I'm one of the " new " moms. I've been reading all your posts, and getting educated. Thanks! > > Now I'd like to ask you all, what kinds of supplements are you giving your children? I am seeing SO many different things mentioned, most of which I've never heard of before. I have no idea what any of them are, or what they're supposed to be doing for your kids. I don't have my son on anything. I tried the B6/Magnesium/DMG/Pycnogenol on him 2 years ago, but not in conjunction with any dietary intervention. It really scares me to see so many people putting so many things into their children. That's why I'm asking. If some of you would be so kind as to tell me the following: > > Name/s of the supplement/s > What it is: i.e. vitamin, mineral, calcium etc. > What it's supposed to do: i.e. immune booster, antioxidant, help with language, etc. > Safe dosage for a 35 lb. 5 year old (no, that's not a typo, he weighs nothing and is in the 90th percentile for height) > > I'd also like to hear what kind of changes you've seen in your children since they've been getting the supplements. And of course, I'd also like warnings for which things to stay away from. > > And I have another question. How do you know whether something is really GFCF? Obviously from this whole Dari-Free controversy, you can't just go by reading labels. I drive half an hour to go to the store, so I don't have time to run back and forth calling the company (and no, I don't have or want a cell phone). I'm seeing all sorts of foods that look like they should be safe, but in fact I'm finding they are not. I'm already going broke trying to get my kid to eat, and i simply CANNOT afford to buy food that will be thrown away. > > Any advice you would be willing to give is appreciated. I only ask that you don't offer a list of books to read. Now that we've started the diet, books are a luxury that I have had to give up, and my local library could fit in a teaspoon. > > Thanks for your time and expertise. > > Colleen > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
