What after Stramonium - ADHD & Celiac	From l471530 [Log on to view profile]	on 2004-03-16

My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 6 yrs old and later with Celiac (can not digest gluten, a wheat and barley protein). My daughter is now 10 and still struggles in school. We have spent a few years working with homeopathy and still can not find anything that will help my daughter in school (130 IQ but grades that are not good). She has received tutoring, aid in school, takes a lot of supplements etc. but still has trouble focusing and can be quite impulsive. She has taken Hyoscamus, Cina (twice) Stramonium (a few times)and inbetween took some Thuya for warts and aresenicum album. The Cina and Stramonium both showed some improvements in some area but both resulted in very similiar symptoms (which I find quite interesting). They are as follows: extremely fearful (can not go to bed at night alone), emotional roller coaster - weepy, itchy all over, dry/scratchy cough, gassy, drinking orange juice, ankle hurting, and complaining that she was not her self and that her mind felt dull (her words). Can you please recommend considerations for the next remedy. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Celiac's disease may also be associated with casein sensitivity. Casein is the protein in cow's milk. Removing dairy may help. I would have your daughter tested before changing her diet further as dairy is a major food group. I have used the Enterolab. Search for Dr. Kenneth Fine and enterolab on the web. Good Luck. You can read more on the subject there.

Very Important information...has your daughter ever had a serious fall, or concussion? Just a note, but celiac disease often runs in families of Irish descent. How does the diarrhea look, smell?

Dear mother, have you ever considered Medorrhinum for your child? I recommend you to read Paul Herscus book "Homeopathic treatment of children" and you got a very good picture of this remedy. This remedy is very deep acting and should be used by an experiensed homeopath only. Good luck to you!

in addition to homeopathy try supplements (of good quality fish oil) of omega 3 oils. an experienced homeopath would be good for treatment and may consider whether these problems started around times of childhood vaccinations?

Any time she walks with you or goes with you, does she wander around?

Well, my daughter takes cod liver oil and has done so for over 3 years. We have also gone to visit Dr Herscu who gave her Veratrum Album and after 4 months we noticed one significant change -- she got a growth of some sort in her private area which lasted 4 days. In terms of cognitive ability etc. no change noticed. Her fears continued. She also took Med. when she first started on homeopathy. Just recently she was given Baryta Arsencum and it has had the greatest results in terms of cognitive abilities. It was going great for 2 months and now we see her impulsivity is greater and she feels she can not control her quick responses and attitude. She is very inflexible in dealing with people and situations. If she is told NO for ANY reason (as trivial as one can imagine) it sets her off and she gets very angry and irrate.

hi, i couldn't help but respond. my son was labeled adhd a year ago. we have been using homeopathy and have seen him grow and change finally becoming more "normal" he has taken many of the remedies you mentioned. some gave improvement, others did nothing. seemed like he was going in a circle for many months until (after talking with a naturapath from my local health food store)i gave him a remedy my homeopath and i had discussed awhile back. we saw much improvement after that and he is now taking what we feel is his constitutional remedy. bottom line, homeopathy will work but it's not always easy or clear as to what remedy will do it! it's sometimes hard to see things clearly as the parent-being so close. i reviewed my notes which i have kept since the beginning and realized that we (me and homeopath) never really looked at the depression my son has suffered from for many years. guess i always thought of it as anxiety. we gave aur. met. and many of the problems he was experiencing pretty much went away! my point in this novel is to maybe go back and re think what you see in your daughter. what i thought was anxiety was actually depression and despair. this led to the correct remedy and a cure. i do hope you find it. keep looking and post back. i'm not a homeopath but i can support! kppy

