Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hi, 1. Would anyone have any ideas about what could be causing dizzy spells in my 13 yr old PDD son? He has been having them since Feb - with some aggression, went off Metadate, couldn't function in school anymore (depressing to him as he was on the honor roll.) While being home tutored, EEG, MRI and blood tests were all normal. I had been limiting his carb intake somewhat, (making gf pasta, etc) and giving enzymes then but he is now totally GF 2 months as enterolab showed he has intolerance and celiac gene. As he is 13, it took getting him the test and the doctor telling him he cant eat wheat to get him to stop wheat. (I showed her the " Enzymes for Autism " book and where it said enzymes are not fully proven to help celiac) He is having less dizzy spells now, no agression, much less anxiety, but the dizzy spells are still a concern. He now also is on Wellbuterin (but no Metadate or other stimulants - we tried a few months off meds as dr was ruling out neurologial problems, but he needed something) B- Complex, MultiVit, HoustonEnzymes NF ZP and Peptizide, Acidopholius, EPA/DHA and MSM Q.- Could the dizzy spells be possible from yeast overgrowth or any other cause? He not only gets them when he is thinking hard - eg. schoolwork or biofeedback, but even having fun swimming in the pool. ----------- 2. Though enterolab tests showed my 3 year old is casien and gluten intolerant, his pediatrition wants him to have blood tests and see a GI. He has shown much improvement on enzymes and GF/CF diet, he is visibly much more happy. My reg Pediatrition I did not see that day and the PA was skeptical about the tests I bought, but I am printing out info on enterloab to show them its validity. Q - Does my son need to eat any milk or bread for IGA to show up in his blood? They want " Anti-gliadin ab, anti-endomyrial ab. TTG IGA and immune cap for food allergies " One reason I am worried is that blood tests for me last year were negative for gluten IGA while I was not eating it - my immune system had been very weak and avoiding wheat was the only thing helping my stomach and fatigue. The doctor told me to eat wheat, but when I tried I was sick to my stomach, and ended up getting a alternative doc and enterolab tests - which showed up positive after eating 1/2 of a roll....(I however was able to tolerate wheat talking ZymePrime and Peptizyde, but after 2 weeks some symptoms came back so I am GFCF with enzymes now) thanks for any answers I know this is long.... -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
