Your experiences: diet, DAN doctors, glutathione etc.

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

This is my first post, as I've only recently joined the group. I would

appreciate any help regarding the biomedical approach, especially on different

diets, finding a good DAN doctor (or advice on working without one), and

experiences on glutathione. It's really difficult to find any experts where we

live (Finland), so any help would be welcome!

I have a 3-year-old son, who developed autism like behaviour (airiness, lack of

concentration, repetitive and self stimulating behavior, regression in language

and development etc.) last autumn. He had a couple of infections with high fever

in the autumn, and I feel this had a lot to do with his regression (he also had

4 sets of antibiotics as well as other medications). We had three EEG's and an

MRI plus some blood tests (genes, mainly) in January. They revealed nothing,

just that he had vacuole cells (1200 per cell), and will be retested for this. I

put my son on GFCF diet mid January and also started giving him Omega-3 (E-EPA,

500 mg/day) and L-Carnosine (400-800 mg/day). I'm planning on trying glutathione

next, as well as maybe Epsom salts (baths?). I also plan to have him tested for

yeast and viruses etc., which they refused to test in public health care, even

if it was at your own cost.

Since January we've had quite a bit of development, including:

- more language (this continues to be an issue, though, and words are often

blurred)

- better eye contact

- less spinning around (he used to do this a LOT)

- progress in dressing/undressing

- occasional success on the potty

- learning to do more complex puzzles (12 pieces).

So I want to go on with the approach and would like help with the following:

- EXPERIENCES ON DIFFERENT DIETS (am thinking of trying SCD or Body Ecology

instead of GFCF): Which one did you find worked for you?

- FINDING A GOOD DAN! DOCTOR. It seems that we need to go overseas for this, so

I would like to find an excellent one to make it worth the effort. Any

recommendations, please?

- EXPERIENCES ON WORKING WITHOUT A DAN!: Is it doable? Any advice, good

literature etc.?

- GLUTATHIONE (am thinking of trying transdermal or a liposomal supplement;

which do you recommend?)

- OTHER SUPPLEMENTS: What should I try next/Which supplements helped you the

most?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read the post

and good luck with recovering your loved ones!
