Chocolate and egg white both can be quite allergenic, especially
egg white. RP is fine with strained yogurt, it is the lactic acid
in yogurt that is problematic. Vitamin K2 is very helpful in
dental health with adequate calcium and D3. Sugar is beneficial
in many different ways, one is improving dental health.
I think you might have to add good quality additive free
vitamins to prevent nutritional deficiencies and some
therapeutic effect of higher dose vitamins like K2.
Vitamin D deficiency is quite common now, daily dose of
vitamin D3 has shown wide range of health benefits
in addition to bone health.
You can experiment during weekends and holidays
to see if removing starch and allergenic food
makes any difference. I used to just eat coconut oil by spoon
and add to almost everything i was eating. You can make
ice cream with coconut oil. Pectin in apple and other foods can increase
serotonin even if it is ripe. You can try pectin free apple juice
or apple juice concentrate. It is a lot of work figuring out food
that are gut friendly. In addition to charcoal you can experiment
with other antibacterial fiber like cooked mushroom and cooked
bamboo shoots. I have found small amount of cooked bamboo
shoots to be very helpful. Raw carrot salad is bit tricky,
it's effect depends on a lot of things including quality,
size of shredding, timing of the intake, right amount of
chewing etc. You can also look into other safe herbal antiobiotics.
Thank you again, Mittir. I have been giving her 2 drops of Thorne vitamin D/K, but perhaps it's not enough. She does get lots of sugar from high quality local apple juice (doesn't haven any musty smell so I hope no fungus). She also eats gelatinous sweets (EU so no artificial colours) and generally I let her eat sugar and salt to taste. But I worry sometimes. Perhaps sugar is great for people with fantastic metabolism, but less so for autistic, hypothyroid people. Perhaps the sugar converts into acid that attacks teeth enamel? In terms of vitamins, not sure what brand to trust, but I will do some research because I feel she needs a help. It's a good idea to experiment with starch free weekends, bearing in mind that she can turn quite nasty if she doesn't get her chocolate, starch fix. I know, apples aren't ideal, but at this time of year I hardly find any fruit that is ripe in the shops besides apples. Fortunately she likes stewed apples as well, although these can't be dipped in the choc. I have been giving her cooked mushrooms already but she won't eat it every day. Interesting about carrots being so difficult to get right. I guess that's why so many people haven't find them working for them. I have never tried cooked bamboo shoots and am not even sure we can get it here. Herbal antibiotics sound interesting, do you have any suggestion?
