Arthur Krigsman at Autism One - Soft stool constipation

[Guest guest]

For those who didn't catch the live streaming of Autism One, Arthur Krigsman's

talk yesterday was excellent as usual.

He developed a careful and thorough case for autistic enterocolitis having

enough similarities to Crohns for the same treatments - anti-inflammatory meds -

to be justified for both.

Something I really liked in his talk was his use of the term " soft stool

constipation " to describe our kids constipation. Maybe I've been asleep, but

I've never heard this before - Krigsman acknowledged Simon Murch as the

originator of the term. It is very resonant for me and I'd have thought for

others who don't think their kids are constipated because they pass soft stools

frequently.

Also Krigsman doesn't think he's ever seen the classic hard impaction with

overflow diarrhoea in any of his ASD kids - just the soft stool mega loading.
