Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 All this time I had been giving my daughter 100% juice thinking it was the best thing for her and I didn't like the idea of chemicals, additive, preservatives, etc. Now since the SIB is getting worse and she has gained weight I have switched to diet juices or diluting regular juices. I am wondering how much damage I have done. When at home she has juice at the counter all day long and drinks alot, at least 50ozs or more. At school she only has 2 juice boxes all day which are like 120 cal each. I don't think it is normal for someone to constantly drink all day long. I also bought the powder stuff to flavor water. She doesn't drink anything but juice. Once in awhile if we are out and there is nothing but water, she will drink it. When she was younger she only drank soy milk and I would buy it by the case. She won't even drink chocolate milk. I read something yesterday that said excessive drinking was also considered SIB. Someone told me that Duke has a DS Clinic. That's a half hour away and I am wondering if they have experience with autism also. Even though the psychologist that saw her for 20-30 minutes said no to autism, I feel she does. Everyone around her feels she does. The journey never ends. Except this time lately when Emelinne is acting out in public and someone looks, I get angry and I feel like saying something to them.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 that is about the age i really started having problems with my son, taylor. he is DS/Autistic and was diagnosed with ODD. he will be 18 11/01, and two years ago, he became increasingly aggressive. we were trying different meds and prozac and adderall sent him through the roof! has there been a med change or anything else that changed that upset him? our kids are so OCD that anything that upsets taylor's routine usually makes him angry.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 HAs anyone checked to see if she has diabetes? or diabetes insipidus? Both of these cause a great need to drink, but are not the only possibilities. Traveling 30 minutes to get to DUKE, IMHO, will be worth it, but first marshall all the evidence you cqan remember and take with you on SIB, OCD, perseverative behaviors, etc. Do an autism check list. Aks her teachers what they think and take their reports as well. Juice is alot of calories. Soy has huge amouonts of estrogen - be wary of much of that. if there is nothing but water, will she drink it??

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Elie's worst year was between 18-19. We had tried a number of SSRI's and anti depressants and stimulants. Nothing worked enough to justify the weight gain, mood swings, and at the end the VIOLENCE from Zoloft. So we took him off everything. Then we really got aggressive with behavioral means. EVERYTHING was put on a contingent basis. His life was scheduled and he knew what was going to happen in advance each day. We calendarred everything and went over it each nite. Things didn't improve overnite, but over a course of months with the school following the plan the same as we did at home. I must say, that the school psychologist was a great help to us. Everything we wanted him to do was prefaced by " First you need to ..... and then you may do....... " What ever he did got a reward - even if only 5 minutes of computer time, or his special music or even playing with his stuffed baby. Believe me, it was not always easy, but it was so much easier then dealing with the violent outbursts and unpredictable behavior. Elie is still dependent on checking his clendar and asking " what's next " ? BUt he has way fewer meltdowns, no aggression, and he is happier.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Irma, Hi, I am interested in what supplements helped to turn off the anger. My son has extreme self abusive behaviors, and we have been battling this for years with no avail. He has gone blind in one eye from it and his last episode was to develop a hematoma in his ear, which we had to have surgery on. We have tried practically everything, but he still hits.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 , May I ask which state you are at? Maybe someone on this list or I have connections with could refer your son to be seen by a medical physician that understands like the DAN! Protocol or close to addressing like a Immunologist/Allergist or an Internal Medicine physician and then of course any Chiropractor, Homeopathic, etc. I would highly suggest have your son tested in regards to rule out if he is suffering from any underlying medical condition with a doctor that understands like the DAN (Defeat Autism Now!)protocol. Were you able to read what Cyndi had posted in regards to the PANDA testing, highly recommend this as what you had mentioned could probably detect on what your son is undergoing. This would be great start to try to pinpoint on what is triggering off this challenging behavior and once according to his lab results findings and the recommendation treatments then would also consider someone like a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analysis)who could assist addressing the challenging behavior which you have mentioned that results in self-injury, or injury to others, causes damage to the physical environment, interferes with the acquisition of a new skill and/or socially isolates him. Behavior is communication who have limited communication skills, challenging behavior serves to communicate needs and wants. Disclaimer, not a medical professional and one must really be monitor by a medical professional who understands this approach. I could share one of the supplements but not the dosage as remember my son was monitor by a medical team and also a nutritionist/Homeopathic and it was individualized to my son's needs. Google it to inquire information on it. Inositol has a natural calming effect and may be used in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder without the side effects of prescription medications. It was Inositol+, a nervous system support. My oldest son was recommended this as well due to his anxiety issues. http://www.neurogistics.com/Conditions/PanicDisorder.asp http://www.neurogistics.com/ Bless your heart for all these challenges you and your family have encounter. Wishing you well towards seeking other avenues to help your son.