Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Yes, he sleeps 11-12 hours of (usually) uninteruppted sleep. He is 3 and has had these circles, after looking at old pictures, since he was about 1 year old. They've progressively gotten darker. After a few months on the enzymes, he's started packing on some much needed weight and I thought that maybe that would even help but, no luck there either. I'm guessing low iron. Any other suggestions???? Thanks, Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Greetings! For the easy question hehe Is he getting enough sleep? They are growing like weeds at that age and that in itself is very taxing. > > Hello! > > My son has been on Houston's pep. since august and zyme and no- fenol > since october.

For my son, it was caused by eating foods or supplements he did not tolerate, even with enzymes, or he had a yeast problem. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Thanks evreyone for your suggestions concerning nick's dark circles. As far as I know, he doesn't have allergies. He is not on GFCF but, I am currently treating him for yeast so perhaps that will make a difference as Dana said for her son. Thanks again! One thing, does anybody know if not eating meat or veggies (low iron) could cause the circles?? Thanks very much, Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi Traycey, please post about your son's dark circles. My ASD twins have some issue with dark circles but my nonASD 4 year old has had really big dark circles no matter how much sleep or if she's taking claritin. And, I've noticed I have those and many of the women on one side of my family do. I think its quite interesting and would like to know what has helped your son thanks, Anne, mom of 35 month old twin girls with ASD > > Hello! > > My son has been on Houston's pep. since august and zyme and no- fenol > since october.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Does your child have any allergies? For my son when sleep is adequate and he is eating enough we look to see how his allergy symptoms are. He is highly controlled by his allergy meds but usually he will be stuffy in his nose but not so much that you notice it and he doesn't complain either. I usually add a little decongestant for a few days and they disappear. > > Hello! > > My son has been on Houston's pep. since august and zyme and no- fenol > since october.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 The dark circles could have numerous causes. If he is eating gluten, you could have him tested for celiac disease with a simple blood test. Do a search and read about it. It can lead to malabsorbtion which leads to nutritional deficiencies, most common being iron deficiency anemia. > > Hello! > > My son has been on Houston's pep. since august and zyme and no- fenol > since october.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 If I were to pick one, it would be allergies and intolerances (food, environmental).
