Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 We fight this same thing every so often (just now as it happens to be) and it is either yeast or intolerance of a supplement. We are trying to work more on the biofilm right now because regular yeast meds just don't do the trick, and he'll stop screaming when on the biofilm protocol. We've also had it in the past where it was due to vitamin a no longer working for him. Just thought I'd let you know that there is most likely a biological cause for it, and once you address that...the screaming will end...and more normal transition behavior will take it's place. > > Son is cycling through some screaming lately. The good news - he's able to say " why are you upset? " or " I'm just so upset " but not able to verbalize as to why he's upset. > > Are there any suggestions out there for replacement behaviors for screaming? These incidents are occuring 99% of the time at home, usually centered around transitions and having to stop preferred activities. We're working on developing better transitions but I was hoping someone had a GREAT suggestion for replacement for screaming. My ears are bleeding......

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks Jen - the thought about supplements crossed my mind too. I know he's absorbing nutrients better because of growth and weight gain so I was thinking something might be out of balance with the supps - ie he's now getting too much. Did you take a complete break from supps and restart them one by one or did you reduce the supps one by one to see which one might be causing the issue?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 My friend's son had ear-piercing screams daily. I sympathize with you and others with this issue. He screamed less and less as he got healthier. She focused on eliminating foods that triggered bad reactions in him, she went organic which helped a lot, and homeopathy helped a ton, along with Bach flower remedies for emotional issues. It also helped that as time went by he became more verbal and could express himself with words instead of screams. Stopping and restarting supplements can help. He is a sensitive boy, both emotionally and physically. My friend still has to be careful with his diet/supplements, but the good news is that all the hard work paid off - he is at grade level in regular education. A good homeopath & /or naturopath can be very helpful. I am always preaching this, but after 6 years and 1 severely affected son and 1 mild/moderately affected daughter, my priorities are organic diet, homeopathy (with the guidance of very good homeopaths), and some supplements that are needed for specifically for each of my children. Also, praying for guidance through all this!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I reduced them one by one. I remember thinking that it couldn't possibly be the vitamin A because it had helped for so long...but it was. We also had screaming with diflucan that our doctor thought was just die off, but never ended after 3 months, so I took him off it and it stopped Right now it's definitely yeast for us because when I give him a large dose of yeast herbs, it will stop about 20 minutes later. Suddenly he will do as requested without the scream first. Screaming is one behavior that a person can only take for so long > > > > Son is cycling through some screaming lately.
