Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hi Everyone! I've been reading and reading and reading, and I've given myself a headache! ( My son started raging and biting himself rather frequently, compared to a week or so ago. He's waking several times a night, for the last several nights. He's taking 2 of each enzyme per meal, and a cal/mag/zinc blend. So after all my reading, I decided that perhaps chelating (Key-lay-ting, right?) would be the thing to do, but then maybe this is a yeast thing? During our Christmas trip (12/22 - 12/27), he was eating bread & dinner rolls like they were going out of style... and we went swimming! I thought I read that some folk's kids developed problems from swimming in chlorinated pools... But then it could be bacteria, aren't the signs similar to yeast, or phenols? In my reading, I see that we should take care of yeast & bacteria BEFORE we chelate, and then do they take Culturelle ALL the time for the rest of their lives? And chelating goes on for YEARS?!? How do you know when to stop? Suddenly, I remembered (HOW could I have FORGOTTEN?!!), my son has metal plates & bolts in both of his hips fron a corrective surgery. They are going to be taken out, but I probably shouldn't try chelating, when he has all this metal in his legs, huh? So, I guess I can work on yeast & bacteria 'til after the surgery to take the pins & plates out, so then I start reading about yeast & bacteria, I'm still not clear on what to use, how often, when to stop...why do you take selenium & zinc picolinate, Isn't that for loosing weight? I feel hopelessly confused and overwhelmed, and oh yeah, my Son has an IBP (intrathecal baclofen pump) with which he receives a continuous dose of baclofen ( a muscle relaxant)! Now that puppy ain't gonna go away anytime soon, so am I right in thinking chelating is going to be worthless with this metal pump in his body? But he still has this behavior thing, which I think is yeast, so I could really use some help to figure out what to give him. I'd love to hear ANYbody's thoughts. Or, do you think its bacteria? should I try dealing with that first?? THANKS all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
