Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hi Jennie--I see you've been doing some reading online! ;-) Yes, Krigsman is a doc that I had wanted you to check into whether or not you and dh could go see him. He sees a lot of out of state patients. He is one of probably only a handful of GI docs that really focus in on autism related gut problems. I think he is aware of the problems that some kids have on miralax, but I think he still uses it in his practice for clean-out procedures, so if you/anyone went to him, just be up front with him about your child's reaction to it and how you need to have something else for any procedures that need to be done.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 W, Im sorry, I couldnt remember what yahoo group recommended it to me, my memory isnt very good. I do remember it was you now. Also I belong to other groups and I get a little confused who wrote what! ha, ha I had it in my favorites, couldnt find it, found it, then posted. It is the first time I think I actually read it!! They have a great facility in Texas with other docs. It is the first time we feel like someone understands our son. To much medical for us now! But dh said maybe we can next year!! Thank you, thank you! Wish I would have payed more attention to you earlier about them!!! I was to focused on what caused his problems and now I need to focus on the cure!!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 , What else is available besides Miralax that is safe for an extremely leaky-gut kid? Wouldn't an enema do the same thing?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 " Several East Texas school officials said they aren't concerned about the change because schools have been making efforts to improve special education students' scores for a few years. " Why would they be " concerned " when they push " modified content " and then follow it up with " TAKS-M " ?????? And don't believe that there is not any " major " differences between the TAKS and TAKS-M, because there is a HUGE difference. As an example: TAKS math ?: You have $20.00 and spend $2.50 at one store; $3.45 at another store; and then finally $1.15 at another store, how much do you have left? TAKS-M SAME math ?: You have $1.00 and spend .50, how much is left? So, the morale of this story is if you dummy down WHAT one must teach a child (I KNOW that modified content is SUPPOSE to NOT change the " WHAT " is being taught, but believe me it DOES, as I get a list of what has and has not been taught and there is a TON that has NOT been taught, hence the achievement gap keeps growing), then back it up with dummy-downed statewide testing, would you be " concerned " about meeting AYP? In an article I read recently it showed that Texas stated that 85% of its students met " statewide " standards of proficiency; however, the NWEA only found that ONLY 27% of those same students ACTUALLY met " national " standards of " proficiency.
