Guest guest Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Yes, absolutely. High levels of histamine are well known to result in OCD, amongst other things. Histamine interferes with many neurotransmitters, including seratonin metabolism. It contributes greatly to BBB breakdown, you may want to look into reducing the levels asap.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 if using make sure they are h1 blockers: loratidine/claritin, ketotifen/zaditen or benadryl > > > > > > > > > > 's OCD is up at the moment, anyone notice the same with Hayfever? > > Vicky > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I meant to say vitC didn't work for us at all - didn't reduce histamine-related reactions... none of the other naturals did The antihistamines I listed are all OTC, apart from Ketitofen. I'd try loratidine/claritin first, if that does not work wonders get gp to prescribe ket.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi, Katy has been taking Sodium Chromoglycate for the past 6 yrs. It really has changed her life for the better. The immunologist also prescribed Singulaire and Ceterizine. She starts taking these in early March before the hayfever season gets underway and continues taking them through to October. Since doing this ,she has had little to know hayfever or excema and her Autism also improved. We tried ketotifen in the past and didn't see much improvement with this, but I may not have used it for long enough. This probably isn't a lot of help now, but i think you can get sodium chromoglicate eye drops OTC . She has also been helped with Nasonex nasal drops in the past.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Very interesting, thanks Sharon. I've just been looking into leukotrine LTE4 antagonism (by acyclovir of all things!), but now that you mention Singulair... - imo this could often be an important inflammatory pathway in autism, an important thing to target. Just curious if you've ever tried either acyclovir or valtrex? (I'm not sure if valtrex has the same effect though, no studies done tmk) Natasa > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 's OCD is up at the moment, anyone notice the same with > > > Hayfever? > > > > > Vicky > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 forgot to ask what form of Sodium Chromoglycate - oral?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Before the Sodium chromoglycate she just seemed to react to everything , had terrible jerking when she had eaten , huge swollen tummy, could not concentrate or remember much, hardly any speech even though she was having plenty of great input. She was a very unhappy little soul. The Sodium Chromoglicate was for her food allergies and I think it has just dampened down her immune system that was over reacting to everything. Once her system was quietened down, she could tolerate more foods and environmental things. Her bowel started working better and she didn't have as much brain fog or maybe pain. Her speech and understanding came on and she became more involved with us. If you remember we tried all sorts of biomed with Katy ,but she just could not tolerate hardly anything and would regress and get sick. Katy is still autistic but is not sick all the time now ,she seems very healthy and is steadily gaining. Her school is fantastic , I know we are lucky. She starts yr 10 next Sept and they feel she is doing well enough to work for her Maths and Art Gsce's. I'm not that bothered about GCSE's it just an example to show how she is now able to learn. I feel the SC has played a major part in enabling this Sharon x > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 's OCD is up at the moment, anyone notice the same with > > > Hayfever? > > > > > Vicky > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi Natasa, She takes oral Sodium Chromoglycate 300mgs 1/2 hr before food 3x day. I think this is quite a high dose, but several Consultants feel it is safe. We can give her another 300mgs if needed. She has never had any acyclovir or valtrex.