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Irma, Thank you for your heart warming reply. We are from Pennsylvania, and I would do any of the following information you suggested for Nate. I did not even know what DAN was until I joined this group. My pediatrician, always just shakes his head, but never gives us any hope. If you could steer me in a direction of who I could see first, that would be a help. Nate is 20, and this has been going on since he was about 12. We do have a lot of things going on, but not anymore than the rest of what I am hearing. This group has been a God sent for me. I wish I would have know about it years ago.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 My son has always been very self destructive. After awhile the hitting becomes second nature. Meds for us do not stopp the self injurious behaviors. You have to retrain the child not to hit himself with arm braces and sometimes face/head gear. KKI made arm braces for us and my son cannot get them off. When the behavior starts you put the braces on and count. Take off the braces but just as soon as the behavior starts you put them on again.Take away movies, music what ever your child enjoys most and let him only have it when you catch him being good and for a shot period of time. Token or reward worked for my son but if you get lax it does not work.Dr. Bernard Rimland did studies on high amounts of vitamin B-6 with Magnesium. This has been a big help with my son. We also switched to the GF/CF diet and it has helped to open his mind up from the fog.PANDAS TEST (STREP INFECTION) CAN CAUSE ) OCD BEHAVIORS,TICS, ETC http://www.adhd.com.au/PANDAS.htm I hope all this helps. good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I found one DAN doctor in the Raleigh area. Integrative Medicine. I guess he is the one that would check all levels of vitamins, etc. since the endocrinologist only checked for a few things then?

Maybe someone on this list or I have connections with could refer your son to be seen by a medical physician that understands like the DAN!

Were you able to read what Cyndi had posted in regards to the PANDA testing, highly recommend this as what you had mentioned could probably detect on what your son is undergoing. This would be great start to try to pinpoint on what is triggering off this challenging behavior and once according to his lab results findings and the recommendation treatments then would also consider someone like a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analysis)who could assist addressing the challenging behavior which you have mentioned that results in self-injury, or injury to others, causes damage to the physical environment, interferes with the acquisition of a new skill and/or socially isolates him. Behavior is communication who have limited communication skills, challenging behavior serves to communicate needs and wants. Disclaimer, not a medical professional and one must really be monitor by a medical professional who understands this approach. I could share one of the supplements but not the dosage as remember my son was monitor by a medical team and also a nutritionist/ Homeopathic and it was individualized to my son's needs. Google it to inquire information on it. Inositol has a natural calming effect and may be used in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsiv e disorder without the side effects of prescription medications. It was Inositol+, a nervous system support. My oldest son was recommended this as well due to his anxiety issues. http://www.neurogis tics.com/ Conditions/ PanicDisorder. asp http://www.neurogis tics.com/ Bless your heart for all these challenges you and your family have encounter.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 , Let me point you in the direction to help you with the staph and strep infection. They are both caused by bacteria but not the same. Also did the dermatologist culture what is on her buttucks to make sure it is staph? Rash on my Daughters bottom would not heal when she was little because it was yeast and the Dr.'s were treating it as diaper rash or staph. The Dr. told me to use Lotramine foot cream and her but healed in 2 days. Her little bottom looked horrible and the meds made it worst. If in fact your daughter has staph make sure that you bleach everything the tub after a bath the washcloth and towels. This way you know the bacteria is not living in the tub and so you did not get the staph infection from using the towels. My sons DAN doctor said to do this. Also some DAN docs recommend putting a capful of bleach in the bath water to kill the staph on the skin. I could not do this with my son because he slams hits feet in the water and splashes water all over the floor and then laughs. Not funny for me the person getting wet. STaph infections like cellulitis, MRSA, and even impetiago can be very tricky and hard to get rid of. My son has had cellulitis a total of 3 times on his head and face. I have pictures of him in our pictures section look for Burns. Work on building up the immune system with probiotics and a good supplement like Juice plus. Vitamin A is for skin etc try giving that to her also. I did 40 HBOT treatments to get the open wounds healed up on my sons head from the cellulitis staph and spent 4 weeks in VA doing this. Two months after I was home my son got cellulitis again. I have had him on a list of supplements for over a year and no recurrent cellulitis.Here is the other info on staph/strep.What you should know Two types of common bacteria can make you very ill: staphylococcus and streptococcus (staph and strep). Staph and strep live on the skin, especially in warm moist areas like your nose, mouth and genitals. Generally they do not cause problems. But when the skin is chafed or broken, staph and strep bacteria can enter the wound and cause a skin infection. Shaving and sweating can increase the chances of an infection. Many skin infections are caused by strep bacteria but skin infections with boils or pimples are often caused by staph.http://www.staphaseptic.com/news.cfm?id=5FD9CC84-FEC7-83B4-BEBAE67CECD5FE8\ 9 Cyndi B > > my daughter has an ongoing staph infection. she has a rash on her buttocks. dermatologist gave topical ointment and ped gave a liquid med that i ended up throwing away because she could taste it in her juice and it was a high dosage. this has been for years. what effect does this have on her system besides it being uncomfortable for her? you mentioned strep so isn't that a staph infection? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My husband and I are at our wits end with our son ph and don't know what to do. �ph's behavior towards everyone has gotten really bad. �He's hitting, kicking, biting, yelling, throwing things, using toys and other things as weapons, and generally being abusive to his brothers, sisters, dad, me, our cats, and even his speech therapist. �He's always angry and we don't know why. �Is it puberty? �He'll be 11 next month. �How do we get him to stop being abusive? > > > > > > > Dena > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 > > Irma, > Where can I find information on the PANDA testing, would that be in the archives. > Thanks > , Glad Cyndi responded per your question. Cyndi has had her share of stories with her son's challenging issues as well before seeking some of the underlying medical issues triggered symptoms her son was undergoing until she took some action, really some action in other avenue to where her son is receiving some treatments, testing needed to getting to know a well known medical physician who understands and really glad that her son is receiving some comfort of relief. I am also involved as Chair person for the San National Autism Association of Central Texas which is a supportive city with Austin's NAA of Central Texas. I have heard most of the doctors listed at the autism medical conferences, all good. If time allows to glance at some of the powerpoint presentations or hear from several listed. You could find it here on this link under the Autism One conference. Click on Search Autismone/Search all categories and the annual conferences powerpoint presentation will pop up. http://www.autismone.org/content/about-us Right above, you see Radio, this is where you will find the Autism One Radio where most of the speakers at the conferences are being interviewed which is just amazing. http://www.autismone.org/content/autismone-radio Does this physician apply the PANDA testing on this resource list? Will all depend on the resource list listed.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 No, actually I never found a Dan doctor in this area. The one I did find was in land (Dr. Love). She seems to be the one that everyone in my area sees. We have yet to have the $$ to take Jake. We are wheat/gluten and dairy free with him. He is still on Risperdal and Focalin. Those things have helped tremendously. We did take Jake to Dr. Klinek at FAmily Center for Allergy & Asthma for both allergy tests and an immunology work up. Dr. K does not really beleive that Autism is caused by the shots (she did her intership with one of the doctors involved with some of the research) however, she does not belittle any parent feelings and is okay with people doing what they feel they need to rule things out. She was very helpful and easy to talk with.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I was told once a long time ago when nathan was a little guy and I was worried about how thirsty he always was, his ds special doc said its often normal for someone with ds to by thirsty because they are often mouth breathers losing lots of their body's fluid when they exhale, making them want to drink more to make up for that loss. We just use those sport jugs, nathan calls it his " juice jug " and fill it half full of ice, a crystal light packette, and water==my boys are really into crytal light juices anymore. but he loves regular juice still too, but he would also drink anything, even tried to drink a can of polyurethane at grandmas house, uugh, he was shiny for weeks. We switched to crystal light as nathan is prediabetic for a hand full of years now, and though he is not overweight, he tends to run high fasting blood sugars so he is on a counted carb diet from his nutritionist, and he can drink his crytal light as much as wants as no carb points, as he isnt really a fan of just plain water, lol. shawna May all your life's ups and downs be with a needle and thread. http://sewshawna.blogspot.com From: nevergrowingup59 Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 5:49 AM To: Subject: Re: What should we do? All this time I had been giving my daughter 100% juice thinking it was the best thing for her and I didn't like the idea of chemicals, additive, preservatives, etc. Now since the SIB is getting worse and she has gained weight I have switched to diet juices or diluting regular juices. I am wondering how much damage I have done. When at home she has juice at the counter all day long and drinks alot, at least 50ozs or more. At school she only has 2 juice boxes all day which are like 120 cal each. I don't think it is normal for someone to constantly drink all day long. I also bought the powder stuff to flavor water. She doesn't drink anything but juice. Once in awhile if we are out and there is nothing but water, she will drink it. When she was younger she only drank soy milk and I would buy it by the case. She won't even drink chocolate milk. I read something yesterday that said excessive drinking was also considered SIB. Someone told me that Duke has a DS Clinic. That's a half hour away and I am wondering if they have experience with autism also. Even though the psychologist that saw her for 20-30 minutes said no to autism, I feel she does. Everyone around her feels she does. The journey never ends. Except this time lately when Emelinne is acting out in public and someone looks, I get angry and I feel like saying something to them.
