sorry, that is really hard to spell -- phosphatidyl choline or something like that. i get it in pure oil and for one kid I just squirt it in his mouth (!) and for the other i mix w/pb and vanilla, and he actually puts some vanilla on his nose to tolerate swallowing it. What's Eating Your Child is really interesting about this. It's a soy product I think... A component used in the brain. It's supposed to help with all kinds of issues.
I will go ahead and post to kick off the thread: Our story started when I just happened to get a job working as a receptionist for a naturopath when my son was in the diagnosis process (he was 2.5 yrs at the time). I took my son for an evaluation and started him on the recommended supplements which included a combination of homeopathic, vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements. We did a few different protocols and saw HUGE leaps in speech/language development, desire to engage with us, and his severe sleep issues went away. Now he is on a maintenance daily regime of the following supplements: probiotics, Vitamin D, Cod Liver oil, high dose whole foods based B-vitamins, magnesium (orally and takes baths with Epsom salts nightly), theanine, GABA, 5-HTP, CoQ10, Juice+ chewables, and a mineral supplement.
We did not see any changes when we tried gluten free, casein free diet, however my son is extremely sensitive to artificial dyes and sweeteners (so am I) so we avoid those like the plague. I am a working mom and love brands like Amy's organic and others which are natural.
I think it is different for each child, my son is still certainly autistic, but he feels better physically and functions much better in multiple domains such as his communication, behavior, and sleep as a result of the supplements and dietary things we do. I recommend working with a naturopath or clinical nutrition counselor if you can (it makes things a lot less confusing and overwhelming) but you can always go to your local health food store and try things out as your budget will allow (usually the staff at health food stores are very helpful and knowledgeable). If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me.
We started on a GFDF diet in March 2014. Since May 2014 our regimen has been: 2 Nuthera with P5P, 1 tbsp Carlsons Cod Liver Oil, 2 Culturelle in the morning (20 minutes before meal), 3000 iu Vitamin D drops, Digest RIght Enzymes with meals, 4 Perma Clear supplements daily, and use unrefined coconut oil like butter.
So far, my son has went from nonverbal, to pointing and saying over 50 words. He knows his colors and shapes, and can count to 10.
Liver life-improved sleep and healthier look, no liver pockets around the eyes
Probiotics-improved stools and he didn't get sick the whole 2010-2011 winter
Magnesium Taurate-seizures decreased to occasional, improved pooping more regular
Methylb12 injections- drastic improvement in language
Taurine-calms him down, no jumping all over the place and can focus better. Helped with OCD behaviors also.
