now he has a homemade GF choc cake once a week and the rest of the time eats savoury-toast,potato smiles,scrambled egg and a couple of sausages at school(still mostly crap I know but its a BIG improvement).

>>better than Sam's self limited diet

Actually removing the sugar did stop all the horrible twitching he used to do.

>>Good - that's actually awesome!, now you are remembering, celebrate the tiny gains

We started him on Zyme Prime 1/4 ts 3x daily for about 6 mth,since then he's been on Tri Enza 2 caps 3xdaily.

>>A full dose of TriEnza is 2 caps per meal, you might try increasing that on the bigger meals

No never done a bowel clear out,never been suggested,what's that for?

>>To get all the crud out, breeding ground for gut bugs, bacteria issues and parasite cause biting behaviour here due to low frustration levels I think and impulsive behaviour

His poop is usually once a day,mushy but not runny,dark brown unless he has Ready Brek then it turns pale yellow.

>>>My gut feeling (no pun) is that he likely has an impaction. one of the DAN's many on this list see collected some figures on her patients these are old now, must get an update, but I think it was 40 of 42 kids xrayed were either impacted or loaded, including kids with flat bellies who pooped everyday. All improved after clear outs, a couple even starting taking for first time! New poop moves around old poop which can get to the stage that's its like concrete.

If the bowel is full of crud then supplements won't be absorbed properly and may even p[rocide food for the gut bugs in the crud.

I think has most folks do an Oxypowder clear out as a starting point, clean out the pipes and then put nutrients and supports in place to keep things moving on through.

The nutritionist diagnosed leaky gut and prescribed probiotics along with the diet and a multi vit & min supplement. So he takes Ultra Probioplex ND caps x2 daily

>>There is soy in that probio, may or may not be an issue, 2 caps is giving 15,000 CFU's, one cap of CP1 would give min of 50,000 and no soy or casein FWIW

but the Metagenics Ultracare for kids he won't go anywhere near.He used to eat munch bunch fromage frais(18 in one go if we let him!)

>>Sam would too!

but we stopped them during the sugar free diet.I know he still likes them so I'm thinking it might be possible to use them to mix supps in during the day.As for night,well ? squirt into his mouth quickly?,or resort to holding his nose? I don't know.

>>Whatever works, it will get easier in time, I promise

The biting happens when he is very angry or upset,he also hits and sometimes kicks. The shouting and screaming has gone from happening when he was frustrated etc to being his main form of communication.

>>yes we have been there too............

He doesn't speak or sign or use PECS, he used to just go get what he wanted or take you to it,now he just screams & lets you guess.

>>What is the reason he doesn't have any functional means of communication?

When he's not screaming ,he's stimming vocally in a very loud,very high pitch, our neighbours must hate us!

>>If I was in your situation I would be doing a clear out as a first job, he could be in pain with this and even if it doesn't help it won't hurt and that's something to tick off the list.

Is he teething also? Premolar time I think?
