on the edge Report post Posted February 7, 2006 Hi, Does anyone know of any liquid forms of paracetamol that are not flavoured or contain sweetener? My 3 year old son is on a GFCF diet and amongst other things seems to react to orange and strawberry flavourings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
call me jaded Report post Posted February 7, 2006 Actually you need to avoid paracetamol too. Given that the Sulphur Transferase system is, in any case, operating at greatly reduced efficiency, anything which utilises the system would be likely to amplify the effects of the deficiency. Foods or drugs rich in phenolic components, have often been reported by parents as having a deleterious effect on their children. Thus drugs such as paracetamol (acetaminophen), foods such as chocolate or drinks derived from apples or citrus fruits will, indirectly, result in a leakier gut and an increase of symptoms. http://osiris.sunderland.ac.uk/autism/pshdur96.htm We use ibuprofen in a liquid form which, although it has orange flavouring, seems acceptable on the very rare occassions he needs it. I can PM the brand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
on the edge Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Thank you. I didnt see that before!!! Luckily haven't had to give him anything up until now. We have been on the diet for 3 months and are still finding our way and finding out more and more as we go along. Would be great of you could PM brand- I am assuming it is the well known N brand?

call me jaded Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Don't worry! I've been doing this years and am still learning. Yes it is the N brand. Remember what works for us may not work for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
