Dr's help or on your own?

[Guest guest]

My daughter is almost 4 yrs old and has reactions to several foods, although she

has never been allergy tested. Right now she is on a very limited rotation

diet. She's also on Trienza (2 caps 3x a day) and No Fenol powder (1/8 tsp 2x a

day). I do have her on a multivitamin, but just a generic one, Now Foods

probiotic-10, and epsom salt baths 3-5x a week. She has a language delay also

and is getting speech therapy once a week. Before I put her of gf/cf diet at 2

1/2 yrs she only said about 15 words consistently, but now talks all the time.

She seems to have trouble with transitioning from one activity to another. It

also seems worse at preschool than it is at home and the only thing I can think

of is maybe the paints or something else that she plays with there could be

setting her off. I do notice some obsessive behaviors, like she has to put her

blankie on her stepstool before standing on it to brush her teeth, then she has

to get her toothbrush wet and tap it on the side of the sink before I can put

toothpaste on it. This is probably the worst thing she does as far as obsessive

behavior. If I turn on her water for her, she gets upset with me. Her bm's are

mostly normal except every once in a while they will be really loose. Her diet

never changes, so I'm not sure if it's due to yeast or bacterial overgrowth or

possibly a nervous stomach? I did try OLE and GSE, but she seemed to act out a

little more each time I tried to increase the dose...maybe that's normal to have

an adjustment time? I started with 2 drops and worked up, increasing every 4

days, but only did this for about a month.

How long is it safe to use GSE and OLE for? Do I need additional yeast fighters

like Candidase? What are the symptoms for PANDAS? I've heard obsessive

behaviors can be caused by this.

I should add that I don't feel she's that bad off. I don't even know for sure

if she has toxic metals in her system. She seems to be a little behind socially

and her language is about 1 yr behind. She has trouble with the " w " questions.

She speaks, plays well with others, but is somewhat rigid in her routines.

Are you working with dr's at all, or doing this on your own? Is it possible to

self treat/heal?

I am feeling very lost and overwhelmed in all of this. I truly appreciate any

help you can give me.
