Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 , I am a rookie, but I think it is a yeast issue. Hopefully Dana will answer, but that is my guess.

I'm not sure if it was the same thing, but my son used to rub his head on me when he had yeast. Also hang his head upside down and push the top of it into cushions, the floor, etc. Not violently but wanted the pressure. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hello, I have heard that Cranial Sacral therapy can relieve head-butting. He may be feeling pressure in his skull. Andy had recommended we take my son to a cranial sacral therapist when I told him that he bangs his head and likes to sleep with pressure on his skull. For one reason or another we never did, and it kind of went away by itself, but then many years later I actually did take him and the doctor said that there was awful pressure in the joints in his skull and he had been dealing with this his whole life. After one session, he said that the joints have released and his head was normal now.. it might be worth a try for your child also. You could also read the book by Upledger about Cranial Sacral Therapy. It is a tiny book, but very inspiring. Ashi > Will someone please remind me what is the general cause for head > butting?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 > Will someone please remind me what is the general cause for head > butting? It is some sort of vitamin/mineral deficiency? For my son, phenol intolerance and/or yeast overgrowth. Have you added anything recently? Or removed anything? Or made any other changes? http://www.danasview.net/phenol.htm http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Thanks for all the answers! I'll go and read about Phenol b/c I don't know much about that. Yeast I am familiar with. To help with digestion I recently started adding Enzymes and Probiotics to my son's juice 2/3 times a day. (My son only eats 3 or 4 foods and will only drink juice). I have been using a yeast eliminator called Candidaese but it is almost gone now. I have been trying to do the Biomedical thing on my own for about a year but I have not found any particular products that I love or that I stick with. I'm trying to change over to the recommended products in the hopes that treating my son will get easier. I just ordered new products from Kirkman.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 For a kid with ASD with whom I worked (he always wanted head rubs) it was subclinical seizures. But if I were you I would try CST first. The kid I'm refering to loved chiropractic, we couldn't get an ok to take him for CST :-( .

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 In the case of the kid I referred to, he was essentially nonverbal, but I think he thought we (staff) were somehow causing the discomfort he felt during the seizures and struck out at us (hair pulling, biting, head butting, etc) because he was mad at us. S S --- On Tue 08/02, lyle and diane vrana < lv2tch@... > wrote <tt> My son does a LOT of head butting when his yeast/bacteria flares up. It isn't a seizure or anything else---it is TEMPER!!! He gets VERY moody/emotional/angry easily, and head butting must let out some of that aggresion. He does it at " appropriate times " as in--during a tantrum, or if I say no to something he wants, etc. However, once I get the yeast under control, the head butting stops, and the tempers wind down to a " normal " amount for a 3-year-old! Now I know, as soon as I see a little edginess/moodiness, that IT'S COOOOMMMMIIINNNGGG . . . unless I up his yeast protocol and get that darned overgrowth under control! I know head butting can be caused for various reasons, but for us, this was it. He DOES feel pain, and he does it " on purpose " to let me know how mad he is!! Sounds like your child seemed to do it at times when his temper was up, too. Could be yeast? Bacteria?<BR> <BR> ~Diane<BR> Mom to Aaren, age 3, ASD<BR> <BR> **Faith is not believing that God can.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 It could be his way of stopping the itching. My son started rubbing his head against anything in an almost trance-like state and gets like that also when I rub his head for him. It stopped when I started applying an anti-itch cream (my ortho suggested sarna cream). I stopped it since his scalp broke down and I want to rule that out as a cause because it smell pretty strong. Anyone have experience with trying to help the itching that the helmet causes? > > Ever since my son got his helmet he head butts! it is making me crazy. Any > advice on how to stop him.
