Does any one have an opinion on what could cause this? How to get it too stop?

Is is yeast? viral? This has been going on for 6 weeks, the shirt tag thing, 2

weeks.

At my house, it would have meant yeast.

May be a need for magnesium, b-complex, or chicken pox coming out. My sons ran

around naked when they had chicken pox and it can come back as shingles. It has

significant skin impacts. Some anti-viral protocols include vitamin A, vitamin

E, OLE and lysine.

None of the supplements or diet have ever helped my son like clothing. He will

not wear jeans or any stiff fabrics. For years, it seemed like he was always

naked. Finally we figured out that he would wear certain clothes and just not

others. He's 8 and he lives in tagless tees, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and other

soft unstructured clothes. A lot of times I can find cute pants made of

sweatshirt material that are open at the ankles (instead of elastic) and have

cargo pockets and stuff so they don't look as much like sweats. I know I am

treating the symptom and not the cause, but it has made clothing a lot less of a

fight at our house. My 14 year old doesn't have autism but he has definite tag

issues and will cut every tag out of his clothes and has since he was little.

For my son this type of thing would be food intolerance and parasites.

It sure seems that way LOL

There are 5 of us doing biomedical here, 4 kids and 1 adult. Oddly, each of us

had different symptoms for yeast overgrowth. So a LOT of things meant yeast

overgrowth here, but each symptom did not apply to every one of us.

Way too many reasons behind new behaviors to pinpoint a definite cause. Keep up

your current chelation protocol and trust this, too, will pass! If you see

other indications of yeast overgrowth then certainly it makes sense to up

whatever you are using for yeast.

ALL of my kids went through a phase where they didn't want to wear clothing. I

think the vast majority of children do that. It is all a matter of degree, I

suppose.

kind of cold to be naked right now! I hope you live somewhere warm.

For us this was part of my son's later diagnosed sensory disorder.

Chelation has led to gradual improvements in it. He used to run around in

nothing but a diaper. He wears clothes now but prefers no socks.

For most of his toddlerhood he was only in a diaper. He'd fuss and pull the

clothing off or cry miserably when wearing it.

His symptoms are aggravated by heavy metals..if we go too long without a round

we see some worsening of symptoms. If we chelate regularly we see them going

away and improving. I have seen it sometimes aggravated by yeast, but not

always.

Have you had him evaluated yet to see if he has a sensory disorder?

Just to further note, my son no longer has yeast and has been treated for

parasites but still has clothing issues as Tactile defensiveness.

He's a zillion times better than he used to be mind you. But for us these things

were not the cause. So if you get rid of yeast and kill parasites and they still

won't wear tags......it might be metals and part of how it's cause their nervous

system to wire.

There is therapy to help it, and of course accomodations like those suggested

below by mjmjlucas.

http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/

For us we too began with certain fabrics, cotton only, no tags, sweats. That

worked well until he was older, further chelated and able to tolerate more

fabrics. He now can wear cargo pants, and polo shirts. He will wear socks if he

has too, but only a certain kind. Many of our improvements with this didn't

occur until a year into chelation. And are still occurring. (up to 90 rounds

now).

For a long time I was not sure if metals really could be a cause or contributor

for this, but I can see that for my son they are. We had reached some great

gains over the past few weeks with the cargo pants, and reduced tactile

defensiveness to paper...then we had to skip a week of chelation...and low and

behold...he went back to not wearing his sweats and not touching the paper. He

then told me it was my fault because I didn't give him his round last week! To

sum it up...we have seen pretty clear connections to doing chelation and

improving sensory disorders/tactile issues.

We had been rx'd the Wilbarger Brushing protocol but that was not helpful at

all. My son hated it. Some people say it helps, but you need to find a therapist

to teach you how to do it.

See what kind of pants the little one will wear for now. All you can do is find

stuff they will wear.

For us, this was a sensory issue as well. To overcome this, we continued

chelating and used the help of an OT to create a " sensory diet " that involved

getting a full body massage every night (lucky duck!). At one point, my little

guy would become fully awake from a deep sleep if I just put a sheet over him.

After many months of the massages and deep compressions, he now sleeps soundly

wrapped up in his comforter.

Good Luck!

We had sensory issues with child #2 seemingly pop up from no-where--sock issues

that caused terrible problems getting to school on time:). The issues would

literally pop up with no warning; but after some thought I realized that this

would happen every time I tried to go scrupulously gluten-free with child #2 (we

didn't have sensory issues connected with the gfcf diet with child #1-his

sensory was connected to yeast- so it took a little time to switch gears).

What I finally realized was that the extra starches involved with many gluten

free recipes were feeding bad bacteria like crazy. Cutting back on the starches

and other SCD forbidden foods, as well as using zyme prime enzymes, has

eliminated the sock problems at our house (relief!!)

My typical 17-year-old was the same way. No jeans. Had to be soft pants and

shirts. He was homeschooled until 11th grade so it wasn't a problem. He started

to wear jeans when he went back to school I think because of what the other kids

are wearing. He goes to a private school and has to wear belts and collared

shirts too and that hasn't been a problem anymore. My 10-year-old with autism

has not problem with clothing and is the fun one to dress (I can put anything on

him). My 4-year-old (undiagnosed autism) does not like jeans so we buy soft yoga

pants and leggings. I think it is so much easier dressing a girl with these

types of issues. More softer clothing for them.

Clothing sensitivity is very common amongst all children. Tags are especially a

general population irritant, as is evident by the manufacturer response of

tagless shirts nowadays.

I did not wear jeans until I was in 9th grade b/c I did not like the thick seam

that joined the material in the crotch area. I required my mother to cut all of

my tags out of my clothing and I refused to wear any lace that touched my skin.

In addition, elastic arm bands were a major no-no! I had to wear my socks inside

out b/c of the seams and did this until I was about 18 y/o. Sensory

sensitivities are very common in society and in fact, cotton balls are one of

the most problematic textures. I cannot use cotton balls, hate pencils, and have

difficulty with night driving on the freeway.

I personally do not get concerned with my dd's sensory challenges, unless they

become so restrictive that it starts to limit her enjoyment in life and becomes

irrational. She doesn't like tags, we cut them out together. She doesn't like

underwear, we have a new goal. She doesn't like when her socks sag in her shoe,

so she pulls them up and tucks them in. The idea here is that " she " must

accommodate her own sensory challenges and adapt. WHen she can no longer manage

the items herself I know it's time to work on the challenge.

Who know what causes these sensory challenges, but many folks live with these

sensitivities.

P.S. I now could care less about seams, live in jeans, and will use a pencil if

I must. However, I still can't stand cotton balls and not a huge fan of wool

I've adapted over time, even if I wasn't the most fashionable as a kid.
