Hi ; My name is Eileen and I too am new to this. My son is 20 and I

am not ready to give up on him either. We too have tried every therapy

except the GFCF diet. Some little progress with most, but he's still

Autistic-My 22 year old daughter just asked what I wanted to get out of all

this with the enzymes-First time she really took an interest. I told her I

wanted off medications Risperdal and Trileptal and to help reduce his

hearing sensitivity (needs to where head phones all the time), anything else

is gravy. I told her I would love for him to progress to where he could

take care of himself-Not a rocket scientist-Just take care of himself

because right now he is nowhere near ready. So we are all in this together.

I started last week with PEP and ZP. No real results yet, no real

problems either. Started No Fenol yesterday-needed to reduce the

dose-caused diahrea and kept him from falling asleep. Im waiting for Candex

and Culturelle. My son has been on risperdal since he was 12 due to

aggression. He would just have melt downs out of the blue. I had him tested

for seizures as the rages were soooo bad. He has very few now, but I can

see them coming on and just try to keep calm. Funny they only happen to me.

Not to my husband or daughter, or any other family member for that matter.

Oh well-I have been asking alot of questions and everyone has been pitching

in to help. These are wonderful people. I hope that I get as good at this

as they are so I can pass the help on. Regards, Eileen

Chelation, anti-viral, and several supplements helped my non-verbal

child become verbal.

Phenol intolerance and/or yeast issues can cause aggression

Here is my Miralax info

Enzymes and magnesium eliminated my famiy's constipation. You can

also consider vitamin C or some of the other ideas from my

constipation page above.

Good for you!

Try adding the No-Fenol, that might help address any phenol issues he

has, plus it can also help with yeast.

Good luck.
