That's interesting. Neathery takes 75-100mg.of zinc daily. I remember a funny

thing that doesn't have anything to with supplements. When Neathery had her

first AIT treatment she started trying different foods. It makes me think that

she may not like the way the food sounds inside her head when she eats it - such

as crunchy or chewing. She tolerates swallowing but not a lot of chewing.

Although, now she loves raw carrot sticks which are crunchy. So, it's funny to

me that AIT helped her eat different foods.

This post reminded me to mention that at the mini-DAN I attended in

Little Rock zinc was really touted as often making kids less picky.

Sheila,

I wish I could answer that. I think our daughter demands it more than I require

it. So, she just is happy with the foods that aren't meat. I tried grinding up

chicken until it was almost dust one time and put it with potatoes - she spit it

out and wouldn't have any of it.
