Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Have you tried probiotics? [ ] Chlorine Reaction I have read all the posts about chlorine. Recently my son showed that he reacts extremely negatively (stimmy, disconnected, tummy aches, neon green poop)to a heavily chlorinated pool. I know what to do to help combat it, but given his reaction, I am not sure it will work. We don't have a lot of money for testing, so I go on intuition, medical history and tracking behavior to figure out what to do for him. He is doing very well, but I feel like I have been handed a major clue with this chlorine thing: What does this tell me about my son? Any ideas? He is 5, PDDNOS, Round 4 of ALA chelation. I was not chelating during the chlorine episode. its a tough question, but if anyone has an idea, I'd be grateful. I am assuming very poor sulfation or yeast, Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Probiotics and low sugar are my basic yeast protocol. After reading last night, I am pretty sure it is a sulfation issue. He has low tolerance for phenols and that seems to be related...Iknow phenol intolerance and yeast look similar, and I have been assuming yeast even though his stools do not appear yeasty. I am now researching all I can about increasing sulfation. He gets epsom salts baths and I don't see a big difference, but I think I haven't been putting enough in there. I have a spray bottle and I spray him down with it too. (This does not please him in the least!)

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite is used in swimming pools for it's oxidizing properties. So I was thinking along the lines of the sodium hypochlorite directly knocking out gut flora. [ ] Chlorine Reaction > > > I have read all the posts about chlorine.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 The level of free CL2 and residual CL2 in swimming pools can be much higher than in the water supply residual. If you have a colorimetric test kit for the pool run some kitchen tap water for a minute or two, then grab a sample and test it. Compare that to CL2 in the pool.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Epsom Salts baths after swimming helps. It's a good natural detoxifier. Also epsom salts dilluted with water in a spray bottle is an idea I got from another list. Each time the child gets out of the water for a rest, spritz him or her down. Another idea (I got this from our DAN!) is to apply magnesium cream between the shoulder blades before going into a chlorinated pool. He also told us it's a good idea to apply before a shower. We also apply a little bit to calm him down when he is unusually hyper, or if we are taking him somewhere when we need him to focus better. It does help some. -Trish > > I have read all the posts about chlorine.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I put the words 'swimming' into search and didn't come up with this. Apparently topic is now being discussed!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 You may also want to try Chlorinum (the homeopathic for people who react to chlorine). I'm taking some with us on vacation. We have a salt water pool, but when we go away, we'll be exposed to chlorine.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I don't know if it's even possible, but I suppose it is and perhaps even more than bugs.

For an older child, 500mg. This is *my* recommendation, not a doctor. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
