Excellent news - baby BP was farting alot then asked for a nappy and then pooed in it. He got a milky way - it was made clear this was for requesting a nappy.

We had stopped chocolate for wees but had to reinstate as he just wet himself!

How I wish baby bp was like MF and trained at 18 months - but at leat the end is in sight.

What a shit post

Not everyone who challenges their doctor is a raving middle class keyboard warrior amateur scientist. Some of us have pathology degrees

Well then it's not the same thing at all then. Kind of a key piece of information in the whole discussion.

The question is, when you show your amateur research to the doctor (who certainly may not be fully up to date on every single thing, that's true) and he still thinks the best option is not one you agree with - then what?

You make the best decision you can based on the information you have to hand. That's all anyone can ask.

Also, within reason, you trial treatments and monitor results as best you can. And you go to conferences and actually meet and talk to people that are going through the same, rather than rely on the anonymous postings on the interweb.

Not everyone who challenges their doctor is a raving middle class keyboard warrior amateur scientist. Some of us have pathology degrees, and have had to challenge their ingrained notions about who to trust when it comes to medicine.

The question is, what would you do if your child was suffering, and you met people who were getting positive results with a treatment that your doctor does not agree with?

In the world of autism, there are two types of doctors; those with autistic children and those without. Often the difference in attitude is remarkable, but maybe not so surprising if you take the time to actually think about it.

Don't you find it annoying when a client asks you what technologies to use, then comes back with "well I found a forum post about how Java is slow so we're going to use C for the web-server"?

You'd think they were an idiot.

Yes.

But if I was that client and came back with benchmark performance tests using nginx and nodejs vs tomcat and servlets I would expect the consultant to at least be aware of newer technologies and be able to advise accordingly.

Or if the consultant says, I've never heard of a cure for your problem, therefore one does not exist. So you might as well give up.

Which obviously would be fine for you and yours, but not for me and mine.

You always have the option of a 2nd opinion (don't you) if you don't agree with your doctor. Or your contractor

I have pulled doctors up a couple of times before - I always do some research first. I always remember a kidney doctor walking out on me because I knew all about haplotype(sp?) matching.

Personally I like clients who know a little about IT - they are easier to deal with(generally).

Discomfort for long-term gain is for the kid's own good. IF you can gain lactose tolerance that is, which sounds a bit fishy to me, I thought these things normally got worse rather than better. But if a doctor suggest something I'd at least do some research before writing off their advice.

Conversely, before blindly doing something that would cause my child pain, on the advice of anyone whether doctor or not, I would do some research.

Our experience is that doctors (GP's I guess) have very little understanding of nutrition / tolerances / allergies.

With our son, once we were able to get control of his gut issues, his behaviour, communication and learning improved considerably.
