PREVENTIONISBETTERTHANCURE

 

I am a childminder and have cared for a number of children that have experienced diarrhoea. 

There are so many bugs going around the toddlers, plus people are generally more social these days. We are all sending our children to nurseries, playgroups,toddlers etc. to encourage our children to become social.

The concern was -  that when a toddler has diarrhoea -

 the bad bacteria will continue to multiply if they are fed milk during the illnesss -

They need clear fluids to keep them hydrated and protect their brain - aviod cows milk at this time, if at all possible

Cows milk multiplies the bad bacteria -

Please advise other parents with new babies and anyone with a child specifically under 3yrs of age - if their baby/child becomes ill with diarrhoea they must aviod giving the baby/ child cows milk until they recover. use alternatives if you have to - plus ask your G.P. for dietry advice. 

Wierd thing is -  yoghurt contains all the good bacteria to put the balance back in the gut - so aviod the cows milk but still try yoghurt, you can get pro biotic drinks too, but advice is only use them for a child when they are ill, as children don't normally need probiotic products in their daily diet.

 I phone Morrisons customer care helpline - they were really helpful - gave advice re: consuming probiotics and yoghurt if under 3yr old and during pregnancy

 

 

Please spread the word - thanks

  • Yes, there may be a connection. Child gets the runs, child experiences pain/illness more or in a different way to other children and reacts accordingly i.e. freaks out at change. As a result, ASD tendancies start showing themselves in more obvious manners. It 's probably as simple as that because I'm telling you ASD IS GENETIC.

    Been on cows milk pretty much my entire life and find it a wonderful comfort drink, my siblings and all my cousins (11 total) have had milk all their life. Only myself and one other have been diagnosed with a form of ASD. So, 2 out of 12 have ASD, however, we're related, and our grandparents display some autistic tendancies. Arguement for it being genetic, enforced, arguement for milk 'giving' us ASD. NULL AND VOID.

    The children will of course react differently after being unwell because this may be the first time they conciously register the sensation of being ill, and react in what they feel is a perfectly NATURAL manner. Sorry if it doesn't match up to your standards.

    Please don't come on a forum that supports relatives and those with ASD and preach that you know what's 'causing' it. Don't you think hundreds, millions have been searching for answers their whole lives? While I'm proud of who I am and what I've achieved, I know a hell of a lot of people who'd be 'normal' or 'cured' in a heartbeat, so please don't come on here and INSULT the rest of us.

    If you had posted 'I've noticed a child I watch develop asd tendacies after having milk (which is somehow related to the runs), any idea if this is true?', then people might have reacted more kindly, your attitude so far is that you seem to have decided you're right, and therefore, we're wrong.

    Also, because ASD is a GENETIC (yes, I will keep stressing this), it means we're more susceptable to other genetic disorders, which may include intolerance to gluten products. Its not uncommon. Its been PROVEN to not be uncommon. So please drop this 'diet must have something to do with causing it' theory. Everything has certain nutrients within it and everyone has different levels of nutrient intake in order to be healthy.

    And for heavens sake THE INCIDENT PROBABLY JUST PROMOTED A RESPONSE THAT WAS PERFECTLY LOGICAL TO THE CHILD, you lot just never realised that the 'independant streak' was in fact an aversion to communicating to others. You've probably passed off a ton of the childs 'normal' behaviour pre-'TB' because you didn't reckon they had ASD. Now that they're suddenly 'ASD' you're blaming what you deem the obvious thing. Go over the childs history and look at their behaviour, and for the love of all that is sanity DO YOUR BLOODY RESEARCH! ITS AN AUTISTIC SPECTRUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just in case you haven't gathered and need it spelled out I can safely say you've insulted and pissed off at least several relatives of those with ASD and a whole bunch of autistic individuals with your constant denial. This particular Aspie is considering asking you politely to leave and never come back. You do have the freedom to say what you want, but as a 'professional', you should at least have the DECENCY to respect others with this condition and ACKNOWLEDGE we have more knowledge about this than you do.

    Oh, and by the way, I'm sure this whole 'thing' where you're watching kids 'get' ASD is 'disturbing' and 'worrying'....how do you think the poor kids parents are feeling? Or better yet, the kid? Do you think they don't want this whole thing to 'disappear'?That kids life is never going to be the same as anyone else, they're going to have to grow up more different than all the others, they're the ones who have a right to be worried. Kindly start thinking about them and their family before thinking about yourself in that respect and stop spreading scaremongering rumours. They're gonna have enough to deal with without you adding to it needlessly.
