Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I will have to get an OAT test, but cannot afford it right now. They are pretty pricey and my insurance covers nothing. I would have to have a doctor's orders if I did it through Great Plains, right? I know that someone mentioned Berberine helps to get rid of Clostridia. I need something that can completely knock it out if it is the problem. Never thought about Ammonia levels. What is " normal " ? All this would show up on an OAT test, right? > > Wow! read your post and something just connected in my head.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Given the history, you probably know that lithium is used as a treatment for bi-polar disorder. Many kids on the spectrum are significantly deficient in lithium. That also appears to be the singular mineral dificiency common to moms of kids on the spectrum. Have you checked lithium levels? Taking a low dose of lithium--just enough to clear up the deficiency vs. the type of dosage given for anti-psychotic use in bi-polar kids can make a huge difference if the problem is lithium deficiency. Lithium deficiency can give symptoms of bi-polar-like mood swings and agression.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 My daughter hasn't been specifically diagnosed with bipolar disorder although I'm sure she suffers from it. It runs strongly in my husbands family. We talked to our DAN about this and she put her on 100mg Lithium Orotate a day. This is a natural mineral not an RX. It also helps for unipolar depression as well. She has definitely improved since taking this.. --Patience jenniferreif1 wrote: > > Hi Everyone! > > I am aware that bipolar disorder and autism are sometimes co-morbid > conditions.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 We went to my son's psychiatrist today. He upped his Prozac to 10 mg. a day. The doctor told me that he won't go any higher dosage wise. I wouldn't want him to anyway. If the increased Prozac doesn't help, then we will have to look at other things if the aggression doesn't subside more. He suggested trying out a mood stabilizer if the increase in Prozac shows no improvement. I think that he has ruled out the possibility of my son having early onset bipolar disorder. My son tends to mystify a lot of doctors, his DAN and psychiatrist included. He doesn't show the " typical " signs of someone who has autism. He makes eye contact, he has empathy, he can interpret facial expressions, he never has hand flapped nor walked on toes. He is extremely affectionate to those he knows (that is, when he isn't in one of his " moods " ). But our son's language is not where it should be nor are his social skills. What mystifies our DAN in particular is that our son is not a mercury kid. We did the porphryin test (at the French lab) and showed no mercury problems and he hasn't had any other significant problems with other metals in his system. He is responding to Acyclovir. It took a while, but I think that the fruits of our labor are starting to show. I also got my pediatrician to order an MRI. My son took a tumble out of a shopping cart and fell head first on to the concrete floor in a store when he was about 2. I took him to the doctor then to get checked out. He didn't suffer a concussion at that time, but who really knows if anything happened then. It was shortly thereafter that we saw a shift in his personality. He turned into a Jeckyll/Hyde personality. So I don't know, maybe the aggressiveness is a hidden brain injury, bacteria, yeast or bipolar disorder, who knows. > > > > Hi Everyone! > > > > I am aware that bipolar disorder and autism are sometimes co- morbid > > conditions.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Lithium orotate, which my 5 yr. old daughter takes, is a supplement. Its not real expensive either. I think its under $20.00 for a bottle of 100 or more capsules. You may want to check this out. Although my daughters DAN reccommended 2 capsules twice a day, I only give her 1 cap. twice a day.
