Enzymes/ CEASE therapy anyone?

stardust66

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone else has tried homeopathic CEASE therapy or Enzyme therapy? My son is rising 4, and is having assessments for ASD. So far the paediatrician at Child Development says that he is not ASD, but CAMHS, who have seen him at the centre with me, and observed him in school think that he is ASD. This has been going on for many months now, and we are getting nowhere as the professionals just cannot agree. All the traits seem to have grown in him since the age of two and are getting worse and worse all the time. I cannot sit by and see him withdraw further from life, with no support from the health professionals, so have decided to try CEASE therapy and Enzyme therapy. I just wondered if any other parents had tried either and what results (if any) you noticed please.

  • Hi - me again.  You could try helping him by presuming he is autistic until you get a definite diagnosis (or not).  From your description he could be, but we are not in a position to diagnose as you know.  I've always thought the discussions about autism + gut problems are interesting.  It's been an issue for ages.  I do have an opinion in that autistic people tend to suffer from anxiety, some have poor diets, some do not like using the toilet either at home or at a public facility.  It can be v anxiety-inducing for a child to use a public toilet when loads of other children are also in the loos, quite often laughing, sometimes screaming or having a carry on.  So whether there's something specific about some autistic people + bowel troubles which marks them out from others I cannot say.  I don't think it's been proven from what I've read, altho there are always theories.  Can I say I know I was blunt in a previous post + I do understand your desire to leave no stone unturned to help your son.  Many parents have researched various therapies over many years.  You can spend a lot of time on these but they are not proven. You ask what you can do.  Posters have mentioned tried + tested ways in their replies.  Once again good luck with everything - it's about time your fortunes improved.  Have an urge to start on about the unfairness of it all but will stop now!  Let us know how things progress.  We do understand.
