Guest guest Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 My 10 year old son has a history of gut issues (chronic constipation, withholding, yeast, bacteria, including strep) and possible co-infections such as Lyme. We have been to many doctors over the years -- mainstream and DAN -- as well as several GIs (including Dr. Krigsman). My son has been on a variety of supplements, antifungals, antibiotics, even steroids. He has been GFCF for years. We have not seen much positive progress. My son is a good student but what keeps him in a self-contained class at school (in my opinion) is that he is stimmy and is echolalia (repeating dialogue from DVDs). I think the inability to eradicate the pathogens in his gut causes the stimming, etc. In the past week, my son has had daily bouts of inconsolable crying -- complete meltdowns -- that include crying, yelling, jumping, throwing himself down, and hitting himself. He cries as though he is in the most severe agony and it lasts for hours. He also has become extremely OCD. Someone told me it sounded like parasites and the fact that there was a full moon. someone else said PANDAS. I am looking for advice on what to do. We have never tried homeopathy or anything too alternative but I feel like all the DAN protocols are not working. My son needs help and I feel like I am failing him.
