Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 You need to get him to a GI doctor. This is not just part of having autism. Your son has a serious GI issue that needs to be addressed right away. Many of our autistic kids have legitimate GI disease. They must be diagnosed and treated just as a " typical " child would be.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 I would stop the rice milk and try removing grains from his diet. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet deals with diarrhea . You can give him sheep's yogurt (can purchase from website below) and Culturelle (can purchase from Kirkmans). If the diarrhea starts to clear up with the Culturelle....stop using it as soon as the stool is formed. It is rather strong. His system is probably out of balance because of the antibiotics. Continue using yogurt and another probitotics even after the diarrhea is gone. This in my opinion. I pray this helps. I would also make an appointment with a GI doctor (I did get much help there but maybe it will be different for you). If they want to do a GI scope make sure they give him a secretin infusion to check his pancreas. http://www.blacksheepcheese.com/ chan2shawn <chan2shawn@...> wrote: My son is 3 years old.
