Guest guest Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I was giving my son tryptophan for a few months, not knowing it may be causing his headaches and a rise in quinolinic acid. he is very stimmy , hyper and aggressive. Any ideas how to fix this now that I have stopped the tryptophan and added 5htp instead? He looks like he has symptoms of clostridia but I am just not sure if its the inflammation from quinolinic acid or clostridia and cant wait for a poop test. Aggression and headaches are bad. Any ideas??? I've added gabba and yucca but no changes. I just want to make sure that those who are interested know that there is a facebook group for parents treating their kids with autism with MMS.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 , fwiw, gabba has been a trigger for seizures here. Our experience w 5htp was about as bad. However, tryptophan is well tolerated and maybe because a lot of it is shuttling to make B3. > > I was giving my son tryptophan for a few months, not knowing it may be > causing his headaches and a rise in quinolinic acid. he is very stimmy , hyper > and aggressive.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Gaba can be problematic as well, some people reported symptoms similar to Trytophan, but L- theanine is better tolerated by a lot of kids. It calms them down and help to sleep better, perhaps this will be a better supplement to try, also homeopathic camomile is excellent Olga > > I was giving my son tryptophan for a few months, not knowing it may be > causing his headaches and a rise in quinolinic acid. he is very stimmy , hyper > and aggressive.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thanks. my son reacts horribly to theanine. Our kids are such a mystery. karen Gaba can be problematic as well, some people reported symptoms similar to Trytophan, but L- theanine is better tolerated by a lot of kids.It calms them down and help to sleep better, perhaps this will be a better supplement to try, also homeopathic camomile is excellentOlga>> I was giving my son tryptophan for a few months, not knowing it may be > causing his headaches and a rise in quinolinic acid. he is very stimmy , hyper > and aggressive.
