Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 I thought my son's eyes were black but after putting him on the diet I realized that his eyes are really brown. He is now 11, been on the diet since January but was placed with us for adoption at 20 months. My son is GFCFSFcorn_free, low phenols & sugar, no dyes or preservatives. fleenorap wrote: > A friend of mine has an Autistic/PDD son.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 This is called mydriasis, it is due to a lot of possible things but in certain mental illnesses that are due to brain chemical imbalances people's pupils dilate and then they go berserk. Many of these kids have relatively dilated pupils. The toxic ick that bothers him (from food, dysbiosis, etc.) apparently bothers his pupils as well as his brain.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 I know that Dr. Megson talks about rod dysfunction in the eyes and that is one reason she recommends CLO; however, I do not know if rod dysfunction would cause dilated pupils.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 The same thing happens when people use drugs, such as cocaine. Pupils get huge. Is he on the GFCF diet? My DS is GFCF and his pupils get bigger if he eats offending foods.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 My son is almost three years old and we have noticed lately that his pupils are dilated. I've read somewhere that this is a sign of mercury poisoning. Anyone have any experience with this? Thank you. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 My oldest daughter 8, has dilated pupils while in the house (which is quite sunny) but they contract quickly when we go outside. We had a very in-depth eye exam and everything was fine. She had 7 thimerosal vaccines but looks like she'll be OK (unlike my youngest daughter). Survived seizures, chronic sinusitus and inablity to walk until three. > My son is almost three years old and we have noticed lately that his > pupils are dilated.
