Outgrow intolerance?
We lived on dairy, and I removed it from his diet, and everythingimproved within 2 weeks. I am still trying to figure out where elsedairy is “hidden” in his foods. A friend told me that if I can keephim off any trace of dairy for 1 year, he may grow out of it. Buteverytime, he gets a little bit here and there, his body isoverreacting and it will get worse as he gets older. Is this true???I haven’t been able to find any reseach to confirm or deny.

As far as the casein problem that most of our asd children have, I havenever seen this either. However, when my twins were just over a year old theygot a bad case of the flu and then within 2 weeks of that had Camflowbactor(spl?) poisoning from some kind of meat. They developed (over active bowels) asper our doctor at the time. He put them on a Lactose free and high fat - lowfibre diet for 1 year. It worked. Maybe your friend meant Lactose intolerance?

Casein is milk protein. For casein intolerance (not allergy), GreatPlains Lab has a urine casein test (to test for caseinomorphinelevels ie “improperly digested”). If the level is high, it’s said thechild did not digest & thus does not tolerate casein well & it takes2-3 weeks of complete abstinence for caseinomorphine (if I spellit right) to be eradicated considerably from the body.
Your friend is probably referring to milk allergy - I visited aMedical doctor who injects pure food form into the skin to testfor food allergy. This doctor suggested that I should abstaincompletely from the foods that I’m known to be allergic to fora year, then after that I may resume eating the food in smallportions about once/twice a week & I will not develop allergy toit but should I consume in large portions over an extendedperiod, I’ll need to repeat the one year abstinence again.
The biomed books I’ve seen like those by Dr McCandless saysthat such abstinence is best done at the earliest age possible(just like what the proponents of Floortime/ABA training suggest)as the brain is still developing at this infancy period & beyond theage of 6, it gets more difficult… just quoting what I’ve read

The Child Development doctors/psychologists I’ve visited so far (inmy country) generally recommend non-invasive intervention becontinued as long as we can afford as they’re harmless to the child(though not friendly to our budget). “Non-invasive” interventionrefers to OT, ST, Floortime, ABA & training related interventionsbut exclude craniotherapy, biomed & even listening therapy.
Yes, I forgot to say that the very same test offerred by GreatPlains Lab tests for Both casein & gluten (’improper digested’forms are called caseinomorphine & gliadorphine)

For some kids, once you remove the “daily assault” of foods and othertoxins, the body can begin to detox itself. For most kids, however,their bodies need more help in starting the detox process, includingeven using active chelators to remove the embedded toxins.
My kids tolerated no foods. HNI enzymes helped them tolerate mostfoods, but not all. ALA chelation allowed them to eat all foods, evenwithout enzymes. There were a few other “body functions” that alsoneeded addressing, even beyond chelation.
