Re: Apraxia and food allergies

[Guest guest]

Very interesting... My 2 1/2 year old daughter, who has Apraxia, auditory

disfunction, and SID, is also lactose intolerant! I'm really interested to

know if there may be some connection.

I don't know of any research however my son (who is apraxic) is lactose

intolerant as well as his sister (typically developing but diagnosed with an

immune dysfunction as an infant). In my opinion, food intolerance/allergies,

immune problems and developmental disabilities all go hand in hand.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the group. My 2 1/2 year old has been diagnosed with

apraxia. We've recently changed SLPs and he's doing much better and

talking more. I've also started him on a PRO Efa supplement regime.

I was wondering, does anyone know or have done any research on the

correlation between apraxic kids and food allergies, especially milk

allergy.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks....

Hi

I stumbled across this website and became interested in finding out

more....

I then joined the group...

I think I read every archived message.

I just finished reading,

Enzymes for Digestive Health and Nutritional Wealth, The Practical

Guide for Digestive Enzymes and Better Behavior, L. DeFelice

The following is from the books cover:

Joy: Good Health, Good Living!

Enzyme therapy is one of the fastest emerging successful alternatives

for digestive health. Reports of significant improvements in health,

immune function, pain reduction, even moods, mental clarity, food and

chemical tolerances, and gastrointestinal issues emerge daily. Drawing

on long standing scientific research and trials by a wide range of

families, DeFelice deals comprehensively with all the

information on enzymes enzymes that those new to enzymes need: how

enzymes work, why the many benefits, what to expect, practical tested

advice on selecting and introducing the right kind of enzymes, and how

this can be combined with other approaches, therapies, and lifestyles.

This unique book intertwines a great story and a wonderful adventure

along with practical explanations of how to incorporate the enzyme

alternative into everyday life. This is beautifully balanced with

giving extensive scientific research supporting this approach.The

variety of stories from different families gives many ideas and

examples of how others are using enzymes today.

Includes migraines, sensory problems, AD(H)D, yeast/bacteria

overgrowth, food intolerances/allergies, chronic fatigue, chemical

sensitivities, fibromyalgia, MS, autoimmune conditions, bowel

dysfunctions, digestive problems, leaky gut, general pain, etc.

Thanks for the enzyme book link. Very interesting.

There is no doubt that many of our kids, autistic or not, have digestive

issues.

Books I have found to be applicable on this subject not just for kids

w/autism but for anybody w/gross motor or sensory or apraxia or anything

neurological, are:

The Natural Medicine Guide to Autism by Marohn

The Promise of Homeopathy by Amy L. Lansky

And of course Children with Starving Brains by Jaquelyn McCandless

They all touch on the underlying reasons for the food

allergies/sensitivities we encounter and offer ways to remedy/mitigate them

along with a number of other symptoms.
