supplements giving my son problems

[Guest guest]

My son is on the following supplements, per our DAN doctor:

Nu-Thera® without Vitamin A & D (1 a day)

Pro-Culture Gold and Pro-Bio Gold (one each day of one and

then one of the other probiotic the next day)

Culturelle (I'm also rotating this in every third day, but

never giving him more than 1 probiotic a day)

Vitamin C (2 500mg capsules a day)

Enzyme Complete with DPP-IV™ (1 capsule after every meal)

L-Glutamine (1 capsule a day)

Coromega (two packets a day)

L-Glutathione (1 capsule a day)

L-Carnitine (1 capsule a day)

CoQ10 (1 capsule a day)

If your kids have been on any of the above, what positive or negative

reactions have you noticed. My son has recently been much more

emotional, aggressive toward his 1 yo sis, more hyper and just

generally harder to manage. He's normally a pretty mellow little guy,

so this is a change. We're trying to figure out what's going on, and

think it might be related to one or more of the supplements.

I believe this contains P5P, which can cause phenol symptoms in phenol

sensitive children, which would include hyper and aggression and other

symptoms.

My children do not tolerate probiotics, even with enzymes.

If these are chewables, the flavor/color can cause hyper.

AFTER every meal? This is an enzyme and should be consumed BEFORE

meals, unless you are using it for other than food-intolerance issues?

My son was " mildly " hyper on a small amount of L-glutamine.

l-glutamine can be a problem with some kids. also thats a huge amount

of vitamin c, could be stripping needed metals out of the body.

better to keep the supplements simple and low dose and work from

there i think.

probitoics can have various effects, taking them consistently can

upset stomach flora. is there a yeast problem?

When we were dealing with the glutamine very early on, Devin said it

had " excitatory " properties and it seemed to make a difference when

certain kids on in (hyperness in a negative way). At the DAN

conference one of the presenters mentioned how glutamine was really

good for gut healing, but if the child had an adverse reaction to

stop it and allow the gut to heal more before continuing.

My daughter is phenolic kid and P5P was a problem. Also we give much

more Magnesium.

> L-Glutamine (1 capsule a day)

L-Glutamine in any amount caused my daughter to be very hyper. I

remeber a message on this board from Davin stated that 'under certain

conditions L-Glutamine gets converted to Glutamate which is no good

for anybody.

> L-Carnitine (1 capsule a day)

My older daughter (she is not autistic) stopped using L-Carnitine

after experiencing liver pain and couple other problems.

Good luck.
