The two foods Grayson reacted most severely and obviously to, were egg and corn. If you read about our early days with treatment, you know that we have very successfully reintroduced eggs into Grayson's diet, although we do still rotate all of his foods, so we don't end up with new sensitivities, and now....CORN!! Woooot woooot!! I have given him blue corn chips two days in a row so far. And this time I started much slower, a bite, then a full chip....he's doing perfectly fine with them. My next test will be pop corn, I can't wait to give him popcorn with virgin coconut oil on his coconut days!! What a treat!! In addition to the major foods, we have also treated for some interesting things like alkaline, stomach acids, digestive enzymes, etc. These are all things I suspect are issues for Grayson, considering they are all rooted in the GI problems he was having. Not to get too graphic, but I must add that since his treatments, his bowel movements have been beautiful!! I know, beautiful probably isn't a word you would use in the same sentence as bowel movement, but if you saw some of the things we have seen....they truly ARE beautiful now! He always had undigested foods and some form of either looseness or even the strangest fluffy diarrhea and some would start out looking constipated and shift to loose all in the same movement, but I will stop there, just in case you are eating lunch. You get my point though, right? Perfect, perfect poop! Something to be proud of, because I have to believe that to some degree, this is a sign that things are moving in the right direction, no pun intended, he he he. Perhaps the leaky gut is healing, he is most definitely digesting foods more appropriately and the consistency and color indicate sufficient bile, even through chelation rounds which, in the past, have resulted in very pale tones in the beige family.....not enough bile.
So moving on, I just wanted to share yet another absolutely amazing sign that the BAX3000 is a necessity to the autism community. A woman contacted me through Generation Rescue, where I am a Rescue Angel, about her son who was recently diagnosed as autistic. He doesn't speak, doesn't make eye contact, plays alone and of course, has a multitude of sensitivities. Since she was local, I mentioned this treatment to her and she wasted no time, she had an appointment the very next day, impressive!! After only three treatments so far, he went from being irritated, crying and fighting during treatments to calm, happy and get this, he has not only made eye contact and smiled at various people in the office, but he has spoken!! He even said "bye-bye" while looking directly in the doctor's eyes. Three treatments, THREE!! This is not to say that he is done, he has a long road of treatments ahead of him and I believe this technology can do wonders, but I also believe in the big picture. This mother is also watching his diet very closely, he is GFCF, he is being properly supplemented with vitamins and minerals, she is removing toxins in their home and he is being treated naturally for any other pathogenic infections when they are present. Have you ever wondered why the logo for Autism is a piece of a puzzle?
Being mom to a child with several food sensitivities identifies me with a new world, one of caution and education. I never knew reading labels and ingredients could become second nature, who knew that artificial colors and additives could create time bombs, that wheat and dairy could turn a child into a tantrum whirlwind...learn about our journey into the new world of food sensitivities and what they mean. THIS WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING!
