Hi All--

I gave my son a quarter piece of white bread this morning with a little goat's milk butter. This is the third day he has been eating this.  I limit it to 1/2 of a piece of the bread a day because he is enormously sensitive to gluten. I am completely out of foods to feed him so this is a last resort to keep him from being hungry. He eats almost no carbs just meat and a little fruit.

After i gave him the bread last night he sat on the floor and twirled a cat toy back and forth for 20 minutes repeating the words "peanut butter". I was a little floored....this morning, very similar reaction--same cat toy but the word today was donut. He calls bread donut .  I  made up a shooter to give him of sodium bicarbonate (he has a peptic ulcer and has pain after eating) and I put in a histame capsule. Within 5 minutes of the shooter he was hitting himself in the head and screaming. Then I n oticed that he had a rash on his neck and cheek--he started to itch  it. About 15 minutes later he was ok, back to normal.

Does this indicate a reaction to the histame (positive or negative)? I'm clueless here--I still cannot figure out how to test him for MCAD  and I've had no luck getting in touch with Dr. Theo yet. I will eventually be able to test his trypstase level but I'm waiting for other blood tests to be ordered so I can put them all in one batch (one draw). My husband has been looking for a lab to test methyl histamines but we have not been able to find one. Does ARUP do this?

I guess I'm just wondering if this reaction to histame indicates histamine reaction in his stomach? I am going to give him the quarter piece of bread again tonight and see what happens. He also reacts to potato so I was thinking of giving him a few french fries and give him the histame. I've always thought that he was reacting to the oxalate in the potato but gosh I'd love to know if it was the histamine!!!

Please advise on any of this. I'm really REALLY confused )))

Thank you!!!!

Thanks for your message. yes he is ASD diagnosed but has lots of weird problems in addition to that...he does not fit the diagnosis well at all, but they put him on the spectrum because he is non verbal. For some reason we cannot figure out, he has a very negative reaction to Zantac and other H2 blockers. We have tried prilosec, zantac and one other I can't remember. he is currently on pepcid--20mg in the morning and 10 mg at night. It does not work very well but it's better than nothing!

I was researching Dr. Theo and found out about Neuroprotek...does anyone else take this? It seems to be a combination of luteolin, quercetin and rutin.....I just received it in the mail. Not sure if I should risk it but I feel so helpless I'm tempted to try it. Please let me know if anyone else has tried it.... Th ank you!
