3 year old ASD son, now 12 month old dd lost all words, so worried

[Guest guest]

Hello listmates,

I am the mother of a 3 year old ASD son and 12 month old daughter.

We are working with my son on cleaning up his gut before starting

chelation. His situation is stable. We are seeing gradual gains

with supplementation. This post is about my daughter...

She is non-vax, is still breastfed, and our whole family is strictly

GF/CF and more. At 10 months old she had 4 words (Mama, Papa, uh-oh,

and kitty). She pointed and shook her head for " no " . We were elated

to see these positive signs. Now they are gone. Her words and

gestures have faded away over the past 2 months. I am in a panic.

She does still babble a little and still waves good-bye. She also

has some sensory issues...she will put literally anything in her

mouth - in fact she seems to prefer dirt to food - and she has

unusually high pain tolerance. She is very hyperactive. I have to

swaddle her to help her fall asleep. Also, her growth has dropped

off from the 50th percentile to the 10th percentile during these last

two months.

Possible scenarios...

-my mouthful of old amalgam fillings could be affecting her through

breastmilk.

-She has zinc spots on her nails. My extended family definitely fits

the profile for pyrrole disorder. I figured this out last night. We

increased her CLO a month ago on advice of our DAN doc. Omega 3's

are bad for people with pyrrole disorder.

-She is in the midst of a candida flare up. We have had lots of

candida troubles in our family.

So, here is my question...

Has anyone done chelation with such a small child? She is only 18

lbs.

Can I afford to wait a couple of months while I increase her zinc,

B6, reduce her omega 3's...etc...to see if the possible pyrrole

disorder is a factor?

Sorry for the long post.

Best,

Leigh Anne
