what brand of selenium and how much? what other supplements? never

noticed selenium amking me thirsty in the slighest.

it sounds relatively serious.

is it chlorinated water that is the problem? its hard but i would

draw a line on decent water, like maybe salt chlorine pools would be

ok but just stright chlorine dosed pools wouldn't.

drinking large amounts of water is a very diabetic thing. i would

look at minerals to help the pancreas like chromium gtf. again you

proably need a hair test.

I saw a post one time ... perhaps on another board ... that Taurine given

before swimming in cholrinated water would help. Sorry, I do not remember

the details on why .... but I think it was related to the amount of pool

water that was ingested ?? Just thought I would throw that out there and

perhaps someone else might have ideas.

very hard for her to sleep and gets very hyper (or shall I say more

hyper) I have tried getting her wet before, rinsing her off right

away, epsom salt right after shower..nothing seems to help..This is

one thing she really enjoys and is making great strides at. Does

anyone have any other suggestions..

Excessive thirst may be sign she needs fatty acid in diet. Essential fatty

acids are either Omega-3 oils or Omega-6 oils. Sources of Omega-3 are cod

liver oil, fish oils, flax oil, flaxseed or leafy green vegetables. We had

same issue with my son a few years back-thirsty all the time We use the

Coromega from Kirkman's Lab because it comes in a small pouch and I squeeze

the contents in applesauce and it has a pleasant flavor. His excessive

thirst is gone-it also made a difference in his skin rash. 99% gone and has

stayed gone.

My son is also a swimmer-has swam since he was 2. Good luck.

Andy Cutler have suggested Taurine before ober on the A-M list. Does she

swallow the water? Sam does and it cause hell with his gut flora

Chlorinated pool water, especially if the child drinks it, can cause a

major yeast problem

Possibly, or for one of my kids, it would be added B vitamins. Try

reducing or removing the selenium and see if that helps.

Can you call around and see if any of the pools are saltwater pools?

Some areas have that instead of chlorine.

RE: excessive drinking... it's often an early sign of diabetes, so I

would have her checked out. Look for info online-- maybe there are

some guidelines as to how much water is considered " excessive " .

Dana explained it as the chlorine in the water is there is kill bacteria,

which it can do also in the kids when it gets swallowed. Wiping out the bacteria

leaves more room for the yeast and pow, your in overgrowth situation. Right

now we are keeping him out of the hottub and have stopped swimming regularly for

the winter. In the summer when we were swimmig for and hour or two 3 times a

week, I would give probiotics before bed. 1/2 Candex in the morning with other

stuff. It kept it sort of in check but couldn;t seem to get the balance back

between the yeast and bacteria.

Now I know better I would give him Candex at night and probiotics in the

morning after eating. We use CP1 from <A

essential also,

we don;t do SCD but all 3 HNI

Ideally one should drink 1 oz of water for every 2 pounds they weigh. For

example a 48 pound kid should be getting 24 oz of water every day. Excessive

thirst can be a sign of diabetes or of a chronic problem with cells not being

permeable enough to let sufficient amounts of water in to flush them out. We

had the later problem with 3 of us and we used some hydrate drops from our

holistic pharmacist, They worked fantastic.

Hi, I am new to the list. Mother to a 4 year old with ASD who has been

GFCFsoy free and corn free for 7 mos. and on a dairy free SCD for 3-1/2

weeks. Went from being almost non-verbal with only fleeting eye contact

to very good eye contact and speaking 5 word sentences.

Just wanted to say he had excessive thirst from the time he was about 18

months old (in conjunction with his regression). I mentioned it to every

doctor I took him too and they would always test for diabetes, and the

tests came out normal. I took him to a DAN nutritionist who told me high

phenolic foods cause excessive thirst in those low in PST. Sure enough

his test came back low PST. With removal of high phenolic foods he no

longer has excessive thirst. He also dropped his obsessive compulsive

behaviors. Chlorine is highly phenolic and causes the same reaction in

him. I have to avoid it in cleaning, and if we do go to a chlorinated

pool (which we don't do often because of his reaction), I have to use

epsom salt transdermal cream before and after and, even then, it can

provoke reactions. Sorry for the bad news--my son loves to swim too.

Hopefully you can find a fresh water pool near you.
