Hi

I tried one herbal decotion made ad home for my son and it i really worked

well. He reduced weight in a month and cravings for food came down. I am not

sure whether u will get those herbs in your place. I stay in india. It is made

with dry ginger, curry leafs etc., Let me know if you are interested.

when she is full/hungry (it seems she thinks feeling " not full " is

the same as being hungry), is very picky but overeats, always wants

junkfood, etc. I'm just so frustrated because dh & I are fairly

healthy eaters (rarely eat refined sugar, eat fruits, veges, home

cooked meals, etc.) Dd will overeat if given the opportunity & then

spends the night throwing up (as happened today at her aunt's house,

all's it takes is too much junk food & her system overloads).

Despite my continuous hearty encouragement for her to make " healthy

choices " she has continued to gain weight. I'm tired of the struggle

with no results.

Talk here of yeast issues, etc. have made me wonder what could be

underlying my dd's food problem/weight gain. Can anyone point me

towards some help? I imagine this could be partly related to food

intollerances? We had testing done a year or so ago at the

naturopath & had a lot of foods come up. We eliminated them & when

reintroduced one at a time I still couldn't tell if she was reacting

to any of them. Maybe enzymes could help her? I did get her to try

& eat a ZP tonight (she didn't like the AFP) since I'm trying them on

ds too. Anyways, must go to bed now (12:25am PST)- thanks for

listening.

Blessings,

For my son, " always hungry " meant he was eating something he did not

tolerate, or he had a yeast overgrowth issue

Yes, enzymes can help.

Thank you for the thought- I appreciate " leaving no stone unturned " .

From what I've seen on the web, she wouldn't fit the profile. The arc

website listed some of these symptoms:

short stature, mental retardation or learning disabilities

My dd is the tallest girl (only two other boys are taller) in her

class, and her teacher has recommended she be tested for the gifted

program.

But thank you anyways-

my son has always been obsessed with food. i read in the " out of sync

child " book it is sensory. my son does has major sensory issues

(hypo-sensitive).

what i do is if he eats a good meal (at one setting as he is a grasser), i

will not let him eat anything else for at least 1 1/2 hrs. i expl to him he

simply cannot eat again after just eating. even after explaining everything

to him, he still wants to eat. cant help himself.

I spent almost 10 years with insatiable hunger. My life revolved around

eating or thinking about eating. It was time consuming and expensive. I

probably averaged over 5,000 calories per day, with somedays exceeding

10,000 calories. I only weighed 135lbs at 6ft tall. My blood sugar was never

higher than 50 and it wasn't uncommon to be below 20. My issue ended up

being a blockage in my spleen meridian and was fixed by one quick

stimulation to an acupuncture point on my ankle. After that treatment, my

weight shot up to 185lbs within 2 months. Then I figured out I no longer had

insatiable hunger and my blood sugar was in the " normal " range (80-100). Now

I eat regular amounts of food and enjoy feeling full/satisfied, and my

weight has settled down to about 170-175lbs.

When my son always wanted to eat, it meant he was eating a food or

supplement he did not tolerate, or he had a yeast overgrowth issue.
