Guest guest Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I had this happen today with my son (7yr.old). I think it was partly a food reaction and partly low blood sugar from not eating often enough. It is hard to know, but I am quite sure mine's meltdown had something to do with those two things. > > hi all, > my 2.5 yr old has definitely bit/scratched in the past either out of > excitement or out of frustration but lately (past week), he's been much much > more aggressive, lashing out even at his therapists which he's never done. > everyone keeps talking about it like its a really big deal and i'm > wondering if this is a reaction to something? latest thing we've added is > saccharomyces boullardi... > thanks, > leah > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 My son did this too at the same age. I took him to a Naturopathic doctor who put him on a supplement to support adrenal gland function. ASD kids can be deficient in a hormone called cortisol. Low cortisol can result in aggression.  The good news is that is can be treated. To address the adrenal gland function and low cortisol, we used a supplement called Drenatrophin PMG by Standard Process. Here's the link. http://www.standardprocess.com/display/StandardProcessCatalog.spi?ID=63 Other supplements that helped calm include calcium, Magnesium plus Gaba and Min Chex. Here's some articles on the subject: Asperger Syndrome Tied to Low Cortisol Levels http://www.drugs.com/news/asperger-syndrome-tied-low-cortisol-levels-17016.html  Rebel without a Hormone-Pschology in the News  http://intro2psych.wordpress.com/2008/11/09/rebel-without-a-hormone/ Relieving Stress Through Adrenal Support  http://www.standardprocess.com/display/3382.spi  hth,  From: Leah Korenstein <vitaltalim18@...> Subject: [ ] more aggressive behavior? abmd , , taca-usa , mb12 valtrex Date: Sunday, April 25, 2010, 12:41 AM  hi all, my 2.5 yr old has definitely bit/scratched in the past either out of excitement or out of frustration but lately (past week), he's been much much more aggressive, lashing out even at his therapists which he's never done. everyone keeps talking about it like its a really big deal and i'm wondering if this is a reaction to something? latest thing we've added is saccharomyces boullardi... thanks, leah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain foods and several supplements caused this at my house. > everyone keeps talking about it like its a really big deal and i'm > wondering if this is a reaction to something? latest thing we've added is > saccharomyces boullardi... Try removing the SaccB and see if that helps. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
