Re: Soy? Bad or okay?

[Guest guest]

So that's another thing I don't know about; the ABA program. Hannah

is eight and newly diagnosed so she doesn't qualify for early

intervention type of things. So I'm going at this blindly. I don't

know what agencies can help her because she is too old. And can

anyone tell me where this magic age of 8 comes from? I know there's

lots of kids who are lost in the cracks and are misdiagnosed for many

years. Just like my baby.

Thanks so much!

That's really good. I've seen too many parents try too many things at

once, and then not know what is making a difference in what behavior

or health issue. There are a lot of down sides to not knowing what is

working, the biggest of which is that a lot of parents feel more

justified in cheating because they think " well, maybe it's not the xyz

that's working... " Plus, there is a chance that some things will cause

side effects or negative reactions, so you want a clear picture of

what is happening there.

Oh, one other tip...when you introduce any change, don't mention it to

her school or therapists at first. See if they tell you about an

increase in attention span or whatever BEFORE they know you added

something new. Much easier to get objective observations that way. One

of my client's moms is planning a gluten challenge for her son

sometime, but I asked her not to tell us when...that way we'll be able

to see if there is a change in his behavior based on the data we

collect, not just " I think he's doing ok. " (He's allergic to milk, so

they won't be challenging that any time).

Where do you live? Unfortunately, that makes a big difference.

I'm an ABA consultant in Sacramento. Our agency provides ABA programs

for children 18 months to 15 years old, and behavior intervention

services (like a short term program to work on one specific behavior

by training parents) for ages 2 to 22. So, in our program, she

wouldn't be too old. I've started ABA programs for 10, 11, 12, and 13

year olds. Some of my coworkers have started them for older kids even.

I prefer the little bitty ones, so my oldest right now is 7 and has

been in the program for a little over a year. My youngest is 29

months. One of my client's moms is a member of this group, actually,

but I don't think she's been active recently. Her daughter has been

one of my kiddos for over a year and a half, and she'll be 4 this

month

Anyway, the point is, it's never too late to start

intervention...providing you can get it. And that can be tricky in

some areas. I've had a lot of kids who were not diagnosed until later,

but that doesn't mean anyone should be giving up on them. It's never

to late.

Hmm...the only thing I know about Wisconsin is that one of my friends

moved here from there in order to get therapy for her 7 year old.

Probably doesn't help you much. Insurance almost never covers ABA. In

Sacramento, it's paid for by our Regional Center, which is state

funded. It's easier to get ABA in Sacramento than pretty much anywhere

else in the country, which is why I moved here from Atlanta, actually.

Does she have an IEP? Hannah may not learn best from

ABA, some kids don't. Fortunately she has a dedicated

mother who wants to do what is best for her NOW not

when it is easy.

Does Hannah get occupational therapy or speech

therapy? Even if she talks fine they also do pragmatic

therapy (like the rules of conversation) and even

social groups in speech therapy sometimes. If she has

been learning mostly successfully up to this point,

and has areas that need " tweaked " rather than to learn

how to learn, ABA may be counter productive.

It all depends on your child. And yes, it is

confusing!

The Problem with soy is that it is very difficult to digest for anyone,

not only children. It irritates the gastrointestinal tract andblocks

absorption of vital nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper

and especially zinc due to phytic acid and oxalates. Soy also inhibits

thyroid function and cause endocrine disruption in the reproductive

hormonesof both males and females due to phytoestrogens.

When starting the GFCF make sure that you do not replace al the casein

with soy and all the gluten with corn.

Rice milk is a good way to start,also you can try goat milk or raw

milk, they are good to digest, and the shorter the life of the product

the better, meaning try to get everything fresh, and not the milks in

the boxes.

Raw milk is still milk though, so still contains casein, and should

not be used if you are doing a GFCF diet.

Ok, my opinion is probably more than a little biased, since my son had

a horrible allergy to corn, but as a result, I had to learn a lot

about it. Did you know that 75% of the packaged food found in regular

American grocery stores contains corn? It is in everything, and yet,

it is nearly impossible to digest! Anyone who has fed a toddler whole

corn and then changed their diaper knows that it comes out looking

just like it went in. And because it is so prevalent, more and more

people are developing sensitivities to it. There is a book about it:

" The Omnivore's Dilemma, " and a movie: " King Corn. " Corn syrup, and

especially high fructose corn syrup is the most common food trigger

for behavior problems in children, followed closely by artificial dyes

and colors, most of which contain...you guessed it...CORN!

I am very grateful that my son outgrew his allergy, because it makes

my life easier and my grocery bill lower, but we still try to avoid

corn in general. Especially corn syrup.

Oh..that makes me feel better. We treat corn syrup

and any hydrogenated oils as if they were poison. So

the type of corn I was talking about is fresh off the

cob, frozen, or canned. =)
