Is this it? I am interested in if this really stops her from chewing on everything she sees..............?

We've been dealing with this for a very long time.

I don't know what I was thinking when I said I'd write down the names of the supplements my daughter takes over the weekend. Weekends are a zoo at my house. Actually, my house is a zoo at all times. So, here I am at work again, writing. Nobody go just by my advice, please. I am not smart at all when it comes to scientific stuff. The naturopathic doctors at Wholeness Center in Fort , CO, (www.wholeness.com) did some urine and blood tests and recommended these supplements for her. These naturopathic doctors do a more detailed and finer job of analyzing one's levels; they don't just say, "It's within normal range," like a regular doctor. They really fine-tune supplements to an individual's needs. I don't have the stuff right in front of me, so here is my best effort from my memory: Calcium magnesium citrate: She takes this for constipation. Some people give it to their kid with

autism for calming them. It doesn't seem to calm my wild one, but it makes her poop. Yee ha! The brand is Pure Encapsulations. www.pureencapsulations.com. Another pure supplement company is www.thorne.com. Vitamin C: I don't recall the brand name of this one. It's liquid and in a big bottle. It helps constipation. Fish oil: Apparently, this helps constipation, too. The bottle we use says Super EFA on it.Infant probiotics: I don't recall brand name, but you wouldn't be taking infant ones anyway. Digestive enzymes: The brand name is Digest Right. Citramin II minerals: This one actually stops her from chewing on everything she sees, which is something a lot of autistic kids do. I choose this one, because it excludes iron. Iron causes constipation. Biomin II is a good set of minerals without iron also. Always make sure the

minerals you take exclude iron so you don't get even more constipated than you already are. Syndion: An all-around great, pure vitamin/mineral product that excludes iron and includes good stuff like COQ10. COQ10: People take this for heart strength, immune system, etc. It also helps with muscle contraction, which I think includes intestinal motility type contractions. Acetyl-l Carnitine: People take this for cognitive function, and restoring muscular function, etc., which, again, helps intestinal motility according to my daughter's doctor. My daughter, however, doesn't like the preferred pure kind because it's sour. She takes a sweetened prescription version, which I have read, is not as effective. Since my daughter is too little to swallow capsules, we open them up and pour them into mashed baby food, stir, then suck them into a syringe and squirt them into her mouth, quickly followed by a favored beverage. Good luck to

you.Mel>> Thank you so much. So, you think it's not too late for me. > I am sorry to read about your situation, being on 3 caps of Miralax, plus enemas. > Still, I am glad that naturopath approach is working for your daughter.
