Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 Hi there - We give Vico two teaspoons at about 5:30pm every day. We started with a 1/2 teaspoon and over a period of about a week and a half slowly worked our way up to the full dose. We didn't see anything negative, but I think that's because we went slowly. I used a mesh strainer and it got out the big bits, but the powder is pretty fine and we have a bunch of sediment in our tea. A fine mesh filter didn't work too well becuase it would get clogged right away - the one I use is not as fine as a regular tea strainer, but not as big as a pasta strainer - I got it in the grocery store - stainless steel mesh. As far as your son's reactions - it could be a detoxing thing, but I don't know for sure. I guess just start really small and slowly work up to full dose. Some of our kids are really sensitive, so take is slow. Moira > > Hi - > > The tea is working very well for us. I added it in and didn't tell > > his therapists or my parents about it.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 We started the tea this month too. This is our third week, I noticed on the first night that I had a stomach ache, but now we take it in the middle of the the night, 1-3ish when we do potty breaks. I haven't noticed too many side effects - Jay(PDD/NOS, 10 has been extra-moody in the am- but he is also going through COMPLETE corn withdrawl-right down to the minute amount in salt so that may very well be that. It definitely makes us all gas-sy and every time my boyfriend and daughter take it their noses run and run- clear, but they run! They both have sinus issues. As an obese adult, in combination with this GFCF diet that I began a month ago, I have lost 15 pounds which seemed to fall off quicker when I started the tea but I am not sure if there is a correlation there. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
