Re: High sulfur - hyperactivity?

[Guest guest]

What happens if a " high-sulfur " kid eats too much sulfur? Could hyperactivity

and irritability be a result?

After six weeks on one brand of sulfur-containing digestive enzyme, my son

was so hyperactive he began shaking his left hand. I stopped that enzyme

immediately, and also the Primal Defense he was taking at the same time, not

sure which was the culprit. It took weeks before my son stopped shaking his

hand.

Five days ago, I started him on another brand of enzyme, and again he's

shaking his had already. I think this enzyme also contains sulfur, but I was

desparately trying it in the effort to be able to expand his diet to include

some non-gfcf foods.

I've avoided doing the plasma-cysteine test because getting stuck is so

tremendously stressful for my son, but maybe we'll just have to do the test

now.

Dumb question - How do you know if your child is a high or low sulfur kid?

Does it have to do with sulfur wasting? Sonja eats 2 eggs every morning, so

she's probably really packing in that sulfur.....

This is a comment. About 2 years ago, my son's head and left hand started

shaking the next day, after the Easter picnic. I did remember giving him

Mayer's bolgna and ham lunch meat since that brand and those varieties were on

the approved gfcf food list. He shook for a few weeks; but, I made no

connection from his shaking to the lunch meat. He looked as if though he had

acquired the symptoms of Tourette's syndrome. Ojibwa tea got rid of that; but

then later, as I learned more, I realized the shaking had been caused by the

nitrates, nitrites, sulfites, calcium lactate, and whatever else that was in the

lunch meat. I no longer give him any kind of sausage, lunch meat, or canned

meat with all these additives in them. His shaking stopped, even though he

rarely gets a slight shake in his left hand which I think may be due to high

sulpher. I'm still working on the sulpher exclusion diet issue. Rose

Hi Debbie,

My son is a " low sulfur " kid, but when I give him too much he becomes

very emotional and he gets very easily irritated from the smallest

reasons.

I believe you should listen to your instincts They should be right.

an egg every day makes me hyper, i hadn't thought about it in the

context of sulpher. i eat barn raised or free range, battery hens are

full of anitbiotic.

if i take 150mg of msm or 500 mg of glucosamine sulphate i get a very

positive effect within half an hour, i think this indicates a probelm

witht there being not enough sulpher but the basic sulphate to

sulphite metabolic pathways are in order.

migraines and phenols seem to tie in with sulphur. at the moment i

am hyper, i wonder if its the glucosamine sulphate i took yesterday?

If my son eats eggs, he is aggitated and aggressive/volatile (not fully

aggressive, but irritable and likely to flail his hands at you, needing

prompting to stay on task at school, etc.) Whether this is entirely a sulphur

issue, or maybe a protein problem or egg allergy, I couldn't say.

This is exactly what happened to us as well. I called Great Smokies today to get

some info on the test. Guess we'll just bite the bullet and get it done.

This has been puzzling for me also. I have tried many times to figure out

Jon's sulfur tolerance by elimination of sulfur for a week or so and then

giving high sulfur. I have noticed hyperactivity on both and then out of

the blue one or two days of calm and extremely focused on again both the

high sulfur and no sulfur diet. I have been very careful to not make any

other changes during these trials also.

I am reluctant to get him stuck if it not needed but I'm not getting any

clues this way and I'm trying very hard to pay attention.

Any other tips someone can offer on observation?
