Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 I began Zachary on goat yogurt a week ago and I just wanted to report that he is doing well with it. He had some old behaviors including tantruming, lots of tears, hyperactivity and lots of rigidity for the first 5 days. He also seemed less able to communicate with me for the first couple of days and began soaking the bed multiple times at night again. I decided to sweat it out and gave him some epsom salt baths on days 4 and 5 and this seems to have helped him. To my relief, he is acting pretty much back to normal the last couple of days. He has also started building with his Tinker Toys which is something he has not been able or willing to do before. He is a kid that has not had a strong reaction to casein in the past. We believe gluten is our biggest problem and that casein might be a problem. The one other time I tried to add casein back to his diet (9 months ago with cow products and prior to SCD), I never noticed an immediate reaction, but over time I felt he was less and less " with it " and he developed pretty severe constipation. So, only time will tell for us, but so far I am encouraged and hopeful that the goat products will remain a part of his diet. As long as I feel he is continuing to make gains and not falling back into a brain fog, we will keep the yogurt in his diet. We are using enzymes and I am only giving about 1 spoonful of yogurt with each meal at this point. Thought those of you thinking about trying the yogurt would be interested in hearing about our experience. Zachary 4.3 ASD?
