Vit. D; MSM; Weight gain (lack of); oils

[Guest guest]

Hi ...my husband is a doctor who reads a lot of excellent alternative health

newsletters and he is pushing for me to take Vitamin D...he is strongly FOR it

in spite of the research mentioned against it.

MSM.....My son is 8 and I am not sure what dose to give him of this...

My son is not gaining weight...he has been 30-31 pounds for several years and we

have addressed this from may angles.(thyroid, nutrition, heart issues) He has

Down Syndrome and perhaps it is something in that extra chromosome?? But I

wondered if other moms of children with autism have struggled much with weight

gain ...I am doing the SCD diet and he gets good food, but I am wondering how to

step up the calories,,,I am not even sure if it is a calorie issue...I would be

interested to hear what other moms have been through in this area.

Also, I give Wesley 5 tablespoons of diffenet oils in his foods each day (okive

oil, walnut oil, coconut oil....) I wonder if that is way too much...

Anne
