Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi Haleh, I haven't been around him, but from what Vaughn has said, he's whiny, and sleeping even more horribly than normal. I'll get off of the computer now. Me and Lucy might be out for a bit, but won't be long, and I'll stay off of the computer. I'll talk to you soon. Amber.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I am so sorry. Incredibly sorry. Suffice to say, been there, done that. What it finally took, for me to get people on board and see how serious I was, was for me to not allow them near ph. My in-laws went almost a year without seeing my son, my husband (called to active duty for a year due to 9/11) didn't see him, we didn't see friends, didn't go to holiday gatherings, didn't go to school, didn't go much of anywhere. So much healing took place in that year, that relatives, friends, spouse, all jump through hoops to see that ph does not get any kind of infraction now. My in-laws, they are the bane of my existence. I pretty much don't let them see my son, unless I'm present. I became Super Bitch, sorry for the language guys. But, when you've got a kid, on the toilet, with the runs and puking his little 3 yr. old guts out, because his grandmother gave him cookies he shouldn't have had, and acts like it's no big deal. Well, it is a big deal. I've been called neurotic, obsessive, over-protective, and many things I'm sure I'm not even aware of. To say we are frustrated is an understatement. We are heartsick, torn, tired, and have enough balls in the air without someone adding another. Go in the garage and yell, grab a bat or golf club and wrap it around your least favorite bush in the backyard. Get all your anger out before your munchkin gets home, because you do not want him to feel your anger. He ate it because he was told he could. If your husband continues to be so unobservant, I would find a therapist, who will allow you to vent, without medicating you. You've got to get it out, constructively, so you can keep going. That year, alone, with my son, was the hardest and best year of my life. I went to church twice a day sometimes, just sat in the back pews and sometimes I cried. I put Jojo in the baby jogger and went running, bought him all the things I thought he needed, trampoline, games, books for me to read. Just about went broke. Didn't care. I was doing what I needed to do. There is another side to this. You will get there. But that is the crux of the matter, You, you will get there, and you'll bring your kid with you. Your husband, other kids, other family members, friends, they'll either go along for the ride or they'll meet you on the other side. If you are lucky, if you are blessed, your spouse, parent, or friend will carry you through a particularly rough moment. There is a plaque perched on my kitchen shelf by my sink, it says " Courage is not always a lion's roar, sometimes it is the heart at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow " . If no one else has told you today, I'll tell you, I think you are Terrific. You keep going, the reward is beyond compare. Dana, and anyone with diet advice, please. I am so upset- there are many reasons, but not to bore you, I'll try and sum them up as quick as I can. First off, what I need is a fellow mom who understands the importance of the diet that I try so hard to get to follow. I am so tired of no-nothing people thinking that if he eats something that he shouldn't, it's no big deal. That's like saying that all the hard work and energy that I put into his food every second of my day- all my efforts is no big deal, that it means nothing. Another thing that I am so tired of, my husband is guilty of this as well, is everyone looking at what is eating, and because it's not loaded with sugar, they all say, " Poor baby, having to eat such horrible food, and not getting anything good that he likes. " I spend hours and hours thinking up good treats for him that he likes, by the way. Instead of people looking at what he's eating, and seeing how creative it is, and seeing how much he is liking eating it, they look at what it isn't. My problem (finally) my husband took my boys to my parents cabin last Thursday night, and they'll get home tomorrow night. I spent 3 days cooking and baking and portioning out supplements, so that would have all of his food ready. My husband and boys went straight to my moms house on Thursday night, and stayed the night, and went to their lake the next night. He told my mom to leave all of his food in the coolers, but of course, she took it out and put it in her freezer. The next day, instead of packing the muffins that I made for , she grabbed the wrong ones and sent ones that she had in her freezer (I found out that they were muffins from Tim Horton's) So, for the last 5 days, 's been eating Tim Horton's muffins!!! At least one a day!! That's gluten, and sugar (that he's not aloud) and who knows what else. I am so upset. How long will it take all that crap to get out of his system? The problem is, it wasn't just one slip- he's been eating them all week. Thanks for letting me vent. It's so frustrating, and I need to talk to people who will understand me. Thanks, Amber.

