flouride

[Guest guest]

GFCF group:

I unsubbed a few weeks ago due to volume and, frankly, being a little

overwhelmed.

Now I'm back because I need some help & am not sure where else to go!

I gave my 5-1/2-year-old twins their first tablet of Flouritab, a

flouride supplement this morning. It is dye-free so I didn't expect any

problems. Later in the day, I noticed some unusual behaviors, some

language confusion, etc. I thought about all of the gfcf things the kids

had eaten that I was pretty sure were okay. I couldn't figure out

anything suspect until I remembered the flouride.

I know I've heard of flouride's being troublesome for some on the

spectrum. Anybody know why or have more info? E.g. if I switched brands,

might that help?

(P.S. We have well water so the kids' dentist suggested flouride now

while their permanent teeth are forming.)

Hi

The only thing I know about flouride is that there are two kinds : One is a

naturally ocurring flouride and the other is a chemical soup kind that they

put in most water, along with chlorine. I opt for bottled water now and

watch out for flouride in the toothpaste. My son used to eat it alot and I

didn't realize just how bad it was for him until I started the diet, reading

and joining the e-groups.

Hi,

I don't know if this would work for you, but there's a water called

" Trinity " water that some health food grocers carry that has high levels of

naturally occurring flouride in it. In fact, it says on the label to limit

children to 2 cups a day so they don't get too much flouride. It is also

alkaline, don't know if the pH would be a problem for you either. They have

a website if you need more info to ask your doctor.

HTH,
