Doing Well, Except After Eating Cookies
Mike has been doing pretty well. He isn't a different person or anything, but his emotional ride is a lot more even most days.
And then there was yesterday, when I let him eat three chocolate cookies after school. He was very hyper all afternoon and evening--could not relax and amuse himself, was bugging me to get on the computer or something like that all the time.
I have let him have a vanilla milk shake after school before, and that doesn't cause this. So it isn't the sugar. Perhaps it is the chocolate.

bipolar is often because of a subclinically hyper thyroid - chocolate with regards to that is an issue... as is green leafies, rice, foods high in iodine like dairy and strawberry and salt... they bring on loud/violent/extreme behaviour.
next time it happens, up the magnesium aspartate and see the episode disappear... if it is the thyroid.
we expect ASD to have low thyroid - and bipolar to have high thyroid...
did the AK check him for aluminum?
with everything I'm reading from you, I'm getting this picture of high aluminum, high thyroid, bad bacteria/yeast forming in my mind... it's all the "same picture" as all these things are related...
black walnut is a thyroid depressor - you can ask for that to be tested. Lemon balm (aka "melissa") is also a great herb that helps all these things and it helps with putting the kids to sleep... You can get both for $20 at the HFS.
HTH...
