Re: What should I expect..

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

That's a whole lot to start all at once. Sometimes it's best to do

things gradually so that if there are any changes, both positive and

negative, you have a better chance of knowing what was responsible.

When you say Nutribiotic, do you mean grapefruit seed extract?

It's definitely possible to notice some changes rather quickly,

especially by eliminating problematic foods. Other things might be

more subtle or take a bit longer to manifest themselves. It might be

a good idea to keep some sort of journal, so you can keep track of

any physiological or behavioral changes.

It sounds like you are trying to tackle a yeast problem, judging by

some of your supplements, so you could see some die-off, which may

cause bowel changes, skin problems or behavioral changes. You also

may not see any of that. I would especially look for bowel changes,

since you are drastically changing her diet and adding quite a few

supplements.

You will learn to be quite a detective, and since Ava is non-verbal

right now, she cannot tell you how she is feeling, so you must be

extra vigilant....and patient.

I didnt think it was alot..lol..I just jumped in!..yes I am using the

grapeseed extract..why is that wrong?..I got the advice from someone

else, I was going to go with silver probiotics in liquid, but decided

on this instead. I am keeping a journal and keeping track of

everything I feed her and how much she ate, plus all her

suppliments. And of course I am keepiing track of behavior and and

any mood developments..

She is normally very passive so it will be easy to see any mood

changes, I do know she has changed in the last few days..I watch kids

for my county so I can stay home with my kids, and I watch 2 two year

olds in the afternoon. They are both very verbal and play well with

each other, Ava usually ignores them and does her own thing. But

today she was playing with them, they were all walking around

following each other. she was even the leader for a bit, she was

laughing so hard!..I cried in the kitchen so they wouldn't se me, but

I wanted to jump up and down and run outside and yell my complete joy

of it..I of course didnt because I was afraid of ruining her moment.

She never plays with anyone(with the exception of me..lol) and I am

not saying it was anything we have been doing,but I just hope it

comtinues..

I was just trying to clarify. Nutribiotic is a brand name, and they

make several supplements and other products, so i just wanted to make

sure it was the grapefruit seed extract.

> I got the advice from someone

I think you might mean colloidal silver. Probiotics are something

else. That would be the acidophilus and bifidus you are giving her.

Colloidal silver has its uses, but if you are trying to tackle yeast,

then the GSE is a good option.

Have you had labs done to determine what her specific issues are?

She had blood work done a few weeks ago, but that was ordered by her

nuerologist for trying to find out " what made her Autistic " ..there is

a DAN! doctor about 20 minutes away from us, but my insurance is

getting switched around and I dont even know if they will even help

with that cost, they havent called be back about continuing therapies

next month..so right now I am trying to just do what I can, and have

some kind of control over what is happening to us..I am not not sure

about the yeast issue even, I am doing this by ear and have no plans

on any period of time all this will take..(I wont be be doing yeast

for long periods of time,I am not sure you are supposed to).thanks

for the advice, and please let me know if you think of anything else,

I have no family around and her Dad is in denial about all of it. He

refuses to even visit. I feel like I am fighting for her alone, I am

tired of feeling helpless about it, it is time for action.

I'm so sorry about that, . It's so isolating for us

sometimes. I lead a mom's group for ASD kids once a week and

although much of the time we talk about our kids, we also talk about

marriage, movies, American Idol...whatever. Maybe you can find

something like that where you live. Our little group is also a great

place just to vent about almost anything. Lord knows I've been doing

it for YEARS! lol

Allie started talking about 5 days after we took out dairy & started

eliminating gluten. Within 2 mos she had a 100+ vocab. She was like

your daughter, it sounds like. She grabbed my hand, looked me in the

eyes & said, " Bye bye? " She was wanting to go inside. A day or so

later we were watching Mikey Waltrip near the lead in Talledaga race

yelling, " go-go-go. " Allie started yelling it & laughing. It just kept

coming. As to the supps, I cannot say.

Grasping at straws is what I do best. The first time Viv said Mommy

got me through about three years worth of uncertainty. I knew that

there was more to my little girl than everybody else saw and now at

age 12 we're starting to see it.

Celebrate all your victories!

Today is a good day.

Congratulations!!!!!!

That is very encouraging that she is going to be a big responder to

bniomedical intervention which is exciting.

Personally I don't think that's too much too fast.

GSE is a great supp to tackle yeast and probiotics are good for

everybody.

Just make sure you give the probiotics away form the GSE as GSE kills

yeast and Probiotics replenishes good bacteria in the gut, so GSE in

the afternoon and probiotics at night before bed would be a good

practice.

Bravo to you for your courage and for doing all you do.

Sometimes dads just need extra time to come to terms with it in their

own way.

Cheers,

Dana
