DS and gastritis

Sherri-

Within minutes of reading your post , I read this one on a private list I'm on

for families on program with neurodevelopementalists. Many of the families on

this list are also using a company called ChemBalance to address metabolically

issues of their labled children and well as a whole litany of digestive orders.

I asked for permission to post this here, the mom was responding to a new family

who asked if CB works for DS children. I know it's not exactly the same

situation as your situation, but this child hadn't grown in 2 years and has now

put on 8 lbs since starting the program in March. Chembalance relies largely on

electrolytes and sometimes minerals to balance the ph in the stomach. Their goal

is to get you eating a balance diet of real home cooked foods and get rid of as

many meds and supplements as possible. (As in your system is working good enough

you don't need them anymore).If you want more info go to www.chembalance.com

there is also a nice article on ds/autism dx on our ND's website at

www.ican-do.net she has hepled alot of children with this double dx. Hope this

helps.

I have a son who is 5 ( this month 6) who has DS. We have been on all the NvD

products since a little over 1 yr. old.

He is also on piracetam and armour thyroid. But he always was a sick little

boy. I have talked to Rob P from IN and even Dr. L if you know these people.

To no avail.

5-6 times a yr. would get a fever. Then engulfing, overwhelming

mucus, which in turn caused " junky lungs " , viral pneumonia or/and reg.

pneumonia. This meant weeks of steroids,antibiotics and use of a nebulizer

machine. Even when all better he still was somewhat congested and had rattles

in his chest. Every little bug around would cause him to secrete more mucus

and have to go back on steroids.

We started CB the beginning of March. The first thing I noticed was the

congestion left, he had more energy, his expressive language came out more,

he noticed more about the world around him, his bowels improved. Before you

could say was compliant and passive. Now his is a normal, full of

energy, active little boys testing his limits.

But I was waiting to see what would happen IF and when the fever came back.

It did last week. He was sitting up at 2 a.m. coughing, crying sputtering

with mucus on his lips with a fever. My dh and I prayed, gave tylenol and vit

C. In the morning ; he seemed very well, fever gone, no congestion. Only some

more mucus on lips told me it wasn't a dream.

He still was not his self....not eating well, lying around, tummy growling.

So I called at CB. After a conference with , she called back with

instructions. We did them and is totally o.k. No meds, no steroids,

no stress, no nothing.

So, yes CB is good for DS kids ;even " normal " DS kids. I can't explain it all

but they believe basically if the stomach ph is right then your body can

absorb the vits, and minerals it is supposed to from foods. We are not on a

weird diet and is denied nothing to eat. We didn't have to buy lots

of supplements either...just electrolytes that so far have lasted us 2 months

on one bottle.

In the DS community they say NO dairy. Which before CB we did restrict

because of the mucus problem. now eats yogurt, pudding, custards and

has milk in lots of foods that I did not put it in before. He is even

learning to drink milk. He is the healthiest he has ever been..even with

drinking milk and eating dairy.

It is $70 for an initial telephone conference and $30 or $35 for each time

you return the checklist. So for us it was an answer to prayer. 3 cheers for

CB. Thanks Cyndi.
