Purple coloring under the eyes
My son has had this FOREVER. I thought when we started withsupplements, gf/cf and chelation, that it would go away. It’s stillthere and he is still pale. I’ve read that it could be foodallergies. I’m wondering if it might be corn? My question is if anyof you have this issue with your children and how did you clear it up?
There is another boy with autism in his class who also has the purplecircles. I asked his teacher about and she is under the impressionthat it’s caused by bad sleep. Though my son always has slept well.She says their brains don’t shut down enough to get good rest. Notreally buying that.

My son was like this, too. If we stop his supplements for a few days,it will come back. Also, he had it up until we removed the last of hisfood intolerances (corn, soy, and rice are some of his bad ones,besides gluten and casein). There are probably alot of causes for ourchildren, but I, too, doubt the “bad sleep” theory. There is too muchgoing on in our childs guts. While my sons gut isn’t healed yet, withthe supplements and his diet, his circles are gone and so is his paleskin.

that great to hear. Sounds like you’ve figured it out. I knowI need to take a trial run of removing corn. But man, rice and cornout, what do you feed them?? how do you make bread? I’m gettingnervous again, like when we first went on the diet.

That’s good to know because a lot of parents I’ve heard from see thatafter beginning chelation. I’ll know now to mention that possibility,and I’ll know to look out for it in my own kid. Food intolerancesand/or allergies.

If you can remove all the allergy triggers, they shoudl clear up. I’vedone the best ican to remove mine, but I cant control the trees, weedsand nature of living in an old house. I still haev circles. It won’tbe until I am living in a new home in desert before I’ll see mycircles leave. Hopefully my son’s will completely go away once we getout of this house. It’s taking time, but they are diminishing.
