Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Kerri, I don't know about diet, but all four of my children are on the spectrum. My 15 yo has aspergers but the younger 3 have severe autism! I nursed the first three. Thought I may have had hg in my breast milk so I didn't nurse my 4th child. She still has autism. I fully vaccinated the first two. My second son was perfect until the MMR. We didn't vaccinate the last two but they still have autism! I believe candida, viral infections, & strep are Huge culprits!!! I'm not writing to scare you!!! Every time I got pregnant, I prayed that God would spare my baby from autism! Although they all have it, we have seen awesome healing in all of them!!! I truly would not trade one if them!!!! They are all blessings!!!! I pray God's blessings on your family. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yes we did test for heavy metals in the older three ( my third son was unvacc) they all had metals. The troubling thing is that my third son had hg!!! We tested my breast milk, and our well water. They were clear. We are certain he didn't even get the hep b vacc at the hospital. We can only assume he got hg from my body or from pollution. We live in a rural farm area...pesticides! Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I had 2 flu vaccines b4 pregnancies. I had a mouth full of amalgam fillings in college (1988). They each had started to fall out. B4 I got pregnant with my first son, 1995, my dentist started replacing them. I didn't have any amalgams left by the time I got pregnant with my third son (2003). Then I had my daughter in 2005, still no amalgams and no additional shots. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Advice on a Healthy Pregnancy if often the topic of a workshop at the national DAN! Conferences. You can watch for free here. www.autism.com/danwebcast Pamela From: mb12 valtrex [mailto:mb12 valtrex ] On Behalf Of Kerri LongSent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 12:48 PMTo: mb12 valtrex Subject: pregnancy Hi Everyone!I just found out I am pregnant and need a little advice. I have a 5 yr old with PDD and am wondering if I should go on the gf/cf diet. I believe my son to be vaccine damaged, so would going on the diet be necessary? Is there anyone out there that did not do the diet and had a neuro-typical child after having a child on the spectrum? I will definitely not be vaccinating and will nurse this child for a year. Two things I wish I did with my son. I'm just not sure how I feel about limiting foods in my diet. Feedback is greatly appreciated!Kerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Kerri, I have a 15 month old who is Nt so far. I didn't do the diet while I was pregnant but have been dairy free since he was about a month old. He slept better when I cut dairy. I have breastfed the entire time and am actually starting to ween now. He is gfcf as per our Dan recommendation and has received no vaccines. He is right on track developmentally and we are thrilled.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 My first one is on spectrum and second is neurotypical. She (second one) is 4.5 now. She is smart, emotional,and is a huge help in terms of socializing my 7 yo son. My son was regressed at the age of 3 and luckly I did not know anything about autism when I got pregnant with my daughter. So I did not do anything special. No diet, she had all of the vaccinations, I also had severe yeast infections during pregnancy. However, these did not seem to effect my daughter as it probably did my son. I was very depressed and eating so much junk (gained 60 pounds) when I was pregnant with my autistic one. I strongly believe  that these are the reasons.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Kerry - Congrats! I loved being pregnant. I had Jimmy and didn't worry about anything, and I should have. While I give myself kudo's for not vaccinating myself during pregnancy - there was a lot I wish I had done. With Maddie, I did better. (not great, but better) -- Maddie just had (notice I said 'had') severe allergies, but very typical. I nursed her until she was 17 months - had I understood tandem nursing, I probably would have gone until she was 2. Maddie's severe allergies seemed to have cleared up. There were some things I now see that I didn't see before that led me to doing it even better - with Sam. Sam is the golden child, un vaccinated, very very typical, sleeps thru the night, gains weight, happy and healthy so far. Since he is my third and last, I will probably nurse until he's 2 (or more). With Sam, I ate gf/cf throughout my pregnancy and nursing. (and organic!) Cheating only on 'dates' with my husband. (I might even try to eat low ox (or Med ox) too now, if I was pregnant again..) I ate a salad daily with lemon/olive oil/spices. Drank 6-8 waters with 1 tablspoon of unsweet cranberry juice (Knudson's) daily to ward off any urinary tract infections. I juiced with my kids. (Lots of healthy vitamins and minerals) a few times a week. (Now I would do it daily!) and I would have juiced more veggies instead of fruits. Took my B12 and CLO in addition to my prenatal vitamins (New Chapter Organic Prenatal Vitamins) --Took Probiotics Got out and exercised with the kids daily - the air and light exercise was great. Went to bed earlier. I had changed all the chemicals in my house to less offensive ones. Tried to keep my stress levels down (very difficult because it was in the middle of trying to recover Jimmy and working on Rob's multiple issues) Only went to the Dr's office if I had to (to keep away from germs) -- even with the kids. I took a very proactive route to keeping myself healthy. (and working on the kids too) It truly was a 'perfect' pregnancy for me. It was an easy delivery, and easy recovery (except the hospital food)...nursing for the first time ever has been wonderful. Jimmy and I made it 'barely' 4 months...it was hell. Maddie and I didn't do so well either until her 10th month when I went gf/cf. Sam and I - ah!- perfect from the beginning and still going strong. (and I am a producer! for the first time..) Congratulations! Thanks to this board and it's wonderful information, I found that I did have medical issues and I wasn't a crap mother because my first two were hell. :)laura > > Hi Everyone! > > I just found out I am pregnant and need a little advice.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 My son is not vaccinated and is autistic. It if my personal opinion that children become autistic from vaccines because they are already harboring pathogens and that vaccines hurt the immune system. I remember my pregnancy with my son and I can remember exactly which foods made me tired/vomit and that I probably should have avoided. Milk, whole grains, berries, nuts and chocolate, which I think avoiding those is called the NIDS diet. These foods are known to trigger the immune system and you want to keep yours calm. Also, watch out for " heartburn. " In retrospect, I did not have heartburn, I had low stomach acid. Furthermore, if you baby has the hiccups, it is probably yeast. Consider removing all sugar from your diet. Congratulations. Caryn > > Hi Everyone! > > I just found out I am pregnant and need a little advice.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Kerri,I had my 4th child almost 9 months ago. My children are a 21 y/o son (NT), 16 y/o daughter (NT) and a 5 y/o son with autism. My baby, a girl, is NT so far, and the differences between my NT kids and my Spectrum kiddo was noticeable from the beginning. Our DAN! advised me to take vitamin D in pretty high doses along with my omega 3's throughout my pregnancy. His position stemmed from the idea that we are a sunscreen society and that pregnant women are now advised to keep their fish intake to a minimum. I took 15-20,000 iu of Vit D per week. I would take a 5,000 iu sublingual every couple days to get to that amount. I took the omega 3's every other day, as they tended to make me nauseous. On another note: My ASD child was also the only one that was induced. I've never had an epidural with any of them, but I think the pitocin did something to him, so if you can avoid that, try to.Good luck to you, our little baby girl has been the best "therapy" we have ever done with our boy, they adore one another, and she accepts him completely, totally and unconditionally.
