Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 <<You say that when your kids get congested, you switch food and they improve...? are you talking about food allergies? ~kari>> Hi Kari, No, actually what I was referring to was the fact that as our diet elevates and improves, when we deviate from eating the way we're supposed to, our body sends us more obvious signs of that fact. Ideally, our diet should consist of mostly fresh fruits and vegetables and fresh water. Grains, legumes, etc. are important also, but not in as high quantities. So what I was saying is that when we upset that balance, eating lots of starchy foods (pasta, tofu, soy milk, breads, crackers, wheat, etc.) without salads or greens or fruits. And when we aren't drinking enough water, we end up with cold symptoms. Does that make more sense? Peace & Blessings, Yahmeema __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Since I'm pretty new to this too, I thought I'd answer. You will be referred to the archives to read up on chelation. From what I get so far, chelation is the process by which you eliminate mercury and other toxcins from the body with chelator agents. Many times children that have been mercury poisoned do present with food allergies. I believe that the vaccines and the mercury contained in the vaccines have compromised the child's digestive system, therefore they cannot digest a lot of foods properly. There is another site, GFCFKids that can help you out more with that. This is just a very simple explanation. I would imagine that kids could have allergies without being autistic or mercury poisoned. I don't know a lot about celiac spur other than the fact that those people are highly allergic to wheat.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 thanx for the info! i am in the process of trying to get tests done for celiac and mercury. my daughter has anaphylaxis when exposed to dairy and egg products, even touching her with allergen can cause reaction. my son is highly sensitive to noise and touch (covers his ears, cries, makes terrified face, problems with keeping clothes on, tags and itchy fabric or appliques), but has low sensitivity in his mouth which causes slobbering and grinding teeth and he is nearly 4 yrs. other than the sensory issues he is developmentally ok so far. i have read somewhere that removing the mercury if it is present may alleviate allergies? too many questions!

My kids have food allergies which are improving with chelation. heard of celiac > disease? Several people who have children with a celiac diagnosis, their children have been able to return to eating gluten after chelation. So I believe there is at least a subset of celiac which is metal triggered. Here is a site for general celiac information. http://www.celiac.com/index.html my daughter has severe food allergies to milk, egg and > moderate to wheat, soy, peanut. and has a close relative of nearly > the same age with autism, worried about mercury poisoning, also my > son has had therapy for sensory problems which continue still. Sensory issues can be food and/or metal related. and, > what is chelation? i'm lost! help! thanx! My chelation page, which gives a general description and references to other sources for more information http://www.autismchannel.net/dana/chelate.htm Well I hope that helped.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Some people do have dramatic changes when they eliminate certain foods. I went on a two-three week elimination diet when I learned I had RA. (You can find guidelines on the Internet--you simply eliminate typically troublesome foods for that period of time and them slowly reintroduce them, watching for problems.) I found it valuable. Mainly, I made a connection between eating dairy products and sinus troubles. Changing my diet didn't dramatically improve my RA, but I'm doing well, and good food choices contributes to that.
