Well, its been a fast spring and summer and here comes the fall. Our progress this year has been remarkable. Asher is now completely on a gluten free casein free diet and still fully on Feingold. The diet and cooking has been tricky but we've seen less "eggshell" days and unexplainable rage, whining, and flatout meanness. We also went to see a DAN doctor in Kansas City to help us continue down the right road. Per his suggestions, we've added in a multivitamin, 500 mg of calcium daily, liquid B6, and Cod Liver Oil.
We think a combination of the Cod Liver Oil (helped his allergies) and the calcium have finally helped him sleep through the night again. I also outsmarted myself and switched his 100 mg of Magnesium to evening instead of morning. I orginally administered it in the morning to keep him calmer during the day, but the diet really helped that. Giving it at night is helping him wind down and settle down to sleep better.
We also just ordered a blood test for food allergies to see if there is anything that we are missing from Alcat Labortories. Then we're going to do the Nutreval from Genova Diagnostics to see what else is going on in that little body that could help him. After all of that we plan to do a oral Chelation therapy with this doctor in Kansas City because somehow the genetics in my mom's side of the family really hangs on to metals. I will probably do this with him since I have toxic mercury and cadmium in my body too.
Our daughter Giya is doing much better since we discovered she was allergic to wheat and corn. It was really messing up her bowels and her sleep patterns. Every now and then she cycles through a bit of it again, and I just give her an extra Allerase enzyme once or twice a day with an extra probiotic and within a few days, she is back to normal sleeping patterns again. We're not sure what messes it up now, but she has still been getting teeth this year and that could be it. We'll know soon enough, since her last two molars are coming in now.
She also shows more of a tendency for low blood sugar like I had as a kid. We started giving her the Reduce Enzyme from Enzymedica and it has REALLY helped the meltdowns that were happening before meals. They have all but disappeared.
We are so blessed to have a community of people that God has brought to us to help guide us on this journey.
