Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 -I`m just learning about the mercury issues...but I do know about stress management. Try to find even ten minutes a day to meditate...put on some headphones and stop the world...in a week or two you will see some results... For short term help, try Relora or Rhodolia but both these, while being " natural " are still a crutch..use them sparingly and work on the meditation so you can wean yourself off them...good luck Ps...for sleep, the best bet is Melatonin...also over the counter..and it is not addictive like the allopathic garbage..

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Has he been tested for celiac disease, leaky gut? Have you tried GF/CF, SCD, or Feingold diets? Sound like he may have a yeast issue also. Melatonin and magnesium can both aid in sleep. is starting to stem alot again and he is starting to do that screeming thing when something he is working on doesn't go just right. He is beginning to bite, hit, and throw things. His temper tantrums are coming back as well. Also, refuses to eat vegitables and the only meat I can get him to eat is popcorn chicken, or the strips, I need help getting him on a good solid diet. He loves his starches (except potatoe's)I try to make him a well ballanced meal and all but the bread goes to waist. I am not sleeping well these days, and have been very tired all day long where can I get some energy to keep up with my house hold duties, motherly duties, and wife duties?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 , You have a lot going on. I know I also have a son with autism. Please check out the specific carbohydate diet for your son. Eating starches for some kids on the spectrum causes problems. We have found food really effects our son's behavior. Check out the following web sites. www.pecanbread.com, www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info to start out. Read the book Breaking the Vicious cycle by Elaine Gottschall. There are alot of great recipes and ways to get good food into your child. Theresa PS You need someone to come over to your house to help. The stress of autism is too much for one person.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Is there any restritions on pasta for ? Call me crazy but I tried Gerber Graduates with Ellen when they first came out, and it has meat and vegetables in them, and they are kind of fun too. I have been at the sheer exhaustion levels also ( I have an 8 year old on the weekends, my 5 year old daughter and a one year old son) and have searched for the food and vitamin to give me the energy to not only keep up all day, but have the hours with my husband at night (mind you, 5 year old has truoble sleeping and typical night is between 9: and 11:00), and still start all over again at 6:30 a.m. THE ONLY SAVING GRACE IS POSSITIVITY!!! I know it's hard- I've had bad days and the best days ever. I've lost 2 jobs due to attendance issues with daugter and have been coasting along most of 5 years. The wisest thing ever said to me was " FEED THE POSSITIVE " .

HELP ANYONE, PLEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!>> Your son sounds like he NEEDS to be gfcf. My son wouldn't eat anything but starches and cheese when he was 4 and I thought for sure he would starve to death when Dr. El Dahr in New Orleans told us to put him on the gfcf diet about 3 1/2 years ago. But my son did not starve. Instead he lost 90% of his autistic behavior and you would be hard pressed to tell he has autism today. He is now a terrific eater, eating a well balanced and healthy diet. He is a different child. As much as I hated the thought of going gfcf, I now praise God for this diet.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 We have tried the glutin/casinfree diet but didn't have any luck in that either......s Dr. ran a lead test on him for lead posioning but it came back negative....She won't do the Hair analisis test and she says that she doesn't know of anyone who will. Kinda caught between a rock and a hard palce. He doesn't have loose BM's and most of the time he is constapated....we use flax seed for that. Took him to see an alergist last spring and they said he was alergic to mold. uses melitonin and a perscribed drug to sleep at night......Thank you for your responses.

Please read here for info on testing: http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/HOW_TO_hair_test.html The test costs $89 (which is $10 more than the file says). > Also, refuses to eat vegitables and the only meat I can get him > to eat is popcorn chicken, or the strips, I need help getting him on > a good solid diet.

I think someone else suggested melatonin for sleep-- I would also suggest that. There is also a time-release melatonin. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs might help a bit with energy. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
