Re: [Dana in Michigan: laughing and giggling

[Guest guest]

Hello all. This is in reply to " Dana in Michigan's " question about

uncontrollable giggling. This is seen commonly in some children who have

Autism. Many parents have been able to trace the cause of it to foods that

have a high phenol/salicylate content. I cannot thoroughly explain it, but

some parents are having success with the giggling laughing episodes by

decreasing or limiting all together phenolic foods.

If you are interested more about this, please visit the enzymes and autism

board on e-groups, there is a mom there also by the name of Dana who has an

extensive list of phenolic foods. Her son reacted similar to this with

uncontrollable giggling, night-awakening, etc. until she removed these foods

from his diet.

Best wishes.
