new to supplements

[Guest guest]

We are new to supplements for our eight-year-old son. We began the GFCF

diet about two months ago. Based on test results, we then added nystatin,

probiotics, zinc, digestive enzymes and transfer factor three weeks after

starting diet. We have been using these supplements for about one month and

have seen small but definite improvements in the areas of compliance, social

interaction, verbalization, and decreased aggression.

After more test results had been received, our DAN physician recommended

further supplementation with vitamins (particularly B vitamins), omega-3

fatty acids, calcium/magnesium and glutathione. We began supplementation

Saturday with 1 capsule Nuthera (hypoallergenic) (divided dose), glutathione

100 mg and calcium/magnesium 500 mg. Today is Tuesday and we have seen an

increase in hyperactivity, return of a rash on his face, and several

episodes of screaming that appear to be due to abdominal pain.

My guess is it is too much too soon. We are planning to remove all of the

additional supplements and go more slowly. My overall feeling is that the

hyperactivity is due to the Nuthera. If so, does anyone have a

recommendation for a vitamin supplement that is low in Vitamin A (his is

already high) but high in the B-vitamins that did not cause hyperactivity.

In addition, does anyone have experience with these types of reactions that

were associated with these supplements?

Thanks so much,

Jeanne
