Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I am not sure about the tetra stuff but for my son giggling has always been a sign of yeast. Quote
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Excessive silly giggling for no reason is for many children associated with yeast overgrowth.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Either a) he's remembered something hilarious (and that's a better one) or might be yeast. My son giggles away sometimes - but actually all children are prone to fits of giggles so although it may be yeast, it might be just - giggling. > > The babysitter said my son was in his crib giggling for no apparent > reason and I cant remember the reason why they do this?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Yeast, was the only reason ours ever did this. And folate can increase yeast, for some.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Sometimes very smart children giggle for reasons ordinary people can not deduce. For example what happens when you start giggling with him? Does he get upset or giggle more? Re: [ ] GIGGLING for no apparent reason...what does this mean? In a message dated 4/22/2006 4:35:28 P.M.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 My son giggles a lot but he doesn't have yeast. Laughing or crying for no reason is a symptom of autism. You can always check for yeast to make sure though! > > The babysitter said my son was in his crib giggling for no apparent > reason and I cant remember the reason why they do this?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Unfortunately I wasnt there when it happened. He seems pretty calm today. I think I gave him too much Tetrahydrofolate and I am going to cut the dose in half...I suppose there could be worse things than being silly...which he has been quite a bit lately... > > Sometimes very smart children giggle for reasons ordinary people can not deduce.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I used to have laughing fits I couldn't control when I needed salt. My oldest son also had laughing attacks like this on a few occasions, which I treated with salt and fluids. Our genetic disorder causes the body to purge salt at high rates, so this might be kind of an unusual reason for it. However, I remember a girl in school when I was a child who needed salt one day to help her stop laughing. I don't know what her medical condition was. -- Michele in Limbo (formerly in California) talithamichele@... Visit Michele's World! http://www.califmichele.com " Peace cannot be kept by force.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Michele, this is very interesting! I will give this a try. My son craves salt sometimes. Hmmm...I wonder if this would work with some forms of stim aswell? Can you tell that I'm obsessed with stims? (-: Beti > > I used to have laughing fits I couldn't control when I needed salt.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Today we took a little road trip. We ran out of his caffeine-free blueberry tea sweetend with xylitol, so I had to open a small box of apple juice (well, he saw it in the bag and that was it). He loves that stuff, mainly because he's so deprived of it. Sure enough, right before his bedtime this evening, we had the silliest excessive giggling episode ... Therefore, I'm thinking, sugar=yeast=silly and excessive giggling. BUT, if I don't reinforce it, it gets better, and he eventually stops. If I join him, it gets worse.

For my son, this was caused by phenol intolerance [and eating high phenol foods] and yeast overgrowth http://www.danasview.net/phenol.htm http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm Is that new addition a form of folic acid? If so, try increasing your yeast protocol. Folic acid increased yeast for my kids. Dana Quote

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Tetrahydrafolate is supposed to make folinic acid be absorbed better. My son was on folinic acid for some time and still not absorbing it therefore not tolerating ANY B vitamins...I have to say he seems to be tolerating the ASD vitamin/mineral powder better but I have 2 weeks before I can add B-12 and see if it is REALLY helping... > > > > The babysitter said my son was in his crib giggling for no apparent > > reason and I cant remember the reason why they do this?

Then it might be contributing to yeast overgrowth. Try increasing your yeast protocol, see if that helps. Dana Quote
