New to group question about NT daughter

January 17, 2007

I stumbled upon this group after viewing Stna's video " Death by Flu

Shot? " . I was drawn to this as without a doubt this was the trigger

for my son who spiraled into autism after back to back flu vaccines

at 9 and 10 mos. I am happy to report that my son, now 3 1/2, is

recovered. Dr Bradstreet our DAN! told us this summer that

should register with ARI as reocovered and we had a formal re-

evaluation in December at the University of Pittsburgh Autism Center

which declared he no longer met criteria for ASD. He is still

medically fragile though and requires quite a bit of medical

supports to function at this level and still has a chronically

bloated belly (more about that in a later post).

Anyway, I saw on Stan's website how diet cured chronic eczema for

the indivuduals in the videos. My NT dd who is 6 has had horrible

eczema for most of her life. We tried GFCF for 5 1/2 months without

improvement. She has had an OAT and CDSA which were essentially

normal with the exception of not enough beneficial flora (she noe

takes Probiotics every night). My son was very restricted on SCD

for 2 years (no eggs, nuts, dairy, seeds, beans, bananas due to high

IgE allergies). This still did not clear his eczema. It took a

prescription of Singulair plus diet to clear his up (he still has

occassional flares but nothing too bad). Of course we have also

tried Singulair with our dd without improvment. She had IgG testing

a couple of years ago through Great SMokies which showed lots of

very low IgG foods but few 1+, 2+, or 3+. It would be impossible to

go SCD and eliminate all the very low IgG foods and still have a

healthy diet with enough calories. She is on most of the

supplements Stan suggests. Do you think I need to go very

restricted SCD with her to clear her eczema? What about later

adding potatoes, rice, or sweet potaotes? It is pretty difficult to

talk a 6 year who is NT into a very restricted diet so I don't want

to have to limit it any more than necessary.

Thanks for the help,

Meghan
