Worsening after an initial healing. Any experience?

[Guest guest]

We have a family of friends closeby with a child suffering of ASD. We

convinced them recently before the summer to start at least GFCF diet

and some nutrients (Supernuthera and DMG). After a summer with good

results (the child was getting the gut deflated, better stools and

more continuous attention), now it looks like things are getting much

worse. The bally is very big and tense, and the child is very weak,

on the contrary of prior to the diet when he was normally going on

the bike. They have recently undergone a comprehensive set of

analyses at Great Smokies and got yesterday results back. It looks

that the child has an impaired the Krebb Cycle with very high values

of Acid Citric and derivatives, as well as the methilation

sulfuration cycle, although they have found an extremely high value

of pyrogluttamic which normally I understand should be low, for low

gluthation. They report that recently the child is eating a lot of

lemons and oranges. Some candida metabolites have been found in the

stools. The child reports also a lot of mucus from the nose and in

the throat.

So far I have always seen that when things starts to get better with

diet and nutrients, usually they continue in that direction. Has

anybody ever reported similar response? Apart from the lemon and

oranges to be avoided for the citric, any other clue?

Thank you in advance.
