Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi Christy, I think becoming casein and gluten free are good steps in helping your son. After a good trial of the diet (some say 6 mos, many say a year) you will at least know if your child will respond to this. Another thing to is to give him as clean a diet as possible (organic, unprocessed, etc) and start supplementing with probiotics. Many people note that their children were unresponders to vitamin and supplement therapies, but after work on the gut, their child became a responder. You may also want to investigate natural anti-fungals, as yeast is often a huge problem with our kids. After that I would add a good multi-vitamin, followed by cold liver oil. Wait 4-7 days between each new thing, keep notes on how each intervention helps or doesn't. Kim --- christyfking wrote: > I am fairly new to this board.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi , yes I use culture starter and I let cvs sit out 7 days. Today I'm making a batch. My favorite batch is cabbage, beets, carrots, and garlic. Fermentation changes the food so if you're staying away from beets due to sugars, fermentation takes care of that. Many can't have cabbage due to thyroid/other reasons, fermentation changes this also. We've done really well with this blend. Beets great for liver! I use Ecobloom and or raw local honey to get the culture starter going while I shred the vegetables. Let me know!!! > > > > I am fairly new to this board.
