Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 HI, I am new to this group. I have a 30 month old boy who has not been diagnosed as Autistic. They have told me he has SPD and Apraxia. Apparently he shows too much joint attention to get the diagnosis. One thing that he very much has in common with other kiddies on the spectrum is the digestion issues. We know he has problems with yeast and colostridia. He is either constipated or has blow outs. We are seeing a new Doc. He is a DAN Doc who was also a family Doc in his native Germany for 23 years. He is helping us out a lot. One thing we are trying, and I did not find out about this from him, is a product called Nutriveda. I was on a group for Apraxic kids and one of the ladies tried this on her son and saw huge surges in his development. One by one all the mommies started trying it. It became hard to deny that there wasn't something to it. These Apraxia kiddies tend to also have gut issues. Their parents were reporting changes in gut issues, more eye contact, and more speech. I too noticed big differences in my son. I did go off of it to start the SCD diet. I wish that I never stopped it. My son regressed terribly on the diet. I know this is to be expected but things were not improving. We gave it 2 months. I finally stopped the diet. I gave it all a break with the exception of the homeopathic drops from our DAN. So, now I have started again with Nutriveda and am seeing amazing improvement. Way more talking and eye contact. More communicative in general. I am posting this as I feel it can really help. If anyone out there wants more info go to the Apraxia (late talkers) group. I finally left the group as it became all about NV! Please read the posts. Truly amazing! I wish I had never stopped. This product is sold as an Aurvedic weight loss drink. The Deepak Chopra centre endorses it. It is whey based but is sold as GFCF. Apparently whey has no caesin in it? Or they have removed it? Not sure but it is GFCF, says right on it. I was very suspicious, but it really helps. One thought is that whey boosts glutathion levels. (sorry for spelling, long day no spell check) Also, it contains tumeric and curcumin, which are known for their anti inflamitory properties. I thought I would share it with this board, as these apraxic/spd kids share a lot of the same issues. If anyone orders it and notices changes please share!
