kim Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Sarah, 75% is great! Could you tell me what zymex thymex is? Hate to sound like a broken record, but since we had discussed yeast and your son had symptoms, I'm wondering if that was ever tested for, or treated? So glad you checked in. Hope your Mom is well. Kim
Robin O Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 luvmulilrainman, Let me know how you think the ambrotose works for your son. My neighbor would like us to try it for my son with TS, ADD and OCD. I am not sure about it. I have read and head of a lot of very successful stories etc. We have had a rough summer with a lot of new tics and his OCD getting really bad. We did see a DAN Dr. Last week and are waiting on the results of his test. I dont want to try anything new until we get the test results back. Robin
luvmylilrainman Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Robin O Hi, just wanted to share some info on the Ambrotose. I started giving my son Ambrotose because I read many goods things on how it can help autistic children. Ive seen improvement in his behavior. He's talking more and is more aware of the things around him. He has better eye contact and is interacting much better with other children. Glyconutrients provide nutrition on a cellular level....regenerating new healthy cells. I also use Ambrotose supplementation for his allergies, which if not under control can escalate into asthma. He's 9 yrs old and I give him 1/4 tsp in the morning and 1/4 tsp in the evening. Ambrotose can also give a yeast-die off reaction so it's best to start with low dose and work your way up to 1/2 tsp. I also give him enzymes and probiotics to help along the way. I watch his diet even though he's such a picky eater due to his Sensory Dysfunction and being orally-hypersensitive. I have to say I've seen results in behavior, speech, concentration and socialization. I'm sure it will be beneficial to your beautiful son..let me know how it goes. God Bless you all luvmylilrainman
luvmylilrainman Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Hi Kim I totally agree regarding the digestive system. If you fix the gut, you fix the whole body. I learned so much about this when my son was diagnosed with autism. Autistic children have problems in their digestive tract due to several reasons. In speaking for my son I can tell you that alot of things weakened his immune system which in turn weakened his digestive tract. When he was diagnosed at 3 1/2 I put him on a gluten-casein free diet. Prior to this he was such a milk drinker, and gosh was he addicted to it. I've learned it usually works like this...whatever the child constantly craves, is exactly what he's allergic to. He was allergic to the casein in the milk. When he was drinking milk, he would become brain-fogged, sort of sleepy and cranky. Sometimes he would cry constantly and hold his head as if he had severe headaches. I looked into this and realized that the casein in the milk was giving him an opiate effect in the brain. Well I removed all dairy from his diet and saw major improvemnts right away. With the "yeast" issue, I also agree. I treat him for that as well. I watch his diet, use nutritional supplements and ebsom salt baths. As far as the L-Carnosine, I started using it 2 years ago because I researched and came across a doctor who recommended it for autistic children. Because it is a dipeptide, it may be neuroprotective or may support the frontal lobe function in the brain. I can honestly say that when I did started him on L-Carnosine, I saw immediate results. His behavior was calmer, he was much more focused and his speech improved from 3 word sentences to 8 word sentences. I had stopped using L-Carnosine to give his body rest and just a couple of days ago I started again because of the new tics. Again I see results. His tics have not gone away but I do see a decrease in them. I might just add that all of this is not possible if it were not for my faith and love in the Lord Jesus Christ whom I believe first before all things....luvmylilrainman
