Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Why do Autistic kids have malabsorption problems? I do too. I had amino acid tests and all my levels are very low even though I make an effort to eat protein with every meal. In addition IgG tests showed I had antibodies to food in my bloodstream. Doctor said that meant undigested food particles getting into blood stream and antibodies attacking it. He said it will attack protein because it thinks it is another organism so he gave me a digestive aid, pancreatic enzymes, to take before any meal I eat protein in. However I don't know why I would have absorption problem. Apparently I must have inflamation in upper digestive area, small intestines. I belch a whole lot also but it is unrelated to meal time. I call it 'empty stomach belching'. Anyway, I'm wondering why I may have same problem as an autistic child? Maybe I don't though as I do not have trouble with wheat or milk products. I have trouble with egg mostly and other proteins. I had a very high antibody count to egg white as if egg whites were attacking me...eeek, sounds pretty scary. Quote

Generally because of metal toxicity, altho can be other things also. >>I belch a whole lot also but > it is unrelated to meal time. I call it 'empty stomach belching'. This can be associated with yeast overgrowth, another symptom of metal toxicity http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm Dana Quote
