Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Hi, I just joined the group. I am seeking help for my son. He's been diagnosed with failure to thrive and cerebral palsy. His doc wants to put a feeding tube in him and I just know there has to be a better way to help him gain weight. If anyone can help, please email me.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Julie, Check out the following site: Pfeiffer Treatment Center: http://www.hriptc.org/ They are world leaders in the individualized treatment of childhood orders (autism spectrum disorders, ADD/ADHD). They use nutritional therapy. They could help your son thrive without a doubt.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 hi Julie, What does he currently eat ? I am using dietary intervention on my son who is ASD - many of his peers ( and increasingly children with downs and cp) are showing gut damage which affects their behaviour as well as their weight , appearence and general well being . If he is selective or restrictive in his food choices this is sometimes a big clue ! Regards Deborah Gettingwell, " Julie " <solace_69> wrote: > Hi, > I just joined the group.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Dear Julie, Could you tell us how old your son is?

I remember selling in the health food store I worked in, but I've never known what it was used for (I knew more about the herbs). I would think human colostrum would do wonders, but I don't think it would be too easy to get. Julie > , > > I just joined the group. I am seeking help for my > son.

If he is > selective or restrictive > in his food choices this is sometimes a big clue ! He is very selective of what he eats. He hates vegetables and most meat, except chicken and ham (I haven't tried fish because of the mercury). He loves all fruit (especially blueberries), but sometimes not bananas. He likes sweet potatoes and corn. He likes pasta and cheese and ice cream, but doesn't tolerate milk. He seems to be a carb kinda kid. :-) Julie > Gettingwell, " Julie " <solace_69> > wrote: > > Hi, > > I just joined the group. I am seeking help for my > son.
