help infant has autism please help

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

  • The syllogism ''all Autistic people are humans, humans are diverse, therefore no two people with autism are the same'' is very true. Yes,  people with ASC can develop food intolerances, the runs, allergies etc on top of the autism, but so too do many people without autism. There are no fewer people with autism and aspergers who have no health problems or intolerances, myself included. Indeed, having an illness can make the autism more pronounced, but this does not mean the autism CAUSED the illness!. Correlation  does not mean causation. With regard to diets, these help if a medic has diagnosed an intolerance, but they don't cure the autism, although the autistic 'symptoms' may lessen in intensity once the diet is introduced simply because the autism was compounded by the stress of having an intolerance.

    Your theory is anecdotal, far-fetched and irrational to say the least. You certainly jump to rash conclusions based on flimsy reasoning and faulty logic.
