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

  • Hi everyone,

    A few points from me as moderator:

    Firstly, I'm not about to shut this discussion down, so don't worry and don't stop.

    Secondly, please be civil. Asking other people to leave the forum isn't acceptable. Telling other people they're stupid isn't acceptable. Please don't post in ALL CAPS, or use loads of exclamation marks. These things make it look like you're shouting, and nobody wants someone else shouting in their face.

    Thirdly, as the saying goes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. The NAS's general position on the causes of autism can be found on the website. In short - the causes of autism are not fully understood, but all the causes that we do understand are genetic. The NAS advises that gastro-intestinal problems in people on the spectrum should be treated just the same, and just as seriously, as in anyone else. There is no credible evidence that gastro-intestinal problems cause autism.

    Konstantin Monastyrsky is not a qualified professional in the field of autistic spectrum disorders. To the best of my knowledge he has only an undergraduate degree in pharmacy, and makes his living as a computer programmer. He appears to have made some extravagant claims of causal links between diet and several medical conditions, including autistic spectrum disorders, multiple sclerosis, and infertility. He appears never to have produced a scientific paper on the subject, and as such, his opinions have never been subject to scientific peer review.

    Many thanks for all your contributions.

    Best wishes,
