Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 TO: shaolynne2001 Have you considered reactions from thimerosol in vaccinations? I got the below paragraph from another site. Maybe this will help you. >>>> " Dr. Andrew Levinson, M.D., who works with autistic children and is a psychiatrist in Florida. His website is www.vitalitywellness.com His e-mail is Info . I highly recommend if you are working with autistic children that you get his tape or if you can find where he is speaking, attend his lectures. He is really in the forefront of the alternative treatments for autistic children. " <<<<<< ================================= On Sat, 19 Jun 2004 03:10:06 -0000 " shaolynne2001 " <alese writes: Hi! I'm new to the group and I hope to learn a lot here. I am starting school in the fall to be a natropath/holistic nutritionist. I have a 14 month old boy who has some mysterious digestive condition. We have been to doctor after doctor and had test after test done and nobody seems to know what is going on. When he was 2 weeks old, we took him to the ER due to having bloody diarrhea. After an x-ray for suspected obstruction or intesussecption (which was negative on both accounts, they told me to stop nursing (Huge mistake in retrospect!) and put him on nutramigen (a formula that has partially broken down proteins). He did not imporve on Nutramigen and after many x-rays, blood and stool tests (only positive tests were for blood in stool on 4 different occasions), they put him on Neocate (a formula where the proteins are broken down to amino acids). He did improve on Neocate and we were good until he was 4 months (when I tried to start him on rice cereal). Again, he got stringy, mucousy, diarrhea that progressed to bloody. We backed off and tried again in a month - again, same results. We were referred to a Ped GI doctor who ran a battery of tests (most of the duplicate of ones previously ran - the only abnormal result was an IgE which was a little elevated) The doctors' office said they " lost " the results and said they would call me with the plan going forward. They never called me and wouldn't return my phone calls - so I was left to fend for myself. Finally, in the shower one morning, I had an idea of using digestive enzymes on him. So, that day I started and after a week or so on the enzymes, I tried him on rice cereal. Nothing happened so we progressed with one new food per week. Still nothing happened. We were finally able to have him on soy formula and he did really well until about a couple weeks ago. My 3.5 year old son is autistic and we started the gluten-free/casein free/soy-free/corn- free diet for him about two weeks ago. We also started up supplements (No-Phenol enzymes, grapefruit seed extract for yeast, digestive enzymes - this is not a change from his previous routine, glutathione, and vitamin C) This regimen except to grapefruit seed extract and No-Phenol were recommended by our natropath. However, now he's got this very volumnous, yellow, nasty diarrhea (sorry for the graphic nature). He has it 3-4 times a day and it clearly coincides with starting the new diet, but I don't know why and I don't know what to do to help him. We also never figured out what his underlying issue was and that constantly bugs me. Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on? I'm starting to think we need to return to the natropath. ========== ========== .. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
