glutathione/activated charcoal and abx

[pixiesmommy]

Two things that helped our tics (Pixie's are almost gone, but I have tics too)

 

-Feingold program to decrease intake of salicylates (more for Pixie than myself, but I have an issue with apples in particular)

 

-Avoiding corn and corn products (very hard, but very worth it- I have dermatillomania and it disappears when I don't have corn)

 

Thanks again for all the feedback!

you know...oddly enough ds was skin picking for awhile..HMMMMM...

AND..he could not eat fruit for the longest time, as it made his mouth itch..

i always wondered why he would eat his veggies but wouldn't eat fruit...FREAK!!!

 

but...some time around sept..he started to be able to eat fruit.??????

he is not eating it alot...but once in awhile and no complaints.....

that was after the month taper in july..could that have reduced his overreaction to it...

when i saw latimer in aug..she said would grow out of it.....

did she sublimianlly do some energy mojo on him...

he also started allergy shots about Oct and from what i understand reduceing any inflamtion response might help in other areas of inflamtion...

 

CORN!!!..i have looked into it before...he doen'st necessarily care for corn...but if you think GFCF is hard...try going corn free....i don't think i have it in me....

 

WERE IS THE MAJIC PILL MY DS CAN TAKE SO I CAN BE DONE...NNNOOOWWWW YOU WOULD GET ME BEHIND SOME PHARMACUICTIALS!!!!

Haha. I *am* corn-free and it is HARD! I am skin-picking again this week because I am on Cipro and I guarantee you it has corn. If not, I know my probiotics do. When doing meds/supps it's impossible because that cellulose casing is CORN!

 

Pixie is able to tolerate apples in moderation now and I swear I think it is due to not having had gluten for a year. I think her gut had to heal in order to tolerate the salicylates better, BUT having said that, I know that is not the case in all kids. Some have to do GF/CF and Feingold forever.

 

Feingold is awesome though. It was $$ at first to get all the stuff, but once you get the hang of it, it's totally worth it and you don't really have to order the stuff again after the first time unless you eat out a lot because you can kind of tell what caused the reaction if it's just food from home.
