Re: I need help....diaper rash

[Guest guest]

>Diaper rashes can usually be cleared up just putting plain old corn

starch on the rash. I don't know much about " sleeping fears " but we

did have a few night terrors when Evan was an infant and he grew out

of it. What specific information were you looking for?<

It sounds to me like this isn't the typical diaper rash. I know that when

autism emerged in Tristan along with the severe gastro problems that he would

have a burned bottom every where the diarreah touched (chronic) The Ped told me

it was from yeast in the stools. When we took him to a Gastro he said it

wasn't. Soon after we started him on the GF/CF diet and he hasn't had that

problem. Now it is more constipation. I suspect that her diaper rash is caused

from diet. Also, the night terrors could be caused from reflux as I have read

many autistic children have these symptoms of waking in the night screaming, and

then they have been diagnosed with the severe reflux such as Ray Gallops son. I

also would like to make a comment about the CPS taking a child away for diaper

rash. It makes me angry to think they could traumatize a child by removing her

from her mom for that reason. I'm assuming that Leigh Ann is a loving mom

coping with the serious problems of autism and not getting help from the

professionals. If this is the case the CPS should be taken to task. This could

happen to any parent of an autistic child because of all the potential

situations that exist that are not normal for children and could be misconstrued

as bad parenting. Just had to vent.

Dear :

As if we didn't have ENOUGH trouble, Evan was hospitalized for

salmonella Easter week. Talk about a MAJOR LEAGUE rash! He was given

a high-powered antibiotic the first night in the ER, and then was on

D-5 (since he wasn't eating) and it wasn't like we left him sitting in

it...it was immediately obvious when he'd pooped! The nurse on the

" general dehydrated & throwing up " floor (not even peds) couldn't help

me, but called a L & D nurse who recommended the corn starch. We went

from LITERALLY running away screaming from the Rash Spray to having it

almost HEALED within 12 hours (once the diarrhea slowed down of

course). The nice thing about corn starch (and not an antifungal or

anything) is that it's not designed to work for a specific type of

rash...it's not designed at all, it's just natural.

I have also heard (anectodally) of applying yogurt to a bad rash.

Love,

Diane.

Just a thought on help for serious rashes

Don't use wet ones to clean their bottoms off, use water only

and be sure to pat dry don't rub. Even letting the child go without

a diaper or pull-up on will help, just getting air to the sore bottom will

help.

One you could use Triple antibiotic oint, if it looks like a burn

the other is by prescription for real life burns, called Silvadean <
