Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi, I am a new member and would like to learn more about chelation from experienced parents on this board. My son is 10 with autism. We first got the diagnosis when he is almost 4 and didn't start biomed until he is 5 and a half. Over the years, we tried various treatments: diet (still on), supplements, OT, SP, sensory integration, HBOT, social groups, etc. He has come a long way but the progress seems to " fluctuate " from time to time. Since last summer, his tics have been fairly persistent and the impulsive behaviors worsened at its peak. We finally decided to give chelation a try right before Christmas (12/23/10). Needless to say, the result is amazing and I couldn't believe how much the impulsiveness has decreased! With the great success in behaviors, however, the tics do not seem to improve much. Some parents advised that yeast can be the cause of tics and often time, a restrict diet with high protein foods can flare up the yeast. How do you obtain the ultimate benefit from a restrict diet without the side effect of yeast flair up? I prefer not to rely on anti-yeast med forever if I can reach the goal by implementing a " custom made menu " . Is there any knowledgeable dietitian out there who is experienced in this area? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