Giving Pepcid AC usually helps with the symptoms. If his diet has been " clean " for a while, it usually does not take more than a few days for most people to clear out the offending food. Has his changed behavior done anything to convince your husband or mother that your son really does require this diet? Sometimes, being with the child for extended periods of time after a food issue like this, is just what is required for some people to learn that.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Thank you. The problem is that people are so ignorant about how badly these kids are affected by certain foods. I can't even take a trip anywhere without somebody trying to stuff candy in my kids' mouths. When I tell people " no thank you " , they argue with me, or they play all sorts of head games like looking at me like I'm insane or being really rude and condescending to me, etc. I'm used to this kind of stuff because I've been keeping myself to various diets for years. I think you ought to call up your mom and chew her out thoroughly for giving food that wasn't on his diet. And be sure and explain in great detail what's going to happen to him because he ate gluten and sugar, and why you think that this special diet is going to help him get over his autism. It will probably take a month for him to recover! My kids are doing better now, but I know that just one month ago, if they ate any sugar, they'd be hyper, weepy, tantrum-y and aggressive for a week. And that's just after one serving of sugar. -- > > I am so upset- there are many reasons, but not to bore you, I'll try > and sum them up as quick as I can. > First off, what I need is a fellow mom who understands the importance > of the diet that I try so hard to get to follow. > I am so tired of no-nothing people thinking that if he eats something > that he shouldn't, it's no big deal.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I have been dealing with this too (people not taking our food needs seriously, thinking I am making it all up--as if a mother would choose to make her life so complicated! For fun? To make life more interesting?) My son is not on the " autistic spectrum " except that I think the " spectrum " should begin somewhere much earlier and is more like a toxicity spectrum, where ASD is the point at which the symptoms are indisputable, but where we stand everyone is free to say nothing we're observing is real, has any basis in reality, is something to treat, etc. Were it not for all the research and trial and error going on with parents of children with ASD, he would have had to suffer much more. But I really began to question my own sanity at one point, even though my husband and I both observed subtle behaviors we couldn't understand--eye rolling, coinciding with regression in his language skills (why did they come and go?), walking on tiptoes or refusing to walk (now he can tell us his knees hurt). Obvious food intolerances that doctors would not acknowledge. Somehow the symptoms were not legitimate or connnected to anything real? Eczema, hives, bright red cheeks, asthma, etc. And then when I tell friends and family that it all came together when I started researching autism, they think I'm really a screwball because they can't understand or don't want to believe that there is an overlap. And because we are neither here nor there, I REALLY feel that I have no one to connect with. No one to discuss this with in a sane and rational way. And then, I watch other friends suffering with their children's mysterious health problems (that their doctors will not legitimize) and I try to offer help/insight but they are afraid to accept the help because they would rather believe there is nothing really wrong, as they are being told. I could go on . . . > > I am so sorry. Incredibly sorry. Suffice to say, been there, done that.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I'm glad you found this group. As hard as it is, if people want to believe the earth is flat, that is their choice. It is nice though to correspond with others that know the earth is round. My daughter is having issues, poor child can't tolerate sugar at all. She has also turned mean. It's not a character issue, she is only 17 mo. It is a physical well being issue. That DTaP vaccine really messed her up. I think she was borderline and the vaccine just sort of pushed her closer to the edge. But, you wouldn't believe all the people, including my mother, who insist that this is just the terrible two's early. Which, they don't remember, is exactly what they said about ph. She's not lost language, or eye contact, no meltdowns yet or stimming. But, I see the sleep pattern disruptions and the bowel issues, and I wait. I give the supplements, watch her diet, I'm about to buy the Body Ecology book by Donna Gates. But I'm heartsick. I did this, I knew what the odds were before I got pregnant, and I did this anyway. I Thank God for enzymes and probiotics, and the knowledge I have already. I'm sorry you don't have the legitimacy an official diagnosis would give your observations. I wonder, how many years away are we from " real " answers. I'm going back to school this fall to start digging on my own. I graduated from UC in 97 as an English major. I will return to school this fall, and my intentions are to get into their Food Science program, specifically micro-biology and biochemistry. I'm just sick and tired of waiting. My research has taken me to a point that without the background education, I can't make full sense or use of what I'm reading. It's all too technical now. The studies, the labs, the new theories, and then there is the explosion of information with Genomics. But what do they do with all this info? It's all coming so fast, who does the interpretation, and what about the real life applications? You give me a few years and I'll get back to you with a real and scientific explanation for your child's eczema. No more creams or lotions, no more experimenting with diets. Real answers, " avoid this .... and do this.... " and the eczema will clear up. Backed up by labs that will verify what you see. I have to trust in God that it will be in time to help my babies.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 : Sorry you are still struggling a little. Please don't beat yourself up. You didn't have much of a choice when it came to that shot. I'm assuming you are taking her GFCF(SF) for a little while. If you want us to brainstorm other supplements with you I know that I, for one, would be happy to try and help. Have you considered a homeopathic nosode for DTaP? Take care, Josie Re: Dana, and anyone with diet advice, please. I'm glad you found this group.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Thank You. Actually, I was considering using the Ojibwa Tea, but I'm not sure if she's too young or not. I'll have to call .

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Ojibwa tea is an essiac blend of herbs. There are many essiac blends on the market, but in terms of finding a " clean product " , i.e. no pesticides, etc. the Ojibwa tea brand is the best in my opinion. I used it for my son, it was the first thing we did, after the diet. It was literally a God send. We ended up on heavier hitting antivirals and whatnot after we found out what my son's specific viral issues were, so we stopped giving him the Ojibwa tea. But now I'm considering it for my daughter. She did her first stims tonight. She ran in circles on the carpet. I'll be on the computer late tonight. Her next shot is June 22, and I've got to get a grip on this thing.
