Hi Jenna,

Giving the probiotics can cause a " die-off " of the yeast, temporarily causing

behavior problems. Our little one was at her meanest as the yeast was leaving.

I am shocked by the full time school day for three year olds. I have said for

some time now that they won't stop until they get the baby from the hospital.

Way too early for my liking to be away from the parents' but much better to

innudate and brainwash them with what the government wants them to do, enough of

my rant.

We have a great UK board called

www.

I hope this works, if not let me know and I'll get you in touch with the

moderator to invite you to the group. They have all the information on how to

get help and which drs to use in the UK.

You can read the files of this group and the UK to familiarize yourself with

what has been helpful for a lot of our kids.

My advice is just to read and read and read some more and ask lots of questions.

A hearty welcome to you and Jack.

Good luck,

Hello, I'm Jenna and Have 2 lovely children Jack & Bea. Jack is my concern.

I'm from northern NJ and noticed early on, " differences " between Jack and

other children- Lack of eye contact & delayed speech at the beginning. As time

passed I could notice other things even as his speech and vocabulary improved,

Jack still had trouble really expressing himself. When playing with other

children, he would simply run around and 'bump' them. He thought it was great

fun, but other, especially smaller children didn't always appreciate this.

Jack's pre-school teacher was actually a great help. She apparently had a sister

involved in special ed/needs and they would share information and techniques.

Jack's Doctors' (whom I really do like) seem to dismiss my thoughts of mild

autism rather quickly. Mostly because he does show affection, he does have

empathy for others, and does share his excitement & will share in others'

excitement. As I've researched, I've found there are many children like Jack,

and that there are many differences in definitions.

OK, so now we have relocated to the UK for a few years (hubby got an

opportunity with his company, and we though hey - why not!) First thing that

caught me off guard, They start reception (kindergarten) the year the will turn

4 (yes, that means some, like my neighbors daughter will be in full-time school,

9-3:30, while she is still 3 years old!) So Jack is now in full time school, I

wasn't too scared, he always did enjoy pre-school, off he went. But I knew I

really had to get on the ball, and find out what was making Jack different.

I kept doing my research, and discovered the yeast problems, and everything it

can cause. Now wanting to help, but not go overboard, I started giving him some

pro-biotics. Nothing hardcore, just 1 chewable a day. I did eventually discover

the whole mercury-yeast-autism connection, but didn't think what I was doing

would really hurt anything. Wrong. Jack has really regressed. His melt-downs are

more frequent, he is 'checking-out' a lot more. Jack even seems to be a bit

violent. I know the long days at school were starting to tire him out, but I

don't think that explains everything I'm seeing happening to him.

Finally...my question. Would this bring you to the conclusion that mercury is

definitely involved here? I think I may have started to kill off the yeast, and

freed up more mercury. I have made a doctors appt, in hopes of getting a

referral to someone who can actually help dx him. I'm just hoping I can find a

doctor who is experienced with chelation.

If anybody has any thoughts or comments I would love to hear it, especially if

there is anybody here in the UK, what paths have you gone down?

Thanks for listening - Jenna

Hi Jenna,

I suggest you join...

Autism Treatment-subscribe

This is a European group, but most of them are located in the UK.

They will be able to point you to local resourses.

All the best,
