we did UAA trhrough DD and now give my son custom amino acid mix from Metabolic maintenance.He is calmer on it but I haven't noticed any other changes.nov2957 wrote: After a week of amino acids Deb Merlin's boy totally improved.

we have done amino acid testing and you will find that a majority of our kids are low in them. However, do know that altho some kids improve rapidly with one particular protocol--it is not true for many of our kids. For most it is a more complicated task.
