How are his stools? Is he having regular movements? Does he clear his throat

alot(acid reflux) ie. night waking/vomiting. Bad breath(possilbe backup), is he

bloated/gassy? Most important, how are his stools and how frequent? Jennie<><

Hi,

My 3 year old (ASD - moderate to severe) is not eating

at all. He only wants to be bottled fed. Recently,

i've tried rice cereal in the bottle & looks like he's

unable to tolerate it (tantrum & tapping on the

stomach).. i suspect he has GI issues. May i know what

are the enzymes available in treating GI?. He also has

SID.

All this behaviours happens at night when he's awake

in between feeds

1. Night waking

2. Giggly

3. Ocassional crying

3. Bad breath

4. Vomit (a little)

5. Teeth Grinding (stimming)

I really don't know what i can feed him now. He's not

gaining weight properly because of this.

I'm also not sure how can determine whether he has

yeast issue or viral issue.

The only food he takes since he was born is milk. Only

for the last 3 months i removed Casein. His milk now

is from corn starch.

Thanks,

-gee

Re Teeth grinding is stimming behavior? Max does it in his sleep.

Hi

Stimming is generally done to serve a purpose - eg relieve stress - so it

would be unusual for a " stim " to occur during sleep.

In our house, teeth grinding was a sign of magnesium deficiency.

Supplementing with magnesium citrate solved the issue.

Good luck

This is a common sign that the child's body does not tolerate the

drink in the body. Is it milk? If so, try sprinkling a little HNI

AFP Peptizyde into the bottle with the milk, see if that helps.

This can be phenol intolerance and/or yeast overgrowth. Can be a few

other things also, but those are the most common

This was mineral imbalance for my kids. Most kids need added zinc, so

try that first. One of my kids needed zinc/copper and cal/mag.

It can also mean yeast in the sinuses.

For my son, corn was much worse than regular milk, and was not

addressed by enzymes.

What about Vance's Dari-Free [potato milk]? Or, just give him water

for a few days and see if he will start eating simple foods you offer him.

Yes, I agree with Dana, corn was much worse for my son than milk.

My son is very similar to yours, he is 2 1/2 and drinks about 8 bottles of

formula a day. I took him off infant formula and put him on Neocate (I think

you have to have a prescription in the US to get it.) It is an amino acid

formula (short-chain proteins) and it has been miraculous in my son. I never

thought he would be sensitive to corn but when we give it to him, he goes into

complete meltdown.

It sounds like your son may have reflux. Has he been diagnosed with reflux?

We now have my son eating two plates of food a day and he's doing much

better. He still wakes in the night hungry for a bottle but at least he can

now

drink water from a cup and eat solids. When he gets sickly, however, he does

not eat any solids at all so perhaps your son isn't feeling well in some way.

I really sympathise, it's very difficult having a child who will only take a

bottle.

Take care,
