Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 In my limited experience, if you feel it is unkind, it probably is! Whichever supplement you feel isn't doing him any good is probably either causing a reaction or causing die-off- maybe too quickly. If he is really sensitive, cut right back and try again, or much much much better still - try SCD. Read 'gut and psychology syndrome' by Natasha McBride - it was a life changer for us. We were also opening ridiculous amounts of supps and also sad that I was giving too many. Really turned things around now and Tom is on the up and up with way less supps and SCD. Very happy to chat if you want, 01792 875421 cos we were in the exact same boat, I think.
