I believe that sharing my thoughts and doubts can somehow help me solve the situation I'm in. My son was diagnosed with autism when he was 2 (12 years ago), which I still believe is a case of misdiagnose. When he was 6 he had his first seizure and we had to hospitalize him. He was seizure free for two years although i didn't gave him the anti epileptic drug as described from the doctors, I have this attitude against medications in general. Meanwhile I treated him for gut parasites and applied a GFCF diet. I still remember this period as the healthiest one for Patrik (Patrik is my son's name). But the seizures were back again and although his overall performance was very much improved he was (and still is) nonverbal. So we stopped the GFCF diet and started the anti epileptic treatment (valproic acid). I was told from the medical staff that there was no need for a specific diet unless the examinations show it necessary. A specific examination like antitransglutaminasa showed no allergy or intolerance toward gluten. I felt stupid and disappointed. He started taking valproic acid since then (I always take care to expose him to a minimal dose related to his body weight) and has experienced seizures once or twice a year. All of a sudden he started to have frequent seizure episodes. From last November the frequence got higher and the last two episodes are 5 days apart, which scares me a lot. We had an MRI and an EEG both showing nothing to be worried about. We also had a bunch of blood examinations trying to figure out the situation. The doctors were interested on depakiemia value, which of course was low, and couldn't notice some explicit changes in blood formula showing a parasite infestation. They described a higher dose of valproic acid and another supporting drug.
Yes I hate to expose him to so much poison without even knowing the real cause of the seizure. Now I am planning to treat him once again for gut parasites and the light anemia that is present. I am also planning to go GFCF again. I would really appreciate if someone had any type of similar experience and expertise related. Thanks a lot, I hope that was not too annoying!