I have Celiac and ADD (depression, anxiety, on and on...) and one thing that has really helped me is Ionic Magnesium I got at the health food store. Mine is in liquid form. Also, the superfoods, blue-green algae, dulse, kelp all have helped a lot in getting the missing nutrients back and they are high in B vit. and calm and restore the brain and nerveous system. -Lisa B.
Re: What after Stramonium - ADHD & Celiac	From deseret [Log on to view profile]	on 2006-06-28
Dear Mother, I see you posted your question approximately two years ago. I hope you have since found information that has helped your daughter. If not, might I suggest a book that has opened up amazing possibilities? The name is BRAIN ALLERGIES, written by William H. Philpott and Dwight K. Kalita. It thoroughly discusses the possibilities allergies (anything from food to chemicals to smells)play in causing mental distresses. Dr. Philpott has come to the conclusion in his research that at least 75% of all schizophrenic episodes are caused by allergic reactions alone. He has been able to put people into schizophrenia, mental dillusions, hyperactivity etc. in minutes by addministering the allergy, and pull them out in minutes by administering the antedote. It is definitely worth checking out. It is possible your child does not completely respond to the homeopathic treatments due to the fact she is being influenced by a common allergy that is constantly nearby. I hope this information has some use for you or anyone else reading this forum. Sincerely, Deseret

Dear Mother, I am 41 years old with celiac and have many of the same symptoms as your young daughter. After many doctors' misdiagnosis I finally went to a naturopath who helped me with some of the same remedies that are mentioned in this thread with some great results. When out of the blue my neurologist of all people calls me after a visit from 4 months previous and tells me that I am deficient in Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and Vitamin B12. These are extremely important for brain function. I immediately started these vitamins and the difference in brain function is night and day. I'm calm, able to cope with daily life, able to sleep properly, my memory problems are gone. I no longer get that horrible sense that I am about to lose my mind. It was quite serious and scary there for a while. Sorry so long but this is important. There is much information on the net about theses vitamins. One can be quite deficient in Vit. B despite a normal test result. Also, these vitamins only work properly in ratio with other vitamins such as magnesium and zinc, so please consult a naturopath for proper testing and treatment. This changed my life. I hope this helps. Warmly Laila

I forgot all about this post until I found it via a google search. My daughter is no longer on a celiac diet...they are now saying she was diagnosed in error (after 2 years of being on the diet). The diet taught us a lot and I can only be thankful for the lessons learned and that she does not have to be restricted. My daughter is doing okay. She still has some issues that we would like to work out. The first is her memory. My daughter received tests which revealed she is in high ranges for most areas (87 % to 97%) but that her short term memory goes down to 56% and her long term memory down to 13%. We are finding that she is doing well in school with day to day learnings but when it came to mid-terms -- let's say it wasn't pretty. She had an A+ in English and got in the 60's on the mid-term...46% on Latin and it goes on... If she had a different personality she may be able to compensate for her poor memory but she continues to have them personality that says...I don't need your help and I know what I am doing...or that doesn't work for me (easy way out). She likes rountine and still likes to be in control as much as possible. I am thinking about trying Nux Vomica -- it seems to have a strong component of weak memory. Does anyone have any experience with this remedy and ADD with weak memory. By the way, when I say the easy way out -- I really don't think it's intentional but that she is drained mentally and to learn to do something a new way is too hard for her to imagine. She requires a lot (I mean a lot) of down time. She can't have too much on her plate or it overwhelms her. Thanks everyone!

I forgot to answer the question about my daughter falling. When she was 2 1/2 yrs old, my mother in law was watching her and she fell into a glass table top. She hit her (I think it was the left side of her forehead. She had a bump which came out at least 3 inches, both her eyes turned black and blue and her nose was yellow and swollen. Since I was at work I can't describe any of her reactions to the fall and can't be certain there was no concussion.

Then your next step, may be Arnica. This covers most of the symptoms you mention above, and the effects of such injuries can remain for years until the remedy is given. As an example I once had a case of a lady with agoraphobia which had begun shortly after a fall, some 8 years previous. One dose of Arnica 1M, and she was cured within a week.

I have been doing some research while I am waiting to receive both 200C and 1M of Arnica. I did want to bring you attention to this post http://www.bjainbooks.com/articaljune2.asp which discusses the use of Nat Sulph. I had been researching Nat Sulph which looks like it may have some similiarities to my daughter and now I am wondering what one should be used. Can you advise and/or compare the two? Thank you.
Re: What after Stramonium - ADHD & Celiac	From l471530 [Log on to view profile]	on 2008-03-12
Can someone help me to determine arnica or nat sulph for my daughter. Thank you very much for your help.
Re: What after Stramonium - ADHD & Celiac	From l471530 [Log on to view profile]	on 2008-04-01
