We changed our boy’s constipation to diarrhea by increasing to fulldose of Glycolax, increasing magnesium, and serving potato more oftenand rice less. We found a balance finally, but kept him on the runnyside because he was still straining (even though no more bricks). Weassume it’s gas pains. We’d taken 3-4 weeks to get to this point.Things were stable.

About 4 days ago we tried to add a yeast kill protocol that anotherparent wrote she had success with. We tried to use No fenol and 1hour later, a few drops of GSE. We did this only one time per day forthree days.

Now Seth has worse diarrhea like water. This has been going on for2-3 days now. It was so bad today, that Seth’s teacher called andsaid it ran down his pants into his shoes, so he had to be taken homefrom school early (or stay there with no shoes). My wife thought weshould cut back on No Fenol and GSE. I said, no. Cut back on Glycolax.

Was the yeast causing the constipation, and can the very waterydiarrhea therefore indicate yeast is dead or dying? Have other’sexperienced this, or is our boy unique? Should we suspect somethingelse caused the change? Would it be a good idea to continue the yeastkill protocol indefinitely, and slowly cut out the Glycolax? I’venoticed a bit more congition since the No Phenol / GSE routine.

My son has constipation, also I believe that he has yeast overgrowth. Started afew weeks, I fed him Pro-biotics, plus more fruite. Since then, there were twodays, his bowel movement was great. We thought constipation issue would go awaysoon. However it is not. Instead, he starts to pass gas, which he didn’t dobefore. Is this a good sign or bad sign, or doesn’t mean anything?

My daughter is consistently low in zinc even though we supplement atweight +20. Has anyone out there had this problem and been able toremedy it by switching to a different brand?. My daughter was takingKirkman zinc capsules and we recently added in kirkman liquid zinc buthaven’t tested after that addition. Any info would be great.

i have a friend who wold like to take her daughter to a DAN doctor. Shelives in the Scranton, PA area.. Anyone help with a name of a good Doc? thankyou in advance

I recently had fasting blood tests for our son with our family doc (going onto a DAN doc next month). The “alkaline phosphatase came out really high(461 with a reference of 50-136). Doc said that was ok. . .

What do you think that high score means?

Hi I’m Charlene, My son Joseph is 2.2 years old and it’s been about 6months since the doc said he has Autism… He’s been on the diet forabout 3 months and within the first two weeks we saw amazing resultsin his eye contact, he spoke saying mom 8 times and of course his nextword was NO at least 3 times. By the time Joseph was 18 months he hadlost all his words and was just sqealing and screaming if frustration.ABA and this diet are the best two things in our lives right now…Joseph is very sensor motivated… has anyone had any luck with theweighted vest? And what else do I need to know? He is still havingissues with his bowls… I have the special diets for Special kidsbook but I have not read anything about removing soy… or aboutavoiding certain vitamins… I am reading as fast as I can…about 100messages today in hopes of helping my boy feel better… let me know

This is my second request. I need to find a recipe for my soon to be1 year old’s birthday cake. He is intolerant to rice and his brothersare intolerant to gluten and sorghum. Nobody will eat anything usingbean and amaranth. What can I do with what is left (potato, tapioca,quinoa and nut flours)?

I remember reading the question about Chick Filet fries beingGF/CF but I don’t recall the answer. Can someone shed light on this?I called Chick Filet and they gave me the ingredients - I wasn’t clearon the chemicals and I just wanted to ask “the source”. Thanks so much!

Ok, I promise this is the last question (at least this morning)!!

Anyone make homemade mayonnaise? The recipes I see call for eggs. Isn’tthere a possibility of salmonilla or something nasty from raw eggs? Arethere special eggs you can use to eliminate this possibility? Does anyoneknow this one?

Can I get some suggestions of a good sandwich bread please for my sonwho ONLY eats sandwiches!
