urinary muscles. ASD kids are no doubt developmentally

delayd and hence these muscles take longer to develop and the belly disappears a

little later than usual.

I did not make any of these up and read it somewhere and was also told the same

by our pedeatrician. Another reason for bloated belly because of poor muscle

development could be hypothyroidism. I think it is not totally correct to assume

that every ASD kid has gut issues. I respectfully differ with the DAN doctors

and members in this forum in this case. I think my kid shows some sign of

hypothyroidism like bloated belly, flat feet, one misalligned teeth, low morning

body temperature, yellowish palms and feet when he eats something with high

carotene.

Thanks

I think pediatricians see the bloated bellies, the picky eaters, the drooling

toddlers, the ear infections, the reflux all the time now and they think it's

normal. I didn't necessarily believe the gut issues at first either, but the

gut and brain are definitely connected and unless you start treating one or the

other, the autism stays. I do believe the toxic metals are the cause and

chelation is the treatment.

My child doesn't have all the gut issues either. He did have a bloated belly

beyond age 2 so I did Cytoflora last fall and sure enough, the belly started

flattening out so there was something going on (I took Cytoflora too and it

helped with a small rash on my arm that hadn't gone away for two years).

We started chelation with DMSA in January with no yeast problems but when I

added ALA last month, he got a bit yeasty - it didn't effect his moods or

anything but his belly was a bit bloated again. I added Cytoflora back and

tada, totally gone in two days. When I ran out of Cytoflora, I wanted to move

to something without grain alcohol (used to preserve in the Cytoflora) so I

ordered a probiotics supplement from Kirkman's (we use their zinc and calcium).

However, they made him moody and effected his sleep. I don't think he needed

them - I think they were too much.

So, I've gone back to Cytoflora, just a dropper or two each morning for

maintenance. But he doesn't have gut issues with eating certain foods or

anything like that. I think he just gets a little yeast in his system with the

ALA and just a bit of Cytoflora keeps everything fine since we now do DMSA/ALA

rounds every weekend.

When we started biomed, we didn't need to start with anything for his gut first

because he just didn't have any of those gut issues - BMs just fine and no

reactions to different foods, etc. We started straight toward chelation

starting natural to get his liver strong (which also improved speech and other

ASD traits) and moved to full chelation this year which and we see continued

improvements.

And yes, I think any gut issues that might be there but not apparent are getting

help through the chelation process.

This was mostly true at my house. The bloating was caused by yeast overgrowth

and certain food issues. The other things were some of the various signs of

hypothyroidism at my house. All gone with thyroid support supplements.

But... to be fair... the hypothyrodism, yeast and food intolerances probably

wouldn't be there if your children weren't assaulted by toxins. Toxins, Autism

and GI problems just seem to go hand in hand.

yellowish palms and feet when he eats something with high carotene.

Is there any way to check for hypothyroidism?Â My kid displays most of the

signsÂ mentioned below- bloated belly, flat feet, misalligned teeth, yellow

palms and fee.Â Â I have had his TSH (thyroid functions) checked through blood

test with our DAN lately and they were all normal:

Free T3 - 3.35 pg/ml (ref 2.23 - 3.61)

TSHÂ Â Â Â - 0.57 uIU/ml (ref 0.35 -2.82)

Rgds,
