RE: OT: Need Help with Teenager's Anger

[Guest guest]

I have a 14 yr old son with PDD-NOS who was put on Seroquel over a year ago

to help him calm his anger

Hi

I can't help you re Seroquel, but just to put it out there . . . it was

suggested on this forum that anger / aggression can be a sign of bad

bacteria overgrowth -and my son (a fair bit younger than yours) had episodes

of that, so I insisted that faecal test be done to check it out. My doc

(who is actually a good guy) really had his eyebrows raised over this, but,

sure enough, the result came back that my son was really low on a couple of

the good gut bacteria but really high on a couple of the nasties. He had a

course of penicillin originally and all was well, but after a month or so,

the anger recurred - we worked it out over time that he needs 4 days of

penicillin every 28 days to cull the bad bacteria . . . and no more anger /

aggression.

Worth checking out just to be sure.

Good luck

:-)

,

My son's temper flares were all entirely either food related or yeast

related. He was on a number of medications to control temper ..

Today he is 15 and off all meds to control temperament.

We started treating him biomedically again last year .. He was

tested for allergies and intollerances to food. Once we eliminated

all of those foods from his diet (more that 60 yikes!) and once we

got his yeast issues under control ... his outburst went away

entirely.

We have a much healthier, happier and focused child now. He was on

paxil and tenex before ... Now he takes only 5HTP ... and a slew of

other supplements for various deficiences he had ... but at least

they are not blood pressure medications and pshycotrophic ones!

I also have a teen son(for years we was told he was adhd). We never

felt the need to medicate and at this point he is not considered

adhd! We feel he viraly healed over time! Anyways around the age of

13/14 he started to have the boy hormone changes and his moods

really became up and down etc. At 15yrs, moody, hot headed, just not

the kid I remember at 12 etc. I dont know if you even allow soda's

etc. We dont keep soda's, energy drinks in the house but he does get

them alot when hanging with the friends!! I can always tell when he

has been drinking them, he is so moody(brings them home or Ill ask

when he is moody what he had to drink and it is always the same

answer). Anyways, when he is more than he should be in

attitude/moods etc. I start giving him magnesium(calming mineral)

and aloe vera juice(natural anti inflamatory and clears his acne up

also). He willing takes these due to he is athlete and wants to be

in top condition(but does love those soda's). I know most of my sons

behaiviour, weither good or not so good is due to his health and of

coarse the hormones boys go through at this age! Jennie<><

SNT and vitamin C can both contribute to a yeast overgrowth problem,

which can cause the issues you mention. Try increasing his yeast

protocol, see if that helps

High B6 usually needs magnesium, so try giving him magnesium.

Your concerns closely match mine, we have a 19 year old daughter still on a low

dose of seroquel (25 mg) from 500 mg a couple years ago. She has been diagnosed

PDD Otherwise Non Specified and has a lot of anger issues and self harms. Sorry

don't have any answers for you yet, in the same boat as you. She's on multi

vitamins, just started her on

progestorone cream to try and address any hormone issues. Will report any

changes, good or bad if we can keep this thread going.

I agree with Dana. My dd (almost 20) was a volatile, angry young lady for about

6 years. I started her on yeast treatment a few months back and she is a

different person these days. If she skips it for a few days, she gets sad, then

weepy, then hateful. Not only that, for the first time in about 5 years, she's

interested in life goals. She's taking art classes, working on starting her own

business and taking responsibility for herself. She has a ways to go, and needs

to be chelated once she's cleaner, but she has improved a great deal with

everyday yeast maintenance.

Is Lacto a milk diet or some kind of supplement?
