Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Just a couple of questions...I know it is hard to compare kids, but I guess most mom's regardless of their situation do it.Anyone else do the Autism Research Institute E2 diagnostic checklist? We just got our #'s back and a whole packet of info that looks useful including biomedical research, of which I already was aware of most d/t a reading of the book 'Children With Starving Brains.' I wonder now if anyone has gone through any of the independant labs like Great Plains Laboratory and gotten metabolic blood testing or the gluten casein urin sensitvity stuff?My problem is that my husband is in total denial, and if it ain't broke don't fix it. He's alright with our 3 1/2 year old son getting OT and ST because so far we've used grant monies (MRDD / Project Chatter), but he sees these as harmless even if there is nothing the matter (he scored a -3 total on the E2 and that is indicative of an autistic diagnosis). But he's not alright with implamenting a GFCF diet or enzyems or other supplements. I feel with testing at least I would have numbers in hand to gain his support...though I'm not sure that the pediatrician is gonna wanna sign off on the lab slips (the lab says they take Blue Cross insurance though so that could be good).Anyone have their kids drinking special juices for theraputic reasons? I'm new, so if this is a dumb question because of sugar / yeast issues, please pardon me. I ask 'cause my dad suggested unsweetened cranberry juice for the vitamins and papya juice for enzymes. Also, any good sucess with fish oil?Anyone go to the GFCF day at Jungle Jim's? I wanted to go, but as with most things logistics are a trial to say the least.Thanks,Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
