Re: Agression question- Help!

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any good advice on how to deal with aggression?

My 14 yo son with PDD/NOS has been getting these bouts of severe aggression

where he just wants to fight with me. He's been getting pretty physical with

me lately and these spells come on out of the blue all of a sudden. It's

been happening just about every night now for the last month or so. He doesn't

do this at school or with anyone else, mainly just me, his mother. He can

be in the sweetest mood and be happy and then there's a sudden change and all

of a sudden he just starts provoking to fight. (Believe me, I've tried to

distract, just walk away, ignore...etc. Nothing works!!) I'm getting to the

end of my rope and have no idea what to do... If anyone has any suggestions,

I'd be truly grateful!!

He was on diflucan but stopped that about 2 weeks ago after we went through

the dosage and am waiting test results to see if he still has yeast. (He was

on that for about 6 weeks.)

He's also on Depakote since August to treat seizures which started last

December.

His supplements are: Magnesium, P5P, Taurine, Zinc, Calcium (just started

today), probiotic, Cod Liver Oil, Tryptophan at night.

I was planning on starting chelation in a few weeks, but I've heard they can

become more aggressive with that. Does anyone have any advice??? Thanks in

advance!!!

Hi Carla

I had aggression with my son who is now 14. It started a couple of years ago,

and we were at out wits end . We eventually put him on Zoloft. However I always

felt that the aggression was more prevalent when the yeast was acting up. If I

were you, I would aggressively treat him for yeast again, and you may have to

continue that for some time. Our experience is that once you stop with the anti

fungals the yeast can return very quickly in 1 or 2 weeks.

It would also help if you had someone else take him and hold him down when he

was having a tantrum or being aggressive. For some reason they attack us even

more ferociously. When my son was at his worst, I walked around with blue black

marks all over me.

Hope this helps.

He was GFCF and soy free from last November until late August. There was no

change when I put him on the diet or after I took him off. I was very

strict with his diet and brought him his lunch every day at school so the

school

couldn't undermine the diet.

One of his tests showed that meat protein could be causing or increasing the

seizures and at that point he was basically down to organic meats,

vegetables, potatoes. The doctor said to eliminate meats and that put him down

to

practically nothing to eat so I took him off the diet to see if I noticed any

difference. There was none at all.

My son is 15. I could have written almost the same post. What

helped us was B6. He takes 850mg a day in two doses, breakfast and

lunch. We worked up to that amount. It was made a big difference. He

weight about 100-110 lbs. Some kids do better with B6 than P5P.

I've found when my son isn't feeling well his aggression is worse.

We stopped chelating to get the GI issues under control.

Depends on why he is aggressive. Common causes are milk, soy, corn,

or phenol intolerance

http://www.danasview.net/phenol.htm

My #2 was very aggressive when I tried giving him EFAs without mito

cocktail and amino acids

http://www.danasview.net/mar05.htm

Yeast and/or bacteria overgrowth can also cause aggression.

This is a likely cause. Here are additional yeast ideas

http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm

> His supplements are: Magnesium, P5P, Taurine, Zinc, Calcium (just

Calcium can cause aggression, if he is calcium toxic.

Are any of the others new? The CLO would have caused aggression for

my son.

Be sure you have a good yeast protocol in place.

Yes

> Can you tell me how you know if your child has viral or bacteria

issues?

I knew my kids were viral, because one winter I gave OLE to prevent

colds/flu, and when I removed it there was a major regression. I did

not even see the improvement, only the nasty regression when I removed it.

For bacteria, I usually know this because of mean/nasty behavior, but

sometimes liquid bms.

I have never had my kids tested.
